From the first conscious years of his life, Alexander was under his elder brother's music influence. He listened to rock in all its variety beginning with light pop-rock ending with super hard speed metal. In 1995 evolution of music interests leads Alexander to broken beats music - break-beat. Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, Junky XL, etc rhythms filled up his music space and left a mark on his further interests. Well in 1998 he heard drum-and-bass mix at underground radio "Supernova" for the first time in his life and since then was absolutely carried away by broken beats. In those years from the great variety of drum-and-bass music he mostly liked tracks with MC's muffin, but still something was missing. Thus the search for his own style track by track brings him to ragga-jungle and later to its forefather from Jamaica - dancehall. From that moment his heart started beating in time with the most positive and sunny vibrations on the whole planet. Moreover, an interest to the culture that gave birth to these styles appears and grows.
After recording several mixes that were highly estimated by his friends, Shk realizes that the time to come into play has come and that's enough of him being a passive participant of the process. Full of enthusiasm and resolution Alexander begins to master dj's art (foundations) playing at .. weekly parties at .. nightclub. He didn't have to wait long until more interesting projects - in April 2007 at .. party Alexander makes his debut in a big audience playing dancehall intro. Later were appearances (performances) at .. party (Russia), and an outstanding back-to-back with one of the most significant figures on Ukrainian ragga-jungle scene - Dj Dusty (Badman Selectah) at the party ... In June 2007 Alexander is an co-organizer and one of the participants of the first ragga-jungle open-air in Kiev - ... 2007 ends in traveling to some small parties and more significant events in Dnepropetrovsk and Novomoskovsk.
Shk is also an author and a host of Illegal Jungle internet radio-show dedicated to ragga-jungle and dancehall music and the culture itself.
Since December 2007 he's is a part of Illegal Jungle Crew together with Dj Dusty (Badman Selectah, Stuttgart, Germany), HoT (Tula, Russia), Dj D-White (Space Unity, Dp) and Dj E>nergetic (Dp).
Alexander's mixes make a detonating mixture of Jah-vibrations of dancehall and explosive rhythms of ragga-jungle. Shk sees his recent future in these very directions. He's full of strength and energy to develop young Ukrainian ragga-culture which has already conquered millions of hearts all over the world. He plays from vinyl mostly.
