DJ K-Swyft Mix by SaleemMusic published on 2011-10-17T15:19:09Z The son of Jamaican parents, DJ K-Swyft (a.k.a. The Bronx Blend King) was born in Brooklyn, New York on August 7, 1975 as Kemuel Johnson and received his first set of turntables at age 8. Born into a family of music lovers and musicians, it was inevitable for K-Swyft to dive into the art that he once considered a hobby. He was influenced by his older brothers (Rich and Negus) who were also DJs…. in addition to early New York hip-hop DJs such as Brucie B, DJ Red Alert, Mr. Magic, and Chuck Chillout. Upon moving from Brooklyn to the Bronx, K-Swyft started to perfect his craft with the help of neighborhood DJs in the BX such as DJ Solo, Mike Porter, and DJ Paul Smooth while growing up. He also looked up to DJs such as The Bounce Master DJ Doo Wop, DJ Ron G, DJ Dirty Harry, Action Pac, New Jersey’s DJ Juice, and DJ Funk Master Flex (just to name a few). K-Swyft is a child of the 1980’s and had the privilege to witness the birth of hip-hop while growing up in the Bronx. Genre hip-hop
