Background:
DJ Soulflower's involvement in the “NY Music Scene” dates back over a decade. Being a drummer since the age of 7, interest in all styles of music was not only natural, but a prerequisite. Soulflower started DJ’ing in high school. Playing hip-hop, reggae and freestyle for friends and various functions seemed to logically segue into exploration of New York City’s club and early rave scene. Working as a promoter for the now infamous Limelight and rave clubs like NASA and Caffeine, Soulflower was introduced to and became enamored with a new take on DJ’ing and adjusted his goals accordingly. His first higher profile gigs occurred in 1993, and led to him being an in demand house and rave DJ till the present. Working with various agents and promoters allowed him to travel the country while pursuing his passion.

Present:
Evolution. Incorporating all styles of music into his repertoire, Soulflower now plays large clubs as well as lounge environments with ease. He was one of the first generation of DJ’s at APT (http://www.aptwebsite.com) where he still spins on occasion. Currently you can find him at a number of downtown venues. All the while working on his own music productions.
