DJ Double-8, is a DJ from Chicago , he developed a good ear and a love for music as a kid. His musical beginnings were in hip-hop, house music, R&B and other music genres. He started his DJ career at the age of 12 years old under the instruction of his Dad (DJ Pacman) and began to work with other DJs, music artists and organizations. Intel Music Group, Kin Solo, Dee Jay Alica, Nick Nonstop, Deen Akbar, Chaka Khan, Cheri Soul, Rhonda Flowers, Duane Powell, Celeste Alexander, Chi-Rock Nation, ULON and local Chicago ministries. His dad, DJ Pacman, educated him on the equipment, song selections and culture as well as DJ tricks and techniques. Chicago DJs Moz Definite, Illanioz and Shon Roka (Intel Music Group), Duane Powell and Gene Hunt, to name a few, have been some of his mentors and influences as well. His first DJ set was a breakdance battle with strictly hip-hop and breakbeats. Since very young, he knew almost certainly that he'd follow in the footsteps of his Father. And if that couldn't be closer to the truth, he's become multi-talented on the wheels, and has arrived with several respected events under his belt. Today DJ Double-8 has played several events, lounges, bars, private parties and radio including WHPK 88.5 FM Bang Le' Dex, 606 Chicago's longest running open mics battles at Subterranean, Pier 31 one of Chicago's premier  House Music Summer venues and The Chicago Cultural Center artist in residence showcase 2024.
