It all started around 1986 when Nigel aka Whiplash bought Run D.M.C's new album "Raising Hell". Once hearing Jam Master Jay, one of the most compelling turntablists hip-hop has ever seen, Nigel wanted to do the same. But at the age of 11, he lacked the supplies needed to begin practicing; only having a double take deck to use.

Many years later, Whiplash started to take that childhood dream of spinning wax and make it a huge part of his life. In early 2002 Whiplash was able to get his first set of tables and a mixer. He spent many hours trying to perfect his craft from the confines of his room. Practicing every day after work and most of his weekends, Whiplash began to turn this "DJ thing", as most called it, into a lifestyle.

In late 2002, Whiplash came across the school that his childhood DJ hero, Jam Master Jay, had created; the Scratch DJ Academy in NYC. There, Whiplash was able to hone his turntablist skills of mixing, blending and scratching. After spending many weekends and some weekdays at Scratch; Whiplash was asked to be a Teacher's Assistant (TA) at the school. Excited to help, Whiplash agreed to become a part of this amazing school in New York's East Village. The thrill of being able to help instruct students alongside DJs great as Grandwizzard Theodore, Luv Bug Starski, and Grandmaster Caz was amazing. Whiplash was also given the opportunity to work with former ITF and DMC World champ I.Emerge, as well as Jahi Sundance, Max Glazer and the Turntable Twins; Damage & Verge 24/7 which has proven to be a very rewarding experience for him.

Currently Whiplash is a member of the Coast2Coast DJs, and can be found rocking clubs & private parties in the Houston area. Whiplash recently became the newest member DJ of the "Untouchables Radio" team headed up by Baby Paul (A.K.A. BpZy) of the world famous production crew, Da Beatminerz. Untouchables Radio airs every Friday night 8p-10pm Eastern on iTunes Radio & http://Coast2Coast.fm. Catch him in the mix!

Whiplash is also affiliated with 2520NYC clothing company which he met back in 2009. 2520's team supports Whiplash by hosting his mixtapes on their site (2520NYC.com) as well as with any future projects the two powerhouses may plan. The company has created a "DJ Whiplash" t-shirt which helps him promote both himself & 2520 clothing at his gigs. Whiplash also hosts a very successful mixtape monthly series called "Whiplash Radio" that is broadcasted via PodOmatic (http://djwhiplash.podomatic.com) & iTunes.
