About Me

Born in Barbados, now living in Wash DC. - You can find me in the local hot spots blazing the greatest Caribbean music - old and new. My favorite hiding place is my studio, whether I'm recording, mixing, mastering, broadcasting, voicing, politicking or just networking, that's where I love to be...who am I? SPYDA THE DJ, not to be mistaken for any others (spiders spyders or spidas), shouts to all other DJ's and performers out there by the way. Entertainment has ran through my veins since I was in my mothers belly I guess, this is to show you that I've always known myself to be a entertainer, there was no realizing, it was always there, like a way of life. My grandfather had a extensive collection of records, gospel, country hmm, that's about it, no reggae or soca in that house "lol", but I still managed to get in his groove and jam with him, you could call me his Lil' Selecta, Sista Marshall or Joseph Niles?, no prob! I got it on the wheels. Although I'm sure that he didn’t know those simple happy days would give me the foundation to be a professional dj today, I am sure that he's proud of his Lil Selecta. Next step was school, I was fortunate that I was born and raised in the Caribbean (nothing like it) and I went to school walking distance, so before and after school, I would be taking apart and and putting back together everything that made noise and had to be plugged in...yes I ran the PA system @ school, and boy was it fun, who else gets to play reggae music b4 assembly...yup those were the days, although it was alota fun I still had lots of respect, it's not like I was blasting the thing, but when speakers were set up (2 hrs b4 assembly lol)...I'd just run some tune lowwww, and students would gather round, teacher passed by...Music off..SIMPLE, these were all things that came natural to me, born entertainer. As I got older I learned more, got more refined, had a lil gig in a clothing store (Rue Rue) that was owned by the madd comedians, this sure was lots of fun, although I wasn’t paid much I didn't seem to mind catching the bus...w/ RECORDS, buying some more records while I was in town, having to buy food and still catch the bus back home, you know why I didn’t mind....cause I Fcukin loved it...and this is probally why I'm still a dj now, because I love what I do and how I make ppl feel...that's it for now boys and girls...PEACE.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 4/28/2006
Band Website: www.musicsurgeonsound.com
Band Members: Me, myself and I
Influences: The original MUSIC SURGEON - may he rest in peace. When I was a youngster, growing up in Barbados I was highly influenced by a local dj, who went by the name Music Surgeon, he didn’t teach me anything, but from watching him, I got the strength and the courage to pursue what was already in me to the fullest. He was involved in a fatal car accident in the early 90's on the way home from spinning, I too encountered a life threatening car accident on the way home from spinning and this is one of the reasons why I feel there was a connection between us as performers, and I'll do my best to make his name live on. I also have to give Nemisis Sound Station, Brother Nferno, Sprang Intl. and the Legendary Supreme Team (special thanks to Ron Supreme for giving me the name SPYDA) mad credit, they were all spinnin on the east coast before I was, and I was truly inspired to play music in America because of the many times I watched them do their thing.... So after such influences, now I'm motivated...motivated by lovers of music and artist that care enough to put out quality records. Give thanks....Spyda the dj
Sounds Like: Hmm, I'm not the greatest DJ in the world "SIKE", but there's nothing like it when I spin, I'll take you everywhere, the heart of kingston JA, the lovely beaches of Barbados, the savanna in Trinidad & Tobago and even to South America, in a couple hours and have you right back in America in time for breakfast...basically what I'm saying: I am very versitile, my heart is with Caribbean music and I can give you the best of Reggae, Soca, Latin , Hip hop and some good ole r&b... SOUNDS GREAT!!!
