In 1993, DJ B-Naut began learning how to spin using a system he gathered from broken equipment he found in local yard sales and a very used mixer from Radio Shack a close friend had given him as a gift. Armed with only a handful of records he found in the Georgia country side, plenty of free time on his hands, and a few rolls of duct tape for quick repairs, he took the first step in achieving his dreams of acquiring cult fame status.
In 1996, B-Naut landed his first club residency at Tsunamis Music Complex on the Water in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. During his residency in Florida, his family ran a local car stereo shop which gave him a new lust for the booming booty-shaking bass rhythms you know him to mix today.
In 1998, he moved back to Georgia to revisit his roots as a DJ. Mark Bell (a.k.a. DJ 43 of Yes Mate Records and a pioneer of the Athens DJ scene) saw promise in the young B-Naut. Thanks to Bell, B-Naut soon gained residency at Athens Music Factory to play weekly for the party thirsty crowd of the University of Georgia. In October 1999, he played live on WUOG Radios Essential Rhythms (Athens, GA) while a riot broke out in the stadium next door during a UGA versus Tennessee football game. During the same year, he premiered his showmanship to the people of Dragon*Con as the Devil with the Blue Dress On and as the Human Beat Box / Guest DJ for the British Media Track.
Since his humble beginnings, DJ B-Naut has toured the East Coast playing miscellaneous raves, entered and placed in local DJ competitions, and sci-fi festivals. B-Naut has played for the masses at Dragon*Con 2001, Fantasm 2002, Dragon*Con 2002, Dragon*Con 2003, and Dragon*Con 2004. You can also catch him spinning parties all over Atlantas hottest party districts from week to week.
Now in 2007, B-Naut is a seasoned veteran with a killer instinct in the art of crowd moving. Also associated with the Star Children, and The Speaker Freaks, DJ B-Naut is rocking dance floors all around Atlanta and beyond. Currently, he owns, designs for and runs 42MegaTon Productions which is a new Web design and music production / live event management collective based in Atlanta. His limited edition mix CD titled, Southern Fried & Extra Crispy vol. 1 was released in August 2003 and has received much critical acclaim. B-Nauts second independent underground CD release, "REVERT: Revenge of the 80's Remix", was released in August 2004 much to the anticipation of his devoted fans. Last, but certainly not least, a collection of B-Naut's remix works released in late Summer 2005 known as Eat Mor Dee Jas is his first step into becoming a world class producer.
