house beat or a top40 mashup, Kray-Z-K can fill the room with sounds
from amongst the hottest House, Electro, Dubstep,
Mashups, Throwbacks, Top40, Hip-Hop and more. As put, "It's not just
the songs that create the vibe, but it's how their mixed, along with
giving the crowd a performance as well!" -Kray-Z-K
Throughout his upbringing, Kray-Z-K was surrounded with many musical
influences giving credit mostly to his parents. “My mother listened to groups like Fleetwood Mac, Sting, and Rod Stewart and my father listened to Van Halen, Tom Petty, and Jefferson Airplane.
I loved it, all of it, and still do to this day! I loved my dads taste
more than anything. Something about the guitar riffs got me hooked, I
just wanted to blend them together and create new mixes.” By the age of
14 years old, with a bedroom full of dj equipment
and music, Kray-Z-K met the resident DJ at the local club by the name
of DJ Craig E-C. From there Kray-Z-K quickly developed the skills
required to perform live and gained the knowledge necessary to work as a
professional DJ. After a year of dj'ing ritually every day in his
bedroom and at the club with Craig-E-C, Kray-Z-K landed a guest spot at Hollywood’s famous Club Avalon, formerly The Palace. "From here I was instantly hooked. The rush I got from the crowd and how comfortable I was despite my
nervousness…and this is considered a job? Im in!" Kray-Z-K continued pursuing his dream while soon relocating to San Diego in late 2001.
In 2003, Kray-Z-K was signed to Balliztic, performing throughout California with groups like King Spade, Afroman, and Kotton Mouth Kings to include shows at Hollywood's Whisky A Go Go and various shows throughout Los Angeles and Santa Barbara.
In 2006, Kray-Z-K landed residency positions at Club Michaels and Club
Altitude in San Diego California. Kray-Z-K said, “This is when I knew I
wanted to DJ for a living, dj'ing 4 nights a week was not enough.” Since
then, DJ Kray-Z-K has held residencies and guest spots at many well
known venues throughout the United States from "The Pool" in Atlantic
City to "Rok Nightclub" at New York New York Las Vegas. With his
persistent mindset and his outgoing personality he continues to rock
venues and nightclubs across the US.
In early 2009, Kray-Z-K created and
established a local FM radio station, Energy 89.1, to supply San Diego State University residents
with his own flavor of house music. One year later he established
"Audio Contact", a weekly edition of his newest mixes. Kray-Z-K

He has been featured in publications such as GQ Magazine and Hollywood's Runway Magazine and is currently ranked number 4 locally on www.reverbnation.com/djkrayzk. Looking back over the years, DJ Kray-Z-K states, “I
can’t say how much dj'ing has taught me on a personal and professional
level. I will always DJ. I plan to take it to another level in upcoming
months when I
start producing my own twist of events and eventually open a DJ school.
This will definitely test my skills as I teach others the art and
continue to book shows both nationally and globally. This is my love, my
passion, my dream, and most of all, what I feel I was born to do.”
