About Me


One of the best all-around DJs in the music scene today, DJ Vajra (pronounced "VAHJ-rah") has earned a place among the industry's elite. Whether it's through competing in some of the biggest battles in the world, dropping a killer mix set, or touring the globe showcasing his unique blend of turntable tricks and party rocking.
The name Vajra strikes fear into the hearts of DJs in the battle realm. His skills have earned him many accolades over the years including becoming the 2002 WSTC World Champion, winning 4 DMC titles, and earning a coveted spot in the Allies All-Star Beatdown World Finals in London, England.
Before beginning his decorated battle career, DJ Vajra became well known for spinning discs on the radio. During his time spent as resident DJ on "Basementalism" the show earned syndication to a worldwide audience.
Thousands of DJ Vajra mix CD's have been sold around the globe. 2007 brought forth the release of "Cuts and Drums", the immensely popular scratch record which received critical acclaim, and 2008 has brought forth his biggest release to date: "Showin' Off / The B-Boy's Best Friend", a mix album that showcases Vajra's mixing prowess by seamlessly combining Hip Hop, Funk, Jazz and Rock in ways you've never heard before!
DJ Vajra is constantly touring, and has rocked shows all over the world, including gigs with Arrested Development in London, The Roots in Amsterdam, De La Soul in Paris, a Blue Note tour in Japan, and all across North America with A Tribe Called Quest on the 2K7 Bounce Tour. Crowds have been amazed by his live performances, sharing the spotlight with such legendary acts as RUN DMC, Digable Planets, Common, and Mos Def. Vajra's main goal is to continuously push the envelope of what can be done live on stage with the turntables, while still keeping the party on fire!
