Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, DJ Shadow's passion and love of music began at a young age. Growing up, he was exposed to various types of music from house to calypso, which has allowed him to DJ with an open mind. With much practice, he began to become better at my craft, and what started off as a hobby thrived. As he matured, he fine tuned my DJing skills by watching other great DJs & their techniques on crowd control. He then took this knowledge and expanded on it developing my own unique style.

Having worked with various DJs, promoters and playing different venues has allowed him to cross musical borders in many ways. It has provided him with priceless experience in terms of catering to the wishes of a multitude of crowds and he now excels in an array of music including: Hip Hop, R&B, House, Old School, Reggae and Soca/Calypso.

He slowly built my reputation up by appearing as a guest DJ on several local community radio stations in Toronto, Montreal and Buffalo NY. He also DJ'ed and hosted his own radio show, "The Ultimate Mix Show", from January 2000 to June 2003, on the now defunct Global Groove Networks which operated in Toronto through CHIN Radios 100.7FM and 101.3FM/1540AM dual band signal.
