Who Is Biggz?
One of the Northwest's most recognized DJ's, Biggz has been an influence in Portland OR area nightlife scene for decades.
Biggz was born in Long Beach CA in May of 1974. Raised by his parents, including his father who was a professional musician during Biggz' adolescent years, Biggz quickly took on a musical lifestyle of his own. After moving to Vancouver WA at a young age, he was captivated by the entertainment industry and developed a passion for entertaining people. From trying to break dance at lunch recess in elementary school to reciting raps and doing lip-sync competitions in elementary school, he'd do what he could to make people laugh and give them reasons to enjoy themselves. Biggz often was, and still is the life of the party at any gathering.
In mid 1988 DJ Biggz took it to the next level when he was given the opportunity to DJ a school dance at his Jr. High School. He took complete advantage of the opportunity, and by the end of the same year he was Dj'ing school dances and house parties and events on a regular basis – all before his Freshman year in high school.
All throughout high school Biggz maintained decent grades while running his mobile DJ company – Sounds Of Magic Mobile DJ's. This with the help of a few dedicated friends molded him into a self-sufficient business person. In 1997 he became manager of a local underage nightclub, which escalated him to another level in his career – the promoter.
It didn't take him long to find his way into the business of the recording industry, and he founded Three 6 Oh Productions in November of 1997 and quickly propelled Three 6 Oh to a nationally-recognized powerhouse of promotion. In Feb. of 1998 DJ Biggz took to the road with promotional items for LaFace Records after meeting their street team at the official afterparty for the Puff Daddy Victory Tour that was held at the nightclub Biggz was managing. Since then Three 6 Oh Productions has been utilized around the Northwest by such labels as Interscope Records, Arista Records, WB Records, LaFace Records, Virgin Records and many more. Three 6 Oh became a recognized leader in street team promotions throughout the country with their grass-roots marketing techniques and guerilla marketing tactics, and has been hired on more than one occasion to take their work ethic to the streets outside of the Northwest as well, covering many parts of the West Coast, Las Vegas, and Vancouver B.C.
In 1999 DJ Biggz along with the help of a few other top DJ's from his region formed a DJ union known as "FunkShop DJ's", and now FunkShop Dj's are recognized by record labels and artists worldwide for breaking records and introducing new music to the general public. FunkShop Dj's main goal is to entertain masses with the not-so-typical music they're hearing already. With DJ's all over the Northwest and beyond DJ's around the country have grown to respect what this squad from the Northwest has put down.
DJ Biggz has one of the finest reputations as a workhorse for the music industry as well as an entertainer. He's DJ'd with some of the biggest names in hip-hop and R&B around the country, developed personal relationships with artists and managers, and maintains passion for the art of DJ'ing as well as independent artists, always supporting the industry and culture whenever possible. He's a recognized tastemaker, record breaker, and leader in the urban music industry throughout the entire Northwest region, and has become a "household name" with record labels and music industry professionals abroad.
Throughout many challenges and learning for himself, Biggz became the DJ he is today – one that is loved by many, hated by very few. A self-sufficient business minded individual that can do everything from design a flyer to executing a full concert. He knows just what it takes to DJ any event from a nightclub to a wedding, a corporate event to a house party. If you're lucky you can find one of the dozens of mixtapes he's done, and you can hear his mixes on https://www.mixcloud.com/DJBiggzFS/ as well. A mixtape DJ, a leading nightclub DJ, a host, a graphic designer, a promotions guru, and a family man. This is THE DJ Biggz. Don't be fooled by imitations. DJ Biggz is not here today and gone tomorrow – DJ Biggz is here to stay.
