DAMYJA
Raised from the streets, Damyja first heard Drum ‘n’ Bass at the age of 14 and was instantly addicted.
He started out his career at the age of 15 as an MC, using his nickname, Tigga. Before long he was playing at some local Toronto clubs such as Stardust, club 240, Waterfalls and eventually moved on to some bigger parties such as Big Buds 5th year anniversary, UMF, and Wemfs renegade stages. By the age of 16, he bought his first set of turntables and began learning to beat match on his own. When Damyja turned 21, he got himself off the street, and bought his first computer with which he is now creating his own beats. Some call him Capital J’s protege for his infamous remixes such as; Special Dedication Rmx, Cold as Ice, Junglists Delight, and Old Skool Lik. Damyja, now 28 years old, has profoundly impacted the drum n bass scene through club weeklies under his own label; Darksyde Productions + Sound Soldier Entertainment, raising money for Free the Children: a non-profit organization dedicated to building schools in poverty stricken countries, and raising food for the local Toronto Food Banks. What makes Dj Damyja so significant is his wide variety of tune selection ranging from old school classic ragga, drum n bass, to new school jump up! Damyja always has the crowd throwing their hands up, leaving them begging for more!!!
