The room begins to shake. It starts as a low vibration and builds. Something big is coming as the floor emits quiet anticipation. In the midst of the crowd sits a strange sort of silence. And then an ear-shattering, slightly defiant yell fills the void, otsteps and thus began the Kid Capri bandwagon.

Currently, there is no DJ on Earth more recognizable to both hip-hop heads and the general public, largely due to Kids media savvyness. His face first became a part of the cultural landscape on the wildly popular Russel Simmons Def Comedy Jam where he gave much of the world its first taste of live-performance hip hop, as the first DJ to ever perform live on TV as a DJ. From that, Kid became the most heavily demanded entertainment personality by many of the industries most respected and successful performers. Kid has toured extensively with multi-platinum artists such as Sean P. Diddy Combs, L.L. Cool J, Busta Rhymes, Foxy Brown, NAS, Lil Kim, Mase, Jay-Z, Usher, R-Kelly, Mary J. Blige, Dru Hill, Ginuwine and Aaliyah, in shows like the 1998 Puff Daddy and the Family Tour.

However, beyond the show stopping performer aspect of Kid, sits another side of him, the meticulous studio-scientist working behind the scenes to lend that extra wisdom to some of hip hops hottest, turned classic records. He revels in the challenge of the ever-changing nature that defines the world of rap music. Prime examples of Kids versatility are his production credits. He has produced music for power players like Foxy Brown, The Lox, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Heavy D, KRS-ONE, Slick Rick, Mary J. Blige, Busta Rhymes, The Lost Boys, Brand Nubian, Camron, Noreaga, Big Pun, Da Ranjahz, Big L and Jermaine Dupri. He participated in national campaigns for Nike, Sprite, Bud Light, Pilot Pens, Lugz Clothing, Fubu Clothing and Diadora footwear.

As for the future, Kid is expanding on his formula for success. The latest artist signed to Kid Capri’s label NO KIDN Records is Bronx native Budda Early. His first single, Do Somethin (produced by Kid) can be heard daily on HOT 97 in New York and is also featured on Funkmaster Flex’s new album to be released on December 13, 2005. In the works right now is The Kid Capri DVD entitled The Craziest Kid soon to be available in stores world wide, which catches the beat-smith himself, off-guard in his own element.

The impact Kid Capri has had, and will continue to have, is immeasurable. There is a steadily increasing demand by many of the industry’s top performers for Kids guidance and expertise. He is continually touring, selling out shows in 10,000 seat arenas and balancing his heavy schedule with his favorite and most demanding job: fatherhood. Kid has also been the guest host for popular shows such as MTVs, "Beat Suite," and BET's "Tigga in the Basement." He was featured in the July 2000 issue of GQ Magazine, and was also featured as the DJ/announcer for the 2000 Source Awards. A few years later Kid delivered an astonishing performance at the 2003 BET Awards. Martha Stewart herself made a personal request for Kid Capri to spin at her Christmas party. 'N SYNC's followed in her footsteps requesting Kid for their own, private, holiday party. During the following months he spun for the 2003 TJ Martell Foundation Gala alongside Michelle Branch, Mary J. Blige, Mya and Liz Phair. In 2004 Kid Capri appeared on VH1 Hip Hop Honors alongside Kid Rock and Grand Master Flash as they paid tribute to DJ Kool Herc. This year he will return to the 2005 VH1 Hip Hop Honors to pay tribute to Grand Master Flash. In August 2005, per Diddy's request, Kid Capri performed at his official after party for the MTV Video Music Awards.

Kid has far exceeded the expectations of his peers, critics and fans. His love for and careful nurturing of his immense talents has enabled him to represent the music industry in general, but Hip-Hop music in particular, with class and individuality and intensity unmatched in the music industry.
