DJ Scratch DJ Scratch has been globally showcasing his DJ skills for over 2 Decades. Because of that hard work & dedication, he is now acknowledged by the Legends before him as one of their own.

In 1988, shortly after winning the New Music Seminar Battle for World Supremacy DJ Championship, he joined the RUN DMC “Run's House World Tour.” Befriended by the late Jam Master Jay (“JMJ”) of RUN DMC, JMJ mentored Scratch & converted him from a raw battle DJ to an all around performer & showman. In exchange, Scratch taught JMJ DJ solos that he performed in RUN DMC shows ever since. When the tour ended, JMJ recommended Scratch to the rap group EPMD, who needed a DJ with flair.
