A prodigy in the world of scratch music, DJ I-Dee, also known as Isaac DeLima, is constantly searching for new and innovative ways to take turntablism and genre-crossing to the next level. Growing up in the suburbs of Washington DC, I-Dee began his career in the mid nineties at the tender age of 10. Beginning battling in 2002, I-Dee won numerous regional titles up and down the East Coast which sparked ears to open as he was slowly beginning to become a force to be reckoned with.
Ultimately, he solidified his name in 2006, at the age of 19, by winning the DMC USA, Scribble Jam and Gong World Supremacy titles in 6 months. No other DJ has accomplished such a remarkable act within a short period of time. With nothing else to prove, he was ready to leave behind the battle scene and elevate his DJ career to a new level.
Within the past 3 years, he has performed his signature sets around the world in places such as England, Czech Republic, South America, Taiwan and China. Without a doubt, he consistently amazes crowds at world renowned venues such as New York's Central Park Summerstage, Miami's Studio A, UK's Hammerstein Palais, London's Bar Rumba, Prague's Roxy, Shanghai's BonBon, Beijing's Club Mix, Taipei's Luxy, Taichung's Xaga, Baltimore's Ft. Armistead Park (Starscape), D.C.'s Nation Club, San Francisco's Great American Music Hall, Las Vegas and Atlantic City's House of Blues, and NYC's famous S.O.B.'s. Most notably, he has shared the stage alongside artists such as Lady Sovereign, Fat Joe, 3 Doors Down, Jean Grae and Pete Rock.
He has captivated the international press and television media being spotlighted in Scratch Magazine, Remix Magazine, XXL Magazine, The Source Magazine, URB Magazine, Teen Vogue Magazine, MTV United Kingdom, The Miami Herald, The Washington Post, Fox Sports Net, Telemundo, Univision, Okayplayer.com, The Associated Press, Ortofon DJ News Magazine and Hip-Hop Connection UK Magazine. Most recently, he was featured on the front cover of the Miami New Times. Now at age 21, he is set to release his debut album and begin a new chapter in his illustrious career.
