DJ Slash began his career as a turntable specialist in 1983, spinning House, Dance, early Hip-Hop, and various other genres on 12-inch vinyl. An avid concert promoter throughout Northwest Indiana, he was also a founding member of the Bomb Squad DJs.

In the early 90s, DJ Slash shifted gears to become a premier graphic designer for the music industry.

Beyond the booth, DJ Slash is an active event organizer, including Fusic Fest, Salsa in the Park, and the Rhythm and Soul Fest in East Chicago.
