Real
Name: Nino Brown
Quick, think of an Australian Hip-Hop and RnB DJ.
Since picking up his first record almost fifteen years ago, Nino Brown has
built up a solid fan base regularly touring around Australia and
internationally. He has released successful CDs, holds weekly residencies
at the country's biggest clubs and is a founding member of the
internationally respected DJ crew, The Chief Rockers.
It says a lot about Nino Brown that he decided to start The Chief Rockers.
"There are two types of DJs in the world today," he says.
"Turntablists,
and those who rock parties and clubs - The Chief Rockers are a unique
combination of both." Six of the world's top Hip-Hop DJs from around the
world, including Brown, Samrai, DJ Naiki from Japan and DJ Shortee Blitz
& DJ Pogo from England, make up the crew with one common ingredient
- they all know how to get a joint jumping.
Especially Nino Brown. As Australia's top Hip-Hop and RnB DJ, Brown has
the ability to rock a crowd with his track selection and amaze them with
his skill at the same time. Brown's music is heard every week at his two
residencies - RnB Superclub at Home Nightclub that regularly pulls in
thousands of people every week and Mothership at Cave, Australia's biggest
dedicated RnB and Hip-Hop club. In his long career, he has also supported
and played with so many top urban artists it almost reads like a greatest
hits album - Snoop Dogg, Ashanti, Ja Rule, Gangstarr, P Diddy, Naughty
by Nature, and Fatman Scoop to name a few.
With sponsorships from blue-chip companies like Motorola, Ecko
Clothing and Ortofon, it's not just the punters on the dancefloor who
appreciate his music. And as a competitor and judge at the Australian DMC
Championships since 1998, Brown is well respected in the industry for
keeping his finger on the musical pulse of the country.
In 2002, Brown made Australian Hip-Hop history by becoming the first
urban DJ to sign to a major record label. Later that year, he released
'Blazin'' on Universal Music and a phenomenon was born. To date, 'Blazin''
has sold over 30,000 copies in Australia and is one of the country's best
selling local urban releases ever. The follow-up album, 'Blazin' 2', has
been just as successful.
"I'm like a junkie, and records are my drug," says Brown. It's time to get
your fix.
