Mike Walker, born and raised in Alexandria, VA, and the son of two amateur-musician parents, trained to play classical piano and church organ but instead went on to acclaim as the US DMC champion in 2006. This episode features some of his epic DJ battles as well as his jam session with legendary turntablist, DJ Qbert. Not to be pigeonholed, Mike also talks about his time in church choir, neighborhood musicals, battle of the bands, creating computer-programmed tracker music, gamelan ensemble, live college radio drum n bass mixes, Atlanta strip club hip-hop deejaying, all-night fusion sessions, being a founding member of the Kobra Kai, and more!
