"Tall and articulate, DJ iShine is the clean-cut kid that can tuck his T-shirt into his jeans while holding the heavy hip-hop confidence of Kanye as he mixes beats."- K.Kettering of Ohio University's "The Post"
DJ iShine is a "Neo-Soul/R&B artist". with a motive to "Expand those narrow so-called Black radio parameters."- A Family Member
Born Chris I. Summers, DJ iShine has grown up loving music ever since he had the ability to hear. His Mother being of Carribean Residency brought him influence via international music (reggae, dancehall, soca) and his Father coming from New York had an interest in collecting Motown and Jazz records with his uncles.
Summers and his brother attended a small private elementary school in which they were supposed to play an instrument in the school band. Summers played the trumpet throughout elementary and high school. In high school, Summers began to hone his craft even more as he began to study and research music production and teaching himself piano and bass guitar. In 2006, Summers became a music producer and produced projects in high school and as he currently attends Ohio University, Summers made the transition to a professional music producer with an artistry as a R&B/Neo Soul DJ. Working along with fellow peers Je'an P and DC da King of Hearts, and dropping albums such as Suite 11, Summers will continue to show the world his "1Side to Music"
Summers has cited his main musical influences on his production are Timbaland, Bryan Michael Cox, Pharrell, Dr. Dre, No ID, DarkChild, and ultimately Kanye West; and on his artistry are Michael Jackson, Tevin Campbell, Keith Sweat, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Al B Sure, After 7, Dru Hill, Usher, BoyZ 2 Men, Daft Punk and Ginuwine.
It has been a long and continuous road for DJ iShine, but keeping faith and talent first, he plans to do great things with his career.
