Chang Bang dj’d with artists like Laurent Garnier, Felix Da Housecat, Deep Dish, Green Velvet, Richie Hawtin, John Aquaviva, Mark Farina, John Digweed, and Danny Tenaglia. However, lets not focus too far in the past.

Chang Bang has never constituted to one sound. He encompasses a plethora of music. Born in Manhattan, NY. Raised in NY and Miami, FL. He has sought out such diverse obscure sounds that he excites and entices his fans with the unknown and unexpected.

Chang Bang has played at Sundance Film Festivals. He has been a dj for New Line Cinema and Miramax. He spun at celebrity parties with guests such as Angelina Jolie, and Samuel L Jackson.

Chang Bang’s free spirit has not only led him to travel playing throughout the world. His free spirit has enabled him to go beyond music adventuring to collaborate music and film. That is how he became a pioneer dvj! San Francisco is where he had his first T.V. show, House Nation, a show interviewing various artists and discussions on the artist’s videos and music. His ventures have surpassed the borders of the USA. Chang Bang’s talents brought him to Bahrain, Austria, Lebanon, Poland, and the famous Cocoon Club in Frankfurt, Germany.

Chang Bang returned to the States to help produce dvj music video projects with Lifervisions. He has played at events such as Disturbing the Peace where he was interviewed by HBO. He helped to produce The Connext Project sponsored by MTV. You can listen to him on Digital Vinyl Radio hosted in Athens, Greece weekly, or see him at Project Ahmisa charity events spreading musical art to today’s underprivileged youth.

Currently Chang Bang is the resident at Cheap (Tampa, Fl.), the only metro hot spot in Tampa for music, dining, and networking. He is also a volunteer at the Moses Foundation for his Street Music Workshop. There he teaches djing, and hip hop for at risk youth in Sulphur Springs.
