D-Malice is an exceptional talent and ambassador of the ever-evolving music scene. With many strings attached to his bow, the UK based DJ/Producer began DJ’ing at the tender age of 13, heavily influenced by the Old School Garage sound. Not restricted to one genre he tried his hand at Reggae, Hip Hop, R&B, Soul, Motown and other genres of the world, before finding his real passion for House. At the age of 17, he began producing, mainly Hip-Hop drawing influence from producers such as Pete Rock, J-Dilla, Madlib, MF Doom just to name a few.
