Tommy D was born in 1983 and started DJing in 1999. After spinning at several clubs and partys during the first 4 years, he decided to spend his time on scratching and turntablism. After a lot of practising on the ones and twos he finally had his first battle in 2005 where he immediately noticed that this was the right thing for him to do. After spending almost the whole next year on a new mixtape and his studys he came back with new routines in 2007 to prove himself once again. In the beginning of 2007 he made it to the new "Wizard Of Ahh" scratch battle, which showed that he counts to the best scratch-djs in whole germany.
But not only as a turntablist he also kept on spinning at several jams and clubs.
In 2005 and 2006 he introduced his name to the frankfurt hip hop scene playing regularly at "Tanzhaus West" and "O25" . At Frankurt's Radio X with freestyle sessions and shows like the "Turntabler Stammtisch", featuring djs like DJ Yesta, DJ Crack, DJ Templer and many more, Tommy D's fresh cuts appeared on air.
Also in Heidelberg Tommy played at the famous "Karlstor Bahnhof", "Halle 02" and other clubs.
He was supporting act for groups like Dilated Peoples, Elzhi & DJ Dez (Slum Village), Phat Kat & DJ Houseshoes (Detroit), Biz Markie, R.A. The Rugged Man, Olli Banjo, Torch, Blumentopf, Main Concept, Taktloss, Too Strong, Massive Töne, Real Jay, Jonesmann, and many more.
He mostly plays Hip-Hop, club orientated but also hot underground shit, bangin' old-school classics, funk and trip hop. Of course all mixed up with a lot of funky cuts! You should better listen to one of his sets...
So watch out for Tommy D's new mixtape, which will be available soon and check out any place he's going to spin!!!
