DJ Nawlege was born in Hamilton Ontario on April 1, 1984. Although born in Hamilton, he grew up in Niagara Falls, Ontario most of his life and still resides there today. Niagara Falls being a border town allowed DJ Nawlege to be closer the United States. Buffalo would become one of DJ Nawleges favorite places because he liked the difference between Niagara Falls and Buffalo and he also had family that lived there. DJ Nawlege made regular visits to Buffalo to see his family and his Aunt was already a successful singer in North America as well as overseas. Her influence motivated DJ Nawlege to get involved with he music industry. Also his Uncle who lived in Buffalo was DJ Nawleges source for the latest music news.
Over his DJ career, he has produced many Hip-hop oriented tracks that were influenced by the sounds of the club. The production style of DJ Nawlege is primarily club minded but this is not to say it is limited to only one style. His Inspiration for producing beats is created by visualizing how people would react when first getting onto the dance floor. The source for sampling comes from all genres of music because DJ Nawlege believes the correct organization of samples can create the ultimate sound without restriction to only one genre of music for sampling. After receiving considerable praise from the local hip hop community in Buffalo, NY and online hip hop production communities, DJ Nawlege has began to approach record companies for production opportunities. Recently he has been in contact with EMI Canada of the five major distributors in the music industry and with this as inspiration has begun producing with vigorous determination.Band/artist history
DJ Nawlege started being a DJ when he was 16 at his high school and this became his first experience with affecting people through music. Being a DJ became more than just a hobby it became a business. Over the short years that DJ Nawlege has been involved in the music industry, he has gained many contacts. After considerable thought DJ Nawlege decided to start an independent record label. In 2004 DJ Nawlege started at his first club in Niagara Falls trying to build a name in the club scene. Working as a weekend DJ, he quickly acquired an ear for the popular sound that created the most reaction from the crowds in the club.Have you performed in front of an audience?I started djing in at school dances then moved to bars then moved to clubs. My favorite momment was playing for the hottest club in the city for over 300 people. This was crazy becasue it was a club I always went to outside of work and it was my goal to play there before it I moved on with my career. I dont dj as much in clubs cause I am mainly focused on producing but I still have my skils on my turntables.
