Band Members: DJ FERGIE::
Born and raised in Brooklyn New York (by the flatbush section of Brooklyn). As a child I grew up into the music business listening and learning from some of the best at that time like Afrique, supa-Doo (presently known as kolors), and Massive B, As my father decided to start his own sound. He decided to call it OVERPROOF SOUND which was founded in the summer of 1992 with selectors like Mega Kat, Sir Carlton, Lover, and Father Fergie. I grew up studying the way that they played until I was about 9 when my father gave me my own little set which was a shadow mixer with two Sony turntables with my first set of records which was the slam riddim which at that time was the latest riddim. When I was about 11 years of age I was able to start follow my father to play out at children parties/ barbeques. At the age of 13 I was able to play party in a backyard party on Church and 91st in Brooklyn along side Terror a selector from Supa Doo. After that party I felt I was ready for the road so I began to take the music to a next level as I started to play for events. In 2002 I began to run OVERPROOF SOUND as my father began to let go of the sound. I started off playing out in Shirleys Hideout, later on moving to many different occasions like weddings, sweet 16s and many more. In November of 2003 I my family migrated to Ft Lauderdale Florida where I a m currently starting to make my name as DJ FERGIE, playing at events like the celebration for some of the cities of Florida.Di gal wey follow overproofDJ Fergie, DJ Kat, DJ Juice

DJ JUICE:Born and grew up in Kingston , Jamaica . Juice has the pleasure of experience many big sounds of the early 80's and 90's while reside in Jamaica . Due to the fact a member of his family was a big promoter that promotes dances with Stone Love, Metro Media and more, and most times the dance would be literally footsteps from my house. Juice uncle have a sound system in Jamaica with a room full of records dating back before he was born. That's where he would get his practice while skipping school to play music, then my interest grew to start playing on my own. At the age of 14, he started collection his own records and from his own sound with his friend Gentle Love. But those days I would only play music from my yard for the neighbors to hear otherwise known as Yard Sound. Not long after his family migrate to Canada . Then for a couple of years he take a break off the music business, but he was still buying the latest Hip-hop, R&B and Reggae cds to fill up his cd stand that holds over 300 cd. And he would have two portable cd players and a Realistic mixer to dj with cd, back in 1995. He had friend that would laugh and say Cds would never take over Vinyl, but I was determined to become the first cd reggae sound. Meanwhile his other uncle form a sound in the early 90's , OVERPROOF SOUND. He lives in Brooklyn and would play all over the tri-state, and for a couple of years on the Eastern Park Way for labour day parade. The first time he visited New York he got a chance to play at big party, he like the vibes so much, so he decided to join Overproof sound and bring the sound name to Canada as the Canadian version of Overproof using he cds to spin.
