It all began when Ryan tried to spin vinyl records at home out of curiosity. His interest in spinning records grew until it became a hobby. Got serious equipment and bought records here and there.

The hobby became part time business. Ryan, as he was plainly called, played for house parties and private functions and events. After getting the knack of it, he branded himself as DJ Ryan. His first major gig was at the Cubby Bear Wriglyville as a regular. Other gigs soon followed thereafter. He even opened for the popular 80’s singer Debra Gibson.

Then the part time became a serious career move officially launching himself as DJ CLAUD10 (pronounced claud-ten). Through the years he has earned residency at various bars and clubs such as Grand Central, Max Bar, Moe’s Cantina, Level, Bella Lounge, etc.

Presently, he has residency in various venues in Chicago. DJ CLAUD10 mixes a variety of music ranging from the 70’s to the 90’s; Hip-Hop to House, to today’s music.
