Artist description BIO TORONTO, DJ - PRODUCER - REMIXER 'ROB DA BOOM' BEGAN HIS JOURNEY INTO THE WORLD OF HOUSE MUSIC AT THE EARLY AGE OF 13 AND HAS SINCE GONE ON TO DEVELOP HIS RELENTLESS SESSIONS, DRIPPING WAX ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND BEYOND. AFTER PLAYING AT HOUSE PARTIES AND SMALL ONE OFF EVENTS HE BEGAN AS THE MIX-SHOW COORDINATOR ASSISTANT AT CHRY 105.5 FM, WHICH QUICKLY TURNED INTO A REGULAR MIX-SHOW SPOT EVERY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. MOVING ONWARD AND UPWARD HE LANDED THE PRIME MIX-SHOW SLOT OF FRIDAY NIGHTS FROM 2AM TILL 7AM. IT WAS CALLED THE RAW ENERGY EXPERIENCE AND AT THE TIME HE WAS ONLY 16. HE SPENT THE NEXT 3 YEARS EXPERIMENTING WITH HIP HOP, THEN REGGAE, THEN INTRODUCING TORONTO'S AIR WAVES TO THE SOUND OF JUNGLE, ALL THE WHILE GROWING INTO HARDER, MORE PROGRESSIVE TECHNO SETS BUT IN THE END HE ALWAYS STAYED TRUE TO HOUSE. AS A RESPECTED DJ WITH A LOYAL FOLLOWING, DA BOOM SOON FOUND HIMSELF INSTRUMENTAL TO THE GROWING RAVE SCENE IN TORONTO. AT THIS POINT, IT SEEMED NATURAL FOR HIM TO EVOLVE INTO PRODUCING. CROSSING OVER WAS DONE WITH EASE FOR DABOOM AS HE INSTANTLY FOUND HIS TRUE PASSION AND TALENT IN PRODUCING. AT FIRST HE DABBLED IN THE TRIBAL HOUSE SOUND AND THEN TEAMED UP WITH A LOCAL GROUP TO FORM OWC. WHILE WITH OWC HIS PRODUCTIONS MAINLY FOCUSED ON THE BIG BREAK BEAT SOUNDS OF THE UK. HE GREW TIRED OF THE REPETATIVE BREAKS AND LEFT OWC TO WORK ON A VERY DIFFERENT SOUND. HAVING THE ABILITY TO REDEFINE HIS STYLE HAS EARNED HIM THE REPUTATION OF AN INNOVATIVE CREATOR. BY THIS TIME HE WAS AN ESTABLISHED DJ PLAYING AT VARIOS CLUBS AND RAVES THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND SURROUNDING AREAS. HE HAD TEAMED UP WITH CHRISTIAN DIO AND STARTED PLAYING A BRAND NEW CLUB CALLED AMNESIA PLAYING LIVE TO AIR ON HOT 103.5FM UNDER THE GUISE OF SOLA POWER DA BOOM RELEASED HIS FIRST 12" GOT TO BE SOLID ON HI TIME RECORDS. THE SONG RECIEVED MID TO HIGH ROTATION ON VARIOUS RADIO STATIONS AND SOON, HE BEGAN WORKING ON MORE UNDERGROUND MUSIC. HE ALSO BEGAN PLAYING SMALL EVENTS IN AMERICA AND OVERSEAS IN EUROPE. AS TIME PASSED THE SMALL EVENTS GREW TO LARGE EVENTS AND HE SOON FOUND HIMSELF PLAYING ALONG SIDE THE LIKES OF VICTOR CALDERONE, MASTERS AT WORK, CARL COX, JOEY BELTRAM, ERIC MORILLO, GREEN VELVET, JAZZY JEFF, FRANKIE BONES, PLANET SOUL, EMINEM, BIG DADDY KANE, NAS, HARRY CHO CHO ROMERO, BKNY AND MANY OTHERS. HE HAS PLAYED AT EVERY SUMMER'S END FESTIVAL TO DATE AND MANY LARGE SCALE EVENTS IN FRONT OF CROWDS IN EXCESS OF 11,000 PEOPLE. CURRENTLY DA BOOM IS WORKING ON A VARIETY OF PROJECTS INCLUDING REMIX WORK FOR BKNY ON IRONIC RECORDINGS AND PETER PRESTA ON APPLE JAXX. HE OUTSIDE OF HIS PRODUCTION WORK, DA BOOM IS TOURING EXTENSIVELY BOTH AT HOME AND ABROAD AS WELL AS HOLDING RESIDENCIES AT WHISKEY SAIGON, TURBO AND POWDER NIGHTCLUB AND HOSTING RADIO SHOWS ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHTS ON THE GLOBAL GROOVE NETWORK 100.7FM A RECORD ON A TURNTABLE ROTATES 33.5 TIMES PER MINUTE.
