Born in Queens, New York, and raised in the DC/Maryland/Virginia (DMV) area, Speechless has made his way up to the top from nothing. Inspired by the sounds of Jam Master Jay, DJ Clue and other credited DJs, he knew music was his way of life. He loved listening to different beats of music and mixing them together to make a vibrant effect. When he scored a job working for XM Radio in DC, he had the pleasure of meeting Russell Simmons, who said these wise words, “The world is open to whatever you want it to be open too.” From then on Speechless made it his business to pursue his passion of hyping up crowds, pumping out phenomenal mixtapes, and working with talented artists, from coast to coast. “I deliver my talent when I perform on the turntables. I remember the 4th mixtape I dropped pushed at least 8000 local copies. Everyone was listening to it in their cars and people would ask when the next mixtape would be released; knowing that so many people enjoy your craft makes you strive that much more,” says Speechless. The DJ has always been selective with the artists he works with. “Talent isn’t what you make it, it’s a natural aptitude, and I collaborate with a lot of established and upcoming artists.” His ability to understand his crowd and generate playlists accordingly sets his style from other DJs. He spins what his clients like to hear. The rising DJ sets himself apart from the rest by putting extensive hours into his practice and never accepting less than the best from himself. “People get tired of the same songs all the time, they like a mixture of genres,” says Speechless. Speechless is currently part of the Cinematix DJ Squad, which has been flooding the streets with non-stop hit mixtapes for the past three years. He plans on accomplishing a world known name in the music industry. “When the crowd starts to hype up and point their fingers at me in excitement, I get a feeling of power; the power to feed ears, and it’s the most exhilarating feeling”—DJ Speechless
