This breakbeat DJ began listening to dance music as a child. The oldest offspring of a pair of OLD school club heads, Shifty has been in or near the club scene since before he was old enough to attend events. At the age of 19, a friend gave him a set of old belt drive turntables and a few records to practice with. What followed can only be described as a match made in heaven. Eventually choosing the name Shifty, not because of his character, but based on the definition... Shifty means tricky or resourceful, and it is evident in his work for those that have seen him play live

Shifty has been rocking dancefloors since he first popped into the public eye at the Dallas Music Festival in February of 2005. At this point, he had been a bedroom DJ for 11 years, honing his skills at house parties all over Dallas. Luckily, he was heard by a booking agent at one such party, and asked to perform at the festival there on the spot. Shifty has played at several venues in and around Dallas for the last 2 years, With mixes and links being hosted on websites as far away as the UK, he is starting to make waves around the world.

Shifty joined with DJ's Psyckosis and Krisp-X of the Psyckodelic Force, and with the Abandon House Family during the Summer of 2006. This has opened even more doors. Now a resident of Phoenix, Arizona (and a member of the IBB DJ Camp) Shifty hopes to help spread the breakbeat vibe even further. Keep an eye out for this up and comer in your own hometowns soon. Thanks to everyone out there who has listened to me, and for all the feedback.
