Music has always been one of Bobby's true passions. Since the tender age of eight it has dominated his life. It initially began while he was listening to artists such as Gurdass Mann, Kuldeep Manak, Surinder Shinda and Chamkila. He later became interested in western artists including Run DMC, Dr Dre, Michael Jackson and Bally Sagoo. The musical element spawned from there, but the actual showmanship and performance of being a DJ began at the age of fourteen. This was when Bobby started to convene with other fellow DJ's and caught the so-called "DJ virus"...
In his teenage years he invested in his first set of turntables on which he learned how to mix down tracks and blend in music. In 1995 Bobby became part of "Desi Krew Roadshow", covering various types of Asian events and holding residencies in many RnB clubs.
In 1999 Bobby started a degree course in Music & Audio Technology to develop a further knowledge of music creation. 2001 saw the unofficial release of his nationally acclaimed Urban Mix-Tape "Da'B Side". This was one of the phatest mixed tapes produced in Glasgow, and created such an impact on the R'n'B and Bhangra scene, that people still await the sequel!
Leading on from this success, Bobby toured the UK with Channel 4's Urban program 'UK Flava'. He has also entertained in T-in the Park's VIP tents for the past two years in front of an audience of internationally recognised artists such as Pharrel, Oasis, Black Eyed Peas, Snoop Dog...He has also been the DJ for The Game & G Unit Scottish Tours.
At the age of 21, Bobby was one of the youngest Scottish DJ's to have played for Trevor Nelson at the unforgetable 'MTV Lick' and Radio 1's 'Rhythm Nation Parties'. In addition, he has played at the Scottish MOBO Awards and the Beat 106 Parties, alongside many other top DJ's. Bobby's portfolio is overflowing with projects. These include working alongside the industry's top names such as, Aitch B, Jamelia, Tim Westwood, Glamma Kid, Ms Dynamite, Black Vinyl Magic, Hanif, Dodge, Swerve, Fun*dmental, Romeo, Harvey, Nikitta, Leathal B, Paul N'jie, Punjabi Mc, Rishi Rich, Jay Sean, Juggy D, Veronica, Jazzy B, Dr Zeus, Aman Hayer, Mentor Kollective, Metz'n'Trix, Tigerstyle, Kray Twinz, Hard Kaur, Blitzreig, Bobby Friction & Nihal, PHS, Achanak, Alaap, Malkit Singh, DCS, RDB, VIP Recordz Family and many more....
Over the last 6-years, Bobby held a residency with 'The Explicit Licks Street Team' who run many nights throughout Glasgow, including the Sub Club Under 18's and 'The Jump Off' at Destiny Night Club. 2006 saw the parting of Explixit Licks Street Team and the new baby was born, G Town...
Bobby has also worked alongside many club promoters in Scotland, to put R'n'B/Bhangra on the map. His portfolio inlcludes club nights such as the infamous Tuesday nights in Trash (T.I.T) and Destiny,Blanket, Cube, Tunnel and Glasgow's Carling Academy. He has DJ'd at Room at the Top in Bathgate, covered the Citi Club in Edinburgh, and provided outstanding performances throuhgout various clubs in Dundee.
In 2003, Bobby was approached by Scotlands only Asian Radio Station, Awaz FM, to host a DJ show. Over the last 4 years, he presented a Bhangra/R'n'B/UrbAsian show, with studio visitors such as B21 and Jay Sean.
In 2008, Bobby created 'Gtown Desi', a group of the north's finest Dj's, MC's, lyrists, producers and musicians - all with the same goal of developing and nuturing the Urban Asian Music scene in Scotland. Gtown Desi are presently collaborating on an album, which is due for release in Summe 2009 on VIP Records Ltd
As of now, Bobby resides between London and Glasgow, furthering his musical career and overall aspirations. His initial offering within his new found area included a brand new radio show via the UK’s freshest UrbAsian station, Asian FX. Along with some of UK's undercover Asian nights, named "Secrets"....
2009 will see the release of his debut album, "1134" - watch this space for exclusives on the album and forthcoming videos...
On a personal note....
"The element of being able to control the mood of a crowd and whip them into a frenzy when playing the latest hot jams or old skool classics is phenomenal. Any dj can play a fixed set every week with little or no alteration to the playlist, but it takes a skilled DJ to adapt to different crowds and different nights as no two nights or two crowds are ever the same. DJ'ing for me is all about educating the crowd, entertaining the crowd and giving them what they want." - DJ Bobby B
