DJ King Klash is from
Ruff Raleigh, North Carolina! He owns his own mobile studio and also records
dope videos as a videographer!
Great advice a friend gave him was to: “stop thinking so small minded by trying to put the city on and focus more on putting his state on.”
Background
His uncle is DJ Kraze. His uncle and father were born and raised in Bronx, New
York during the birth of Hip Hop. His father used to tell him stories of how he
and his brother Kraze used to DJ block parties with all the early Hip Hop
stars.
As he (Dj Klash) was growing up
watching BET and MTV he saw those stories were REALLY true. Also,
his mom had a huge collection of tapes from multiple different genres of music,
so he was pretty familiar with different genres of music at an early age.
She had everything
from Dr. Dre’s The Chronic, to Tupac
to, the Isley Brothers, the Ojay’s, Elton John, Madonna and plenty of R&B
and oldies. But, Cash Money and No Limit is when he really started identifying with
Hip Hop being from the south. That’s when he started writing his own rhymes at
13 years old.
DJ Career
He has always been influenced by music but he spent a
lot of time nurturing other artists’ careers before he began Djing and
producing himself in 2014.
He’s been Djing house parties for years but his first
real performance came from being a tour DJ for a Hip Hop artist named Madison
Jay from North Carolina. What he most remembers about it is that it was a great
feeling and an honor because he (Madision) had a nice buzz and he didn’t really
have to pull him in as a DJ because no one really knew him at the time.
He’s been produced by several local artists. He's DJed
for Madison Jay, Zipz Street a.k.a. Perp Dakota, Marley Jesus, Tour Bus, TIME
the Artist, Billz, P Mania, and BrassiousMonk.
But, his biggest supporters so far have been local artists
especially Madison Jay, his Uncle DJ Kraze, the late great producer Hiram
Glyphxxx and of course his girl friend.
Reflections and New Heights
His most challenging moment has been finding other people that take the music
industry as serious as he does. Also meeting others that are willing to make the sacrifices that he
made.
One thing he would change in his life? He wouldn’t have
gone to prison for 8 years. But he’s not really the type to regret because he believes that everything happens for a reason and that at a certain point in his life everything will add up. He’s been putting out good energy for
a very long time and he has faith that good energy will come back.
His goals for the future are that he wants to be rich. He wants to be financially stable.
He wants to own his own studio, label etc in the next few years and with his determination and tenacity he can bring his vision to life!
