When he saw DJ Jazzy Jeff and DJ Nabs in action live, his life changed forever and his desire to learn the arts of scratching and turntablism was etched in stone. His parents saw his relentless passion and decided to invest in his dream. Today DJ Radikal is a staple in the DJ community and has devoted his craft to the Lord.
