About DJ BIG BEN:
Big Ben is a prominent name in the New York City club circuit, hailing from Brooklyn by way of uptown. Ben was inspired by his older brother, a disco DJ, and deejayed his first club at the age of 14. At 19 he broke into the NYC club scene where he caught the attention of NYC’s most exclusive party promoters as well as record label reps. Before he knew it was playing for upscale crowds and celebrities, all over the country and internationally. Big Ben has hit up major cities and has toured with The Voice of New York herself, Angie Martinez, as her DJ/hype man as well as with The Backstreet Boys and O-Town. Ben was approached by DJ Enuff who then made him a Heavy Hitter and with the blessing of Funkmaster Flex he was offered the opportunity to become a Hot 97 mixer, a crowning moment in Ben’s career. Big Ben is known for his eclectic style, blending together rock, hip-hop, reggae, 80’s music and more.
