BIOGRAPHY
Hailing from Mississauga (West Toronto), Canada, Beatwize's love for music started at a very young age. Whether it was blasting music from his boom box or playing the piano, by age 10 Beatwize was literally addicted to the world of music.
By the age of 13, Beatwize became interested in the guitar. And that's when it all really started. He began using Virtual DJ and Adobe Premiere and began making Hip-Hop blends under the alias DJ Dimez. As the years passed by, Dimez became a well known DJ not only locally, but began to gain some word on the internet from various sites.
Of course, this was just the beginning. Early 2006 rolled around DJ Dimez decided it was time to take another step into music. He began making beats. His first attempt was definitely a failure and he decided to stick to blends.
Nearing the end of 2006, Dimez decided it was time to give production another shot. This time was different. With increased musical experience and better resources, DJ Dimez began making beats with his own style and persona.
With this change talent, Dimez decided it was time to make a change in his name. He switched his name to Beatwize and began producing for internet underground acts such as TreaZon, D-Man, and hip-hip group iLLanova. Success was at Beatwize's table and so began his inspiration to make something more out of his talent.Your musical influences
