JUNIOR
Coming from a city with a music culture such as Austin, Tx it wasn't hard for
Junior to find music in any and every form. As he ventured into music for himself,
he fell deeply in love with rap. "I was captivated at how there were so many facets
and individual styles to rap, as well as rappers" says Junior. As a love for words
grew deep inside of him, he began to create his own music, as well as release
projects for the local public.
With some of the most talented local artists at his disposal, Junior had a
great backdrop for his first mix tape "Fresh Produce". Which was received very well
by his peers and listeners alike. His second project "Sumthin Serious" rounded
up more of the cities talent to support his efforts. It was a great success, and
immediately opened performance opportunities for Junior to partake in.
In deed this is just the beginning, as his third mix tape is currently in the works,
he has no doubt it will be a monumental project.

DJ D-BEST
Dorian has wanted to become a DJ ever since he first saw the HBO series Def Comedy Jam and Kid Capri was mixing it up on the 1's and 2's. He was certain that he wanted to be a disc jockey when the film Juice came out. To him the DJ battle culture is hip hop in its purest form. Around the age of 12 he found himself messing around with his mother's stereo system and used to switch between vinyl and CD to teach himself how to scratch. Within a few years after that, on his birthday, his parents bought him a DJ starter kit -- since then its been a wrap. D-Best has DJ'd for schools, "mad house parties", and numerous clubs and bars downtown. Most recently he competed in DJ Abe the Assassin's "Last DJ Standing" competition.
His style of music includes hip hop, R&B, reggae and soca. D-Best has lived all over the world, which he feels give him a good understanding of different types and styles of music that party people like to hear. D-Best hails from east New York and considers his style "East Coast". He currently resides in Austin, Texas and has also incorporated the "down south" style of music into his shows. His reggae and soca background comes from his Trinidadian heritage.
A direct quote from DJ D-Best : "I am not like your ordinary DJ you see in the clubs nowadays. I consider myself an endangered DJ. I am like your old school DJ that cuts during a track on time and with skill. My belief is that you have to use wax to be a real good DJ, so my motto is REAL DJ's USE VINYL!!!" - DJ D-Best
