Entering into Hip-Hop at the ripe age of 6, by the
age of 12, aka Subliminal began to experiment with his
tape and record players in an effort to create mix tapes
that he enjoyed. As this experiment progressed he became
overwhelmed by the music and the new sounds he could
create. When the beats he was using weren’t enough,
he began to create new sounds with his voice, thus creating
the first inkling of aka Subliminal. At this time he
began to enter talent shows around the Metro Toronto
Area, and was winner of many shows in the DJ, beat-boxing
and freestyle fields. It was at this point that he decided
to take his skills and use them for public performances.
In 1998 aka Subliminal toured Canada and Western Europe
as well as performed the 1999 Much Music Video Awards
and opened for such recording artists as Mos Def, D12,
Arrested Development and Jagged Edge to name a few.

shows. Before the performance begins, he whips the crowd
into a frenzy with his tight mixes and incredible energy.

of popular artists, beat-boxing and turntable tricks
that always leaves the crowd in awe.
