DJ edROC's Bio
DJ edROC, originally known as DJ Skratch & Sniff, began his DJ career at the tender age of 13 back in the early 90's. What initially began as a hobby after picking up a pair of belt driven turntables and a 4-channel mixer from Radio Shack, ultimately turned into a lifestyle. edROC was spinning for house parties and undergrounds practically every weekend. All of his earnings were spent at the local record shops, and any free time edROC had was spent in his makeshift studio located in the garage of his parent’s southern San Diego home. There edROC worked on mastering his craft and studying his influences, which included Q-Bert, Mixmaster Mike, The Skratch Piklz, The World Famous Beat Junkies, The X-ecutioners, Rectangle, Rags, Style (aka Question), Slyed, Small Wonder, and many more DJ’s from that era.
Determined to take his craft to a higher echelon, edROC pursued a professional DJ career in 2005. Shortly after, he picked up his first residency at the legendary Landlord Jim’s alongside San Diego icon, Jay Dread. Before long, edROC was spinning at various bars and clubs throughout the greater San Diego Area, and even landed a residency with Victory Media Group whose venues included Onyx/Thin, Prospect, Heat, Sway, Confidential, and the world renowned House of Blues.
In 2009, edROC took his talent on the road to Las Vegas, Nevada, where he was given the opportunity to DJ alongside famed artist, producer, and So So Def Recordings C.E.O., Jermaine Dupri. Other notable performances include opening for the Beat Freaks (America’s Best Dance Crew), sharing the stage with DJ Neil Armstrong (5th Platoon and former tour DJ for Jay-Z), and rocking comedian JoKoy’s (Chelsea Lately) after show party. edROC has also had the opportunity to work with global brands such as Nike, Vans, MTV, Hennessey, Belvedere, and Svedka; as well as prominent companies like The San Diego Reader, Crooks & Castles, Hellz Bellz, 722, 5&A Dime, Blends, The Armory, Lovewright, Acrylick, 9Five, Product Etcetera, and many more.
edROC would have never thought his passion for an art form, which began as a hobby, would become such a lucrative career. He has had the great fortune to do what he loves in many of the major clubs in San Diego, rocking stages for thousands of party goers, and traveling to DJ in major cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Jose, and Las Vegas. With over 18 years of experience under his belt and a vast musical repertoire, edROC is guaranteed to please any crowd.
