DJ, producer and remix artist, DJ Dynamixx, 33 years old, was born in Michigan and raised in D.C. before finding his way to Las Vegas in 1991. A professional BMX freestyle performer, Dynamixx first took to the turntables in 1993, and has since earned a reputation as a skillful vinyl jockey, inside and out of the clubs. Over the course of his career, Dynamixx has played at some of Vegas’ top night spots, including Studio 54, House of Blues and C2K Sky Bar, and has taken his talents to the recording studio. In 2001 Dynamixx released “The Art of the Medley” on vinyl and in 2005 followed it up “The Remixxes,” which was also released on CD in 2006. Now a full time DJ and producer, Dynamixx has also worked on various commercials including an AT&T ad starring the red headed comic Carrot Top.
