DJ Kid Nu

When you say the name Kid Nu think of an entrepreneur in every aspect of the word. Kid Nu always had an ear for music. While growing up in the South Bronx , he watched DJ’s like Tricky D, DJ Speedy & crews like TR Nation mixing and scratching in Melrose and Jackson Park. That’s when he knew he wanted to be a DJ. He started experimenting with his friend TB on his school’s turntables. After mastering the art DJing for local parties for friends and family, he earned the money that helped buy his first turntables. After making a name for himself, he formed a crew named “The Tape Master Crew”, which consisted of DJ Mike Neeze, Ed, and DJ T Smooth. His first big gig was for Zestland Records at Club 371 in the Bronx, where he met Chief Rocker Star Child and Ron G. Eventually he earned a weekly spot there. Promoters that frequented the club started requesting for him to DJ at their events. One party that stands out is a gig E-Kim set up for him to DJ along side DJ Coco Chanel from Hot 97 to tour out of the country.

After years of hard work and building his rep as a DJ he felt his work was worth more than the promoters were willing to pay. He then decided to work behind the scenes. He started promoting his own parties and making beats for upcoming artists. He also started his own label “Rich Kids Records”. Eventually, he put his label on hold to become Director of Promotions and Public Relations for Kid-Capri’s sneakers KC Steppa by Diadora. Kid Capri and D-Roc took a liking to him and his work and he’s been touring with them since.
