If you haven't heard of DJ XS, you should know that he has very quickly made a mark in the Cayman Islands. Growing up in Toronto he found himself interested in the city's DJ's from a fairly young age. He remembers going to clubs and being fascinated with the idea of playing music for crowds. At the age of 19 he bought his first pair of turntables, and began teaching himself the craft. By the age of 21 he found himself DJing at some of the hottest nightclubs in south-western Ontario, also at one point holding 5 residencies per week. After being on island for a mere 7 months, he was crowned the winner of the Annual Heineken Green Synergy DJ Competition in 2008 and represented the Cayman Islands in Kingston, Jamaica at the regional finals in October 2008. His performance can be seen on the popular broadcast site youtube.com. Tabbed the "The Remix King" for his instant on the spot creation of mashups & remixes, DJ XS's unique skill allowed him to become the Cayman's most diverse DJ appealing to multiple music markets.
Although his passion lies in urban music, current and classic, DJ XS is well educated on various genres of music, from Hip Hop, to R&B, House, Rock and Old Skool. He prides himself on the fact that no matter what kind of crowd he has listening to him on air or in front of him at the club, he can find a way to accommodate their musical needs. His influences are DJ Sizzahandz from Crooklyn Clan, Jazzy Jeff, Starting from Scratch, DJ Charlie Brown, and DJ P-Plus.
