Supa D started his DJing career at the tender age of just 14 while learning through his father who at the time was a DJ. One day still at the age of only 14 Supa and his friend Jammer were walking through Hackney Wick Market and came across a pair of decks and bought them for a mere £5.

He was on stations such as Magic 90.2 & Mission 90.6 and in 2002 Supa D joined De Ja Vu 92.3fm.

He worked for Wired for Sound Record shop in Hackney every week on a Friday and was there for 8/9 years. He described this as more of a hobby than a job and the bonus was that he was
