About this Event
DJ Scratch’s illustrious career spans over 3 Decades. From being the opening act for RUN DMC & the third member of EPMD in the 80’s, to producing 8 Platinum Albums along with 3 Grammy Nominations for Busta Rhymes in the 90’s. Additionally, DJ Scratch was the tour DJ for Jay Z in the early 2000’s, and became the opening act for Beyonce. This Brooklyn, NY, born and raised native is considered in the Hip Hop World as a 5 Star General.
Scratch is a 2 Time World Champion DJ, Grammy Winner, the first recipient of the Global Spin Awards “Turntablist Of The Year” Award (Grammy For DJ’s) and he won this award 3 years in a row. In 2016, Scratch achieved the highest honor a DJ can receive by being knighted a Grandmaster by DJ Kool Herc (The Father Of Hip Hop). While his status in Hip Hop is undeniable, his talent & brand extends far beyond the turntables.
When Scratch is not DeeJaying, he’s programming his Online Television Network, “ScratchVision.” ScratchVision (Launched in 2009) is an online tv and radio network dedicated to giving the public what was taken off of music television (The Music). With a lineup of fellow iconic DJ’s, Scratch has been able to create a global musical balance by using the power of the internet.
With his website and mobile app, Scratch has the capability of video streaming live shows around the world. Scratch has silently become an internet mogul and has also spread the ScratchVision gospel to SiriusXM & FM Radio with his shows: “The DJ Scratch Show” on LL Cool J’s Rock The Bells Radio (SiriusXM) and “ScratchVision Radio” on New York’s 94.7 (The Block). DJ Scratch has mastered the Art of reinventing himself while keeping his identity in the culture & sub-culture of music. While his music production is responsible for the sale of over 30 million records, his first love is the turntables.
