I got started djing using a basic laptop back in the fall of 2006. I enjoyed doing it so in the winter of 2006 I hit up DJ Dublee to learn how to use turntables and cd players. He took me under his wing teaching me what he knew and eventually I bought his equipment in May 2007 when he upgraded.
In May 2007, I also graduated from UMBC with a B.S. in Computer Science. In the Fall of 2007 I started working on my M.S. in Computer Science at NC STATE.
Currently I am the Underground Music Director at WKNC 88.1 FM and record a bi weekly podcast called the Hip Hop Sessions. It available to download at http://djnominal.podomatic.com
I am also the current DJ for Wordsmiths Revolt Radio which airs every week on Wednesdays from 8pm to 9pm and can be downloaded at http://wordsmith.podomatic.com
Lastly I have a mix show on 88.1 WKNC FM every Wednesday night at 11:59 pm. If you arent in the Durham/Raleigh area you can listen up at
All Up and Coming Artists email me your radio edited tracks at

Types of music
Music I spin ranges from hip hop, go go, and r&b to reggae, dancehall, and a lil bit of everything else.
N/P man. I'm diggin that. A lot of kats nowadays don't even know who A Tribe Called Quest is and that just makes me smh. The stuff your doing is bringing together fans of MJ, & 90's fans of ATCQ and bringing it with a flavor for the kids now. Thats connecting 3 demographics right there for 1 cause. The love of music. Got nothing but respecdt for that.
I was listening to one of your podcast and you said if we had music you could play it on your show. What is the process for an artist trying to do that?
Appreciate the add DJ Nominal. I'm diggin that "They don't really care about Bonita." I'm a big fan of ATCQ and you blending in Mike Jacson on there was a dopE concept.
If you ever get a chance check out my song "Omaricisms." Got a mixtapE droppin ( "Through my EyEz") and just tryna get feedback (good and bad).
