Out of the love for music and the inspiration from sound systems like Black Chiney, Cash Money and Bad Influence Sound he continued on his musical journey.

But giving up is not an option for DJ Junky as the young Disc Jocky set his eyes steady on being the top Mixtape disc jock on the island of Jamaica. His dream is to play alongside heavyweights like Major Lazer and Afro Jack.

Due to the success of his mixtapes he was invited by the management of Blaze FM 99.9 in New Jersey, there he played live on air for his fans, this led to him landing a gig at the famous Club Eclipse which is also located in New Jersey.
