DJ: Party Boy in a Nutshell:

DJ: Party Boy has been DJ since late 2000. His career actually started when he was in a small local rock band that changed from "Forsaken" to "Smile Empty Mind". He was the lead vocals and sound mixer for the band. Rob Bell was a producer/manager and helped Party Boy see his real talent with music. In 1999 the band broke up and Party Boy went into DJing. He stated "I like being a DJ because of the independence. You see I never have to rely on anyone except me. I am the band." Soon after Rob Bell started to introduce Party Boy to some of his future mentors, DJ: Icey, DJ: Baby Anne, and DJ: Sharaz. By late 2000 Party Boy was skilled enough to do his own gigs and with Bells reputation, Party Boy never had a weekend off from DJing small house parties. By 2002 Party Boy was doing gigs with Underground Productions, in there local nightclubs and soon after regional clubs. In 2003 he was entered into DJ WARZ ’03 (the biggest DJing competition of the year) and placed 15th single and 28th teamed. In 2004 he place 1st at DJ WARZ ’04 and won a scholarship to Fullsail’s Recording Program. Also in 04 Party Boy started to learn more about the recording part of the music industry. He was also offered countless contracts with various companies including “Royal Caribbean”, “ Carnival, “Infinity Productions”, etc. He chose to stay with Underground Productions and be sub-contracted to Infinity Productions. Also he started creating many albums, most of them live recordings. In 2005 he went down under and disappeared from DJing. By late 2006 he reappeared with a brand new album called “Breaking Out”, which was a major hit. Also in ’06 Party Boy announced his opening of his own productions company “Infinity Media Productions” with his slogan being “Unlimited Possibilities”. In 2007, Party Boy entered in DJ WARZ ’07 and came in 3rd place, which was a major disappointment to himself but fueled him to work even harder. Now he is currently traveling around the country doing outdoor raves (Bush Parties) and outdoor parties. The rest is in the making…
