I could remember when I 1st started heavy in the music business it was the Summer of 2007. I was 1st introduced to the Core by Iowa's legendary DJ, DJ Commando with over 25yrs in the game. He would go to these retreats and I would see how fun they looked but most of all how many important people were in the background and in the photos he would take. Commando has also been a great inspiration as to why I continue to keep moving forward in the business. So thank you Commando!! I am now so ecstatic to be representing several core DJs through SC Promotions the list include DJ Averi Minor, DJ Emiliot, DJs under the Mixshow Empire and now proud to announce the Legendary DJ, Mix Master Ice of the group UTFO that had the hit single "Roxanne Roxanne" was just added to the roster. I am feeling my brand is moving forward in a direction that I planned over 7yrs ago.
