Dj Flex's interest for music started at a very young age and always wished
to make it in the djing industry. "I remember going to a record store when I
was aged 10 and buying Michael Jackson's BAD album. This was the first ever
record I bought and learnt to mix with". Flex got the inspiration of djing
from old skool djs who had been in the game for a long time i.e. Dj Qbert,
Mixmaster Mike, the Xecutioners, Jam Master Jay (R.I.P) and many more. At
the age of 15, Flex got a pair of 1210s Technics turntables as a birthday
present and it is from that time when he started learning how to mix,
scratch, blend,etc. "I picked up the whole art of djing from watching Disco
Mixing Championships videos and listening to mixtapes done by other djs. I
invested a lot of my time into learning the skill of djing. Whilst my peers
were busy enjoying their childhood life, I spend a lot of time in my bedroom
djing and making mixtapes" My other inspiration of djing was my cousin 'DJ
BONDE',who was a club dj at that time. Through hard work and determination
Dj Flex managed to break through from bedroom mixing to djing at parties and
school functions. Flex managed to make a name for himself in Southend, Essex
and most people recognised him. At the age of 18, Dj Bonde (Flex's cousin)
made Dj Flex part of their Djing entourage,'Boogie Down Family' and that's
the time when he got the first exposure to the club scene. "I used to carry
their record bags and in return they would let me do a warm up set". Flex
was part of the crew for two years then decided to do his own thing. Moving
to London was another break through for Flex even though there was a lot of
competition. He was a resident dj at a number of clubs around London such as
Fusion Nite Spot in Woolwich, Club Mission in Southall, Quake in Woking, The
Star in Harrow and a lot more. Flex wishes to expand his djing career even
further. .
