Just Blaze – The Latest Serato Icon

Just Blaze is an artist who evolves. He has seamlessly blended his career as one of Hip Hop’s most influential producers with his ongoing career as a DJ, which in 2014, is stronger than ever. His ability to adapt and his hunger to experience and take advantage of what’s new, have kept Just Blaze at the cutting edge of music. We caught up with him at his Rebel Base studio in NYC to see what makes him tick.

As with most musically minded individuals, he grew up immersed in sounds and culture, which are just as much a part of him today, as they were back then.

“I had a really interesting musical upbringing. I was always destroying my mother’s records trying to scratch them and I didn’t understand the concept of DJing or anything like that. I just knew that one record had music, one record had vocals and somehow they could work together.”
