It was just a short time prior to Hurricane Katrina when Quickie Mart came up in the smoke filled, late night bar scene of New Orleans. Since his relocation to Los Angeles, he has released a number of different mixtapes, distributed thousands of copies, and been featured on a number of other artists' projects. He has toured every corner of the country as a solo act, as well as with other acts like Galactic, iCON the Mic King, Q-Tip, The Cool Kids, Shwayze, The Knux, and Media Darling Records.
On top of a heavy tour schedule QM’s accolades also include playing large events like Vegoose, SXSW, and Zen Festival. He has been featured at twice at the prestigious New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, three years at Voodoo Music Festival, and four years in a row at Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival. He has shared stages with artists such as George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, Jurassic 5, RJD2, Fishbone, Lyrics Born, Joss Stone, Perry Farrell's Satellite Party, DJ Klever, Particle, Akon, Gift Of Gab, Lupe Fiasco, Inspektah Deck, and Lilly Allen. He has also had the honor of performing on stage with the legendary Mac “Dr. John” Rebennak. QM has been featured on numerous television programs including Current TV, MTV2, Louisiana’s famous Dew Drop Inn, and NBC’s Last Call with Carson Daly as Devin the Dude’s DJ.
This talented DJ/producer/engineer has produced countless tracks, including the song "Q & A" by the Lucky Stiffs, which was released on Scion's "Labeless Lifestyle" CD. Half a million copies were distributed worldwide. He has worked in the studio with artists like UPT/Universal's Juvenile, Anti/Epitaph's Galactic, Fatbeats' L.A.’s Finest, and Stone's Throw's Percee P.
After the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, the rest of the world recognized DJ Quickie Mart's hard work when he was featured in a three-page spread in URB Magazine’s December 2005 issue. He has also received mentions in Blender, Filter, XLR8R, and Offbeat magazines, and was hailed “New Orleans’ Hip Hop Champion” by LA Weekly. In addition to consistently recording and touring, he holds down a successful weekly in Los Angeles at the Air Conditioned Supper Club. QM also serves as the official DJ for Los Angeles based group L.A.'s Finest, and as the tour DJ for acts like iCON the Mic King, Know One, and The Knux.
After accomplishing so much in such a short amount of time, it's easy to see why Quickie Mart has attracted so many people to his musical talents - and even easier to expect much more from him in the future.
