Daz got into djing at the age of 13 after being heavily inspired by musical scratch patterns performed by Grand Master DST, and visually watching the ‘New Music Seminar’ dj battles where dj Cash Money and Jazzy Jeff would take over the whole show.
Practicing and learning scratch patterns from records like Gangstarr’s ‘Who’s Gonna Take The Weight’, or EPMD’s ‘So What You Sayin’ became a matter of importance. Understanding the turntable to be a musical instrument this became his way into the production game.

Daz went on to dj at parties, making mix tapes before landing a resident spot at Rotation and Camouflage. North and West London based club nights, which went on to win an award for best club night at the MOBO’s in 1998.
Daz was also part of production group “Ignorants” hailing out of West London. they were pretty much responsible for changing the whole remixing game in the london music scene remixing people like SWV, 702, All the way down to the likes of Kci & Jojo.
Through the success from the production, and dj competitions like the DMC, it enabled Daz to perform at high profile events put on by the Princes Trust, BBC & MTV, also performing and supporting artists like Erykah Badu, Janet Jackson, R Kelly , & most recently The Roots.
Daz being the founder of ‘The Resistance’ production group associated with Resistance Entertainment is always pushing the level of creativity in music and the way you play music.

Over the last 10 years Daz has elevated his flamboyant turntable wizardry style of ‘Cross genre’ mixing with the inclusion of AV. Which opens another realm for live show possibilities.
