DJ Akeem

Born in St Louis, Akeem's passion for music began at an early age. At 15 he discovered DJ Rectangle and had his mind blown. Exploring the worlds that that genre of music opened for him he found an outlet to focus that passion into. Shortly after that, he was given his first CD decks and a mixer by his family. Akeem then spent countless hours pounding music into the night and honing his craft. He started looking up to and studying the talents and skills of many DJ's at the time, including: DJ Qbert, DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ Enferno, DJ Charlie Chan Soprano, DJ AM ‘R.I.P’, DJ Sir Thurl, and DJ Master D.
Akeem was first recognized in 2005 by DJ Thurl (The Music Choice's Mixtape Channel for 2009 and mixer on KATZ 100.3 The Beat in St. Louis for 10 years.) and was taken under his wing. After being exposed to the glitz and glam of the local music scene he realized he was going to have to step up his game. Akeem then purchased his first pair of 1200’s and became completely obsessed with and dived right into turntablism. He trained for a couple of years under Sir Thurl along with his collection of skilled and seasoned DJ artists.

In 2007, Akeem branched out on his own to discover his own sound and then penetrated the local club set. After a few short months of getting his feet wet he started up his own promotion company with a business partner and called it "Best Damn College Parties". "BDCP" became one of the premier promotion groups in STL for hosting exactly that. Soon after the rest of the Midwest took notice and started tapping his group for events all over the map. 

After a whirlwind of shows, events, and public outings, Akeem captured the attention of the world famous DJ Charlie Chan Soprano (Run DMC’a tour DJ)in 2008. They soon became close friends and started working together to improve Akeem's already elite skills into something much much more. It was then quickly realized that his turntable skills were incredible. After years of training, developing his creativity, preparing his showmanship, and persevering adversity, Akeem's turntablism skills became a primary focus for his passion. Making the decks appear to be an extension of his own body and bending tracks to his will, crowds cheered him on as night after night he filled dance floors with a fury of energetic dancers and party goers. His routines consisted of various sets including Mash-ups, Top 40, Hip-Hop, R&B, Rock, House, Electro, Reggae and Dubstep.

With the talent Akeem possessed, the successful background he had taken a part in, and his endless enthusiasm for music in general, he was quickly recognized nationally as a rising star in his field and was tapped to play with national top shelf acts. He has performed along side major artists such as; Black Eyed Peas, Corey Gunz (Young Money Ent.), Rosci & Terrance (106 & Park Host), Day 26 and many more.
In 2011 Akeem met up with St Louis's Elements of Bass. After kicking in the studio and some small work with the group he did a quick stint in Vegas before coming back and linking back up with EOB and settling right in. Eventually he did a guest DJ at STLs famous "Bass and Bliss" monthly and a stunning mix on www.dnbradio.com. His stock has been skyrocketing ever since.
Akeem's ultimate goal is, "To travel around the world and express my love for music through the turntables." And he has been living up to that goal quite nicely.
