There are many DJ’s throughout the world with immense talent and an individual style, yet there are few like the UK’s very own DJ AMES.
Born in Rotherham, South Yorkshire back in 1983 it was not until DJ AMES reached the age of 18 he decided to try his hand at the craft of being a DJ.
He started attending Music classes where local Kids could go to learn more about music techniques, the craft behind making a good track but best of all where they could learn the skills to become a DJ!
Within 3 month he had built a collection of vinyl any serious DJ would envy and had performed at local council run events in his area.
Unfortunately within a year of DJ AMES using the facilities at the local Music classes the centre was closed down. This put him right back to where he started yet still with the ambition to succeed.
By 2005 the vinyl collection was firmly back out and AMES began mixing demo’s for his friends, created an account with myspace.com and the rest as they say is history.
By early 2006 DJ AMES had released his first CD titled “Raw Talent volume 1” the CD featured tracks from talented artists throughout the UK with a strong Hip Hop, Grime and R’n’B theme.
Over the year he used the resources available to him to his best advantage, gaining links within the Music industry in the UK and the USA.
To date DJ AMES has worked with the likes of Flipmode Squad, Grand Hustle/P$C, Aphilliates Embassy ENT (AMG) and has more than 200+ mix-tape releases to his name.
His Mix-tapes feature a varied blend of talented artists within the UK and the USA. With the genre’s including everything from the grittiest UK Grime to the Southern style American Hip Hop.
DJ AMES has endured trials and tribulations to build a name and a career as a DJ within Hip Hop and giving up has never been an option.
With his 2nd album released in summer 2007 DJ Ames made sure that his name would no grow within the music industry and do whatever it took to do that.
With 2008 starting off well for DJ Ames it gave him the chance to travel to ATL to work with the Aphilliates music group and help support there UK movement as well as help his name grow within the south of the US. With 2008 half way through DJ Ames managed to earn his biggest accomplishment to date and that was get himself nominated at the Southern Entertainment Awards (SEA’s) which is a US dominated event and is a big accomplishment for any DJ across the water to break through.
With 2009 just beginning DJ Ames has already started off the year in a big way. His series of UK mixtapes are receiving good feedback. He is also featured in the March / April edition of Hip Hop Connection Magazine. Expect to see DJ Ames at various Events and clubs around the UK this year
In March 2009 DJ Ames became the first UK DJ to win a Southern Entertainment Award (SEA) in the ‘Best Host On A Mixtape’ category. DJ Ames has also made appearances in Street Report Magazine and also the 4th annual DJ issue of O-Zone magazine. DJ Ames was also recently nominated once again at the 2010 SEA Awards in the ‘Impact DJ Of The Year’ category.
The only real question is what is next for DJ
