A.B.3 (Art Blakey III)

Art Blakey III was born in NYC into a family full of music, influenced as much by the gigs his Father and Grandfather would play at Jazz clubs and concerts as he was by the diverse musical culture that the greatest city in the world had to offer. It was not until he was struck by the lightning bolt that is Drum & Bass that he vowed to actually become a DJ, if only to be a messenger as his forefathers had been before him, spreading the music to all who would listen.

Through the years, Art was afforded the opportunity to rock at New York parties, Konkrete Jungle, Funked Dub, Natural Selection and Carbon Based Beats with the likes of Raw Q, Dave Shichman, Paul C, Odi, Dara, Mousky, TankTop NYC and Micah Chockley as well as legends such as Goldie, Total Science, Sub Focus, Loxy, The Insiders, & R.A.W.

Now paired with his wife, D-Fly, he hopes to pass on the family legacy of music down to the next generation.
