Before focusing most of his energy on house music production, Freestyle, a gifted technical dj, placed 1st in the Scratching division and 2nd in the Beat Juggling category of "The Technics Ultimate DJ Showdown" in 2001. He also won several mixing competitions in his home state in the early to mid 90's.
Freestyle's diverse career and passion for multiple genre's of music, has seen him work as an instructor for Technics and other schools (United DJ's Mixing School), teaching the art of Scratching (old and new school styles), Harmonic Key Mixing and Production/Engineering.
DJ Freestyle experienced another side of djing when he took his love of music to the airwaves, hosting his own deep house radio show in the late 90's.
"Funkshun Produkshuns" (DJ Freestyle's own production facility), was established in January 1999, after completing several years of training at K.Rasta productions.
