Hailing from the diverse and multicultural city of Scarborough,
Ontario, and currently burning up the airwaves on Flow 93.5 FM
every Sundays from 9pm to midnight,
SPEX comes from Canada's most accomplished reggae sound
system King Turbo. As a DJ on both the North American and
International urban scene for the last 15 years, he has opened
for numerous local and international acts, including Sean Paul,
Beenie Man, Elephant Man, Shabba Ranks and more. In 2000, Spex
was asked to host a commercial radio reggae show and Riddim
Track was born. Riddim Track, an interactive show, provides
everything from Rub-a-Dub to Lover’s Rock to Dancehall, as well
as artist spotlights that provide a more in-depth sample of
artists and producers alike.
At the first annual 2006 Stylus DJ Awards, Spex won the coveted
title of “Best Reggae DJ” in Canada, recognizing his
tireless talent and impact on the Canadian Dancehall and Reggae
scenes. 2007 has shaped into an exciting and challenging year
for Spex as he scored a resounding victory for Toronto, Canada
while solidifying a name for himself in the International Reggae
scene by defeating two of the world’s biggest reggae clash
teams, Mighty Crown and King Addies in Tag Team Clash Part 2.
When asked, “What motivates you to continue?” Spex answered,
“Fun. The day I stop having fun is the day I stop DJ-ing. Plus,
my daughter motivates me each and every day”. What’s next for
Spex? His response, “Compilations, TV, syndication and a World
Tour.” While keeping true to his roots he continuously helps to
produce, build and promote Canadian talent. Spex keeps busy by
breaking new artists into the scene, like Trinity Chris,
producing music and challenging himself to reach the next level..
