Sydney, Australia
MC Shureshock, aka Cameron James Brown, made his first forays on the mic in 1990 as an early player in Brisbane's burgeoning rave scene where his vocal dexterity and showmanship lit the fuse for now-legendary dance floor riots.
As the decade neared its end, Shureshock turned his attention to the emerging underground sound of breakbeat coming out of the UK. This fresh style allowed Shureshock to add lyrical flow to his already unquestionable ability to hype a crowd.
Around this time when he met Jesse Desenberg, aka Kid Kenobi, who was on his way to being voted Australia's number one DJ.
With an instant friendship born out of a love of music and performing, the pair made the perfect accomplices both on and off stage, a formidable duo that would become the pin-up boys for breakbeat in Australia.
Almost nine years on, thousands of frequent flyer miles and a string of successful Ministry of Sound compilations later, Shureshock remains a crowd favourite wherever he goes.
