DJ Damon Bell

About Me

Damon began record collecting and djing at 16 years old, playing jazz, salsa, funk and Hip Hop; which led him into his deep passion for music. Learning to play the polyrhythms he heard in afro-cuban jazz, jazz fusion and hip hop breaks...he soon began to imitate those sounds by playing percussion and wind instruments. "Djing is just an extension of my love and relationship with music.." originally from San Diego, Damon has touched many grounds in the Americas and over seas playing with many of todays top producer/DJ's and recording artists. Look out for new music and mixed CD compilations in 2007.
