THE WORLD FAMOUS CLUB RITZ MARCH 1FOR BOOKING CALL AKIO @ 718-219-1898TAKE A MINUTE AND REFLECT ON THE WORLD OF HIP HOP IN 1993 ………….GOT IT? GOOD….MOST HIP HOP HEADS WOULD MENTION WU-TANG CLAN, TRIBE CALLED QUEST AND EVEN DIGITABLE PLANETS BUT AFTER 1993 THE DJING ARENA WOULD NEVER BE THE SAME. AN UP AND COMING, SELF-TAUGHT DJ SKILLZ BURST ONTO THE HIP HOP SCENE WITH A MISSION TO BRING THE HEAT THROUGH TURNTABLES AND MIXERS WITH NO REMORSE. INSPIRED BY DJS LIKE DJ PREMIER, KOOL HERC, GRANDMASTER FLASH, KID CAPRI, RED ALERT, AND JAHSON (MOOD), DJ SKILLZ WOULD BECOME A FORCE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY ON ALL-LEVELS LOCAL AND NATIONAL.
DJ SKILLZ RECIPE FOR SUCCESS IS A MIXTURE OF PERSISTENCE AND DEDICATION TO HIS CRAFT, STICKING TO THIS HAS PAID OFF. THE OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME PRESENTED ITSELF WHEN G-FRESH (3RD FINGER RECORD POOL, B-BOYS UNDERGROUND) CALLED ONE LATE NIGHT OFFERING SKILLZ HIS FIRST JOB IN RADIO. SKILLZ BECAME A MIX SHOW DJ/ON-AIR PERSONALITY ON CINCINNATI’S COMMUNITY RADIO STATION WAIF 88.3FM. SKILLZ HELD DOWN THE UNDERGROUND HIP-HOP SHOW EVERY WEEK FOR 4YRS. AFTER REACHING A PLATEAU ON COMMUNITY RADIO SKILLZ THEN MOVED ACROSS TOWN TO CINCINNATI POWERHOUSE 100.9 THE WIZ REPLACING SYNDICATED MIX SHOWS! SKILLZ NOW SERVES AS MUSIC DIRECTOR AND MIX SHOW COORDINATOR FOR 101.1 THE WIZ IN CINCINNATI, OH.
SKILLZ HAS BEEN ROCKING THE AIR WAVES IN CINCINNATI FOR 11 YRS. GETTING NUMBER 1 RATED SHOWS CRUSHING THE COMPETITION IN CINCINNATI AND PUTTING TOGETHER A MIX SHOW ROSTER OF DJS THAT OTHER STATIONS ENVY. SKILLZ COMMANDS THE NUMBER 1 RATED “10’CLOCK MIX TAPE†MON-THUR 10PM-11PM AND THE NUMBER 1 RATED “SATURDAY NIGHT STREET PARTY†10PM-MID ON 101.1 THE WIZ. SKILLZ HAS HIS HANDS ON EXCLUSIVES IN HIP-HOP AND R&B AND IS ONE OF THE FOREFRONT DJS ON THE REGGAE SCENE IN THE TRI-STATE AREA WITH RESPECT FROM THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY! OUTSIDE OF COMMERCIAL RADIO, DJ SKILLZ IS ALSO A MEMBER OF DJ WHOO KIDS SHADYVILLE DJS AND SPINS ON SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO SHADE 45 “G-UNIT SATURDAYS†ON SATURDAY MORNINGS 8AM-10AM.
AFTER EXPERIENCING ANY EVENT IN WHICH DJ SKILLZ IS ON THE TURNTABLES, ANYONE WILL REALIZE THAT THERE ARE FEW DJS THAT CAN PRODUCE THE ENERGY THAT HE DOES IN THE CLUB. WHEN HE IS AT WORK THE INTENSITY AND PASSION HE HAS FOR THE MUSIC IS INESCAPABLE. AS HE SWITCHES FROM RECORD TO RECORD THE CROWD FEEDS OFF HIS ENERGY. HE AMPS THE CROWD ON THE MIC, THEN THROWS ON AN EVEN HOTTER RECORD. JUST WHEN YOU THINK THE PARTY IS AT ITS CLIMAX HERE COMES YET ANOTHER RECORD HOTTER THEN THE LAST. DJ SKILLZ RECORD SELECTION, SWAGGER, AND ATTITUDE TRULY DEFINE HIM AS AN ARTIST. HEARING AND WATCHING HIM PLAY IS A PERFORMANCE IN ITSELF. THAT IS WHY JOBS CONTINUE TO ROLL IN AT CINCINNATI’S MAJOR NIGHT CLUBS AND PROMOTERS WILL DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY TO HAVE DJ SKILLZ PLAY AT THEIR CLUB.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS: DJ SKILLZ HAS AN ENORMOUS PRESENCE WITH TODAY’S MOST DESIRABLE TARGET AUDIENCE. WHEN HE PLAYS A RECORD, IT BECOMES A HIT. SKILLZ IS KNOWN, RESPECTED, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY-HE IS TRUSTED.
