=============================
While the art of turntablism continues to please audiences across the world, it goes without saying that DJ Dopey has played an integral part in its global success. Having performed as a DJ/Turntablist alongside pioneers like DJ Q-Bert, DJ Craze, DJ Jazzy Jeff and Mix Master Mike, Dopey solidified his role amongst these innovative DJ’s formally by winning the most coveted DJ title of them all, he became 2003’s WORLD DMC CHAMPION. In addition to his World DMC win he is no stranger to the world DJ battle circuit. His other 1st place titles include 2001 Allies All Star Beatdown Champion as well as 2002/2003 Vestax Canadian Champion among others.
As a founding member of the Turntable Monkz, and now a certified world champion, DJ Dopey took the opportunity to tour the world a few times over sharing stages with artists such as Eminem, Madlib, Slum Village, Frank N Dank, Kardinal Offishall, and Gang Starr. He continues his globetrotting by carrying out his seasoned successes as a key group member of Notes to Self. As one of Canada’s premiere talents, DJ Dopey has also collaborated and has contributed to other projects with artists such as Saukrates, Choclair and DCS.
In his 10 years as a DJ/Turntablist, Dopey has accomplished a great deal; he has “battled” his way to the top!!!
