DJ Boom got his start in the music business in the summer of 2001, while working in a West Indian music store in Baltimore City. With daily practice, access to the hottest Dancehall music and local networking, the opportunites to work in clubs arose quickly. And by this time, Boom was ready. After a few years of working the Baltimore Bashment scene and finding a niche, Boom linked up with the international touring band, Jah Works, spinning between their sets. With experience in the thriving Bashment scene and his American upbringing, Boom complimented the well-established Jah Works crowd with a versatile and authentic mix and delivery. "Everyone brings their own experience into their music, and I was lucky enough to have had exposure to both Jamaican and American sounds at a young age," says Boom. In the start of 2003, he tried his hand at remixing, which while rough at first, began to take flight after a few months of work. With a genuine love for the music and West Indian culture, Selector Boom continues to promote music to listeners whether through radio, his website or helping artists and other selectors develop their own website. "A good friend and mentor of mine, DJ Smally, told me you have to deal with people as people because you will always be a person, you won't always be a DJ." Boom goes on to say that, "With the amount of people in this business, everyone can get further working together as opposed to warring with each other, and that's how I try to stay". You can tell by his flex, that DJ Boom has taken Smally's advice to heart Check out these other tracks! please click here to download the Macromedia Flash Player. |
