DJ Rock Bottom’s passion for spinning records began just over 19 years ago. After relocating over 3,000 miles to California, he found that his walk to a different beat needed a soundtrack. Thus began a journey through the exploration of music & quietly developing the skills that made mixing and streaming music natural to him. 

DJ Rock Bottom has cemented his reputation as an elite DJ. One of few capable of taking audiences on a sonic journey through Hip Hop, House, Soul, Afro-Beat, Funk, Breaks & Dance Classics.

DJ Rock Bottom has opened for the likes of Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah,  Lupe, Bilal, Fiasco, Kamasi Washington, Jay Electronica, Faith Evans, Tank, Leela James, Floetry, Ledisi, Dead Prez, Mos Def, Currency, Robert Glasper, Allen Stone, Jaguar Wright, Dru Hill, George Tandy Jr., Foreign Exchange, Haitus Kayote, Anthony David & Martin Luther. Be on the lookout as DJ Rock Bottom continues to build a platform for expression on his own terms, in his own way. A unique selection & eclectic musical taste. The motto is “Real Music for Real People.”

Since 2007, with a collective of musicians from New York City, Louisville, Toronto, rural New Hampshire, and Atlanta, I have done over 150 shows, released an album “The Music of Transition,” and 15 singles. The Mountain-Funk-Jam-Sessions of the VON JERRYT & THE BEEZE Soundcloud page deserves a separate honorable mention! Click that link, and enjoy that goodness!

Highlights from the past few years:

In 2012 my song “Hope for the Future,” made its Film and TV debut in the “Little Brother” documentary, and on Season 1 of BET APOLLO LIVE.

The next year, Fashion One TV chose several songs for their programming, which aired in 120 Countries.

In 2013 and 2014, the Canadian Broadcast Company accepted the music into its library, and I was featured between Quest Love and Chrisette Michelle at Restoration Rocks!

Vibes in 2015 and 2016 included  some transformative experiences with the awesome audiences of SehiiiNYC and Cheryls Global Soul in Brooklyn. Those performances, other sessions, releases, and rehearsal antics here. In October 2016, I made it into rotation in my hometown of Louisville, on WCHQ FM!

I will continue to create original music from my heart and life experiences, with an intention to give audiences joy and power.

Meet Purple Tokyo, the boundary-pushing music artist navigating the intersection of dystopia and utopia.

From dystopian echoes to utopian vibrations, this artist crafts a sound that transcends genres, offering a unique ride into a new musical era. Purple Tokyo isn't just making music; they're creating a soundtrack for the end of one world and the beginning of another.
