Artist Profiles

Only about 5 years ago, a DJ in the Asian Community was a guy who played music at a wedding.  This is no longer the case. 

Some have broken the mould and ventured into producing their own music through fusion of styles. Some notable ones amongst them are LL Cool Singh, The Senator and Phat Boy Singh.

RDB - The new generation of DJs providing a more eclectic mix of the new & old styles. Read about the team which makes RDB.
