Born in Oklahoma, raised in So Cal. Dj Cre-8 had a love of music at a very early age. His father, a distinguished Mexican-American, Vietnam Veteran and musician expressed his musical knowledge from his travels through Cre-8 at a young age by playing everything from classical, country, folk, pop and everything in between in Cre-8’s wee years. By Cre-8’s teenage years he knew from a high school near death stabbing incident that he needed something to take him away from the negativity of gang ridden Southern California, and music was the answer. In 2001 Cre-8’s Battle Dj career started with the local Guitar Center battles, and other Southern Cali Dj Battles that he continuously ranked high in. His club dj career came from a successful mix tape submission to a local Southern California nightclub in 1999, and his nightclub career skyrocketed from that point on. He toured all of Southern California from 2002 onward hitting top club venues in Los Angeles, Hollywood, Orange County, San Diego
