I'm DJ Joey Joe, I grew up a fiend of music since I was small, I've been DJing (and producing) on a small scale for too long. I started out as a rapper after a while I was making pause mixtapes & beats to listen/rhyme to then later on I ended up learning how to mix, blend, and dj with cassettes & worked my way up to turntables. I focused on the music the less I rhymed & the more I got into spinning, scratching, mixing (thanks to my cousin who kept me interested in it) and then later on I found out about college radio which introduced me into "underground hip-hop" & "techno". I begin spinning (hip-hop & reggae) for and at parties but I have been making personal mixtapes for even longer. I've been into house music for a long time too but didn't start spinning/mixing it until later of course I still love underground hip-hop too. I'm a vinylholic, even though I have tons of cds & cassettes, I still crave & seek music on vinyl more than any other format. Bought my first sampler learned the ins & outs of making hip-hop beats, then later on I graduated to the MPC, and haven't looked back since.
