CRAZE (3 X DMC WORLD DJ CHAMP)

If the first thing you know about Craze is that he’s the only solo DJ to win the DMC World Championships 3 times over, prepare to get yourself schooled. From day one, every uphill battle that Craze faced was met with intense adversity; every kick while he was down only served to help him rise up even stronger.

By the age of 20, Craze had won his first DMC World Championship. Two more consecutive wins later, he was (and remains to this day) the only three-time winner of the world’s most respected international DJ competition, the DMC World Championship – earning the attention of Time Magazine who proclaimed him “America’s Best DJ.” From Jamaica to Australia, Japan to Nicaragua, Craze has toured the world over, stunning audiences and DJs alike with his top-notch showmanship and masterfully genre-bending sets.

One of those worldwide treks happened to be Kanye West’s 2008 Glow In The Dark Tour, where Craze accompanied West as his stage DJ across the globe. Always evolving, Craze founded Slow Roast Records with Kill The Noise, an imprint of the infamous Fool’s Gold Records (A-Trak, Kid Cudi, Danny Brown) in 2010. With two releases in 2012 – the Selekta EP and Deeper with Codes, he didn’t slow down and instead in April of 2015, released a 4 track EP with the title track called “Baby Gurl” featuring a young superstar on the rise named Troyboi. The EP also boasted a bonus track with Miami rap legend Trick Daddy called “Bow Down”. As if that wasn’t enough it was also the year, that he brought us one of the most prolific DJ routine videos to date: “New Slaves”.

2018 brought the release of his EP entitled K.O.S. Knowledge of Self on Slow Roast Records and his Master Class routine video for Serato, “I Got The Juice” where he revealed not just his DJ skills, but his comedic chops, which begs the question, is there anything Craze can’t do? With remixes such as Tchami’s “Proud” and “Yangmei” on Vision Recordings, Craze has set his sights on furthering his work in production and putting out music under Slow Roast.

Always humble and putting the performance above all else, Craze has earned his place as an international ambassador of the art of real djing. So when someone asks you “Whatchu know about DJ Craze?”, feel free to let them know a thing or two.
