about Hyphen...
I’m a hip-hop and R&B DJ from Seattle, and I’ve been mixing for a few years now. I started by doing college and house parties, and have done a few club nights since. I also DJ’d for a dope underground hip-hop group in Los Angeles, Inverse, be on the lookout for them. While down in L.A. for school (Pomona-Pitzer, I see you), I was the hip-hop director for my college station, KSPC, and hosted a few shows every year I was there (“Beats, Rhymes, and Life” was my solo show, and I co-hosted “The Downlow” w/Kevin Sakoda…one of the longest running radio shows in Cali). Nowadays, I’m up in Seattle where I work for the big hip-hop and R&B radio station, KUBE 93.3 FM, put out mixtapes, and DJ some clubs every now and then. I co-host a show on KUBE, “Sunday Night Sound Session,” every Sunday night at 11PM. We play breaking music from artists who aren’t getting spins elsewhere, both local and nationally…nothing but DOPE music you probably haven’t heard yet. It’s the only outlet for underground hip-hop on KUBE. As for my mixtapes, they are available in local record stores around the city and I also sell them online all over the world…don’t sleep, they’re dope.
