Within days of arriving here back in 1994 the break dancing Sicari was hired by Proof to boogie at Maurice Malone’s Hip-Hop Shop. Sicari hung out there with up-and-coming stars like Jay Dee, Eminem, D12 and Slum Village. Eminem’s DJ Head taught him how to rock the turntables. Since, Sicari has won more than a few DJ battles and spins for break-dancing troupe Hardcore Detroit. Then Sicari split Detroit for a few years, landing in San Francisco, San Diego and Hawaii. Along the way he earned a master’s degree in Public Administration at Kentucky State in 2002. He came back to Detroit in 2002 for a DJ battle at Hart Plaza and stumbled upon an opening at the Detroit Hispanic Development Center as an HIV counselor. He realized he could use hip hop to reach out to kids in Southwest Detroit. Sicari has gone on to become a Youth Program Coordinator at the DHDC, which provides after-school classes in video and music production, graphic arts-design, DJ and break-dancing classes and youth entrepreneurship. While readying his new mix CD, No Doz Mix Tape, Sicari has been busy writing grant proposals and working on a project with the University of Michigan to reduce the higher rates of coronary disease in the city. “DJing is a tool to connect with people. I want to use hip hop to change and save lives. That’s my mission in life.” Sicari is a student of all Hip-Hop elements that loves using the culture to break barriers. I also rock clubs and parties, so I'm not just a bedroom or basement DJ. I eat, sleep, live and love music. Educate people on the beauty of your culture, and they'll appreciate it...Open Minds...Open Hearts. Sicari recently opened an art gallery entitled Elements. It's purpose is to serve as a resource for progressive media heads, of all genres, to use to express their respeceive talents, and artistic accomplishments to the city of Detroit. "I look at Elements as an opportunity for me to give back to all of those who are dedicated to mastering their art." - written by Doug Combe and Sicari Click ILOVEDETROIT to buy my CD.
