My name is LaMonde Charles aka Dj Spice and this is my biography.

I was born on the 14th of July 1980 in the spiceisle Grenada. I was introduced to music at a very early age by my father. Sometimes I tend to think that there is beats and musical vibe just flowing through my veins. At since around age 5 I can remember my father religously putting the record player in the verandah to get the music going while the sunday work was being done. At since that tender age i found an interest in the classic oldies. George nooks and Gregory Isaac just to name a few. As I grew older I got into music from my time. I found that it was easy for me to appreciate any type of music as I was exposed to such a wide variety from a very young age. In my early teens I found myself fascinated by Dj's. Found myself listening to alot of stonelove mix tapes and really liking what I was hearing. I would also catch myself on Fridays and Saturdays infront of the radio with my headphones in my ear listening hours on end to the local dj's doing their stuff and I can remember thinking to myself I really think I am capable of doing this. In my late teens/late 90s I decided to see how I can give it A try. I got a couple of lessons from a friend that dj'd and it just took of from there. I started with records and move to virtual technology. I started of playing at house parties and small roadside parties. I did that for about 3 years between 2000-2003. I went to Cuba to study in 2003 thinking that that would be a pause in my dj career but I was so wrong. I went to Cuba only to discover that caribbean party vibe was even crazier than where i came from and that the demand for great caribbean dj's were very high. I thought to myself that this was my calling. I started dj'ing at a couple of the small school parties and made it my goal to be the number 1 foriegn dj in Cuba. It took me almost 3 yrs to do it but eventually I got there, winning 4 dj titles. One title for best soca dj, another for best crowd response and two overall dj competitions just for juggling music. This was done infront of crowds of over 500 people. I came back home in 2007 and decided to give it a rest a bit seeing that my job is very demanding and usually has me tired. That only lasted a short while. I got connected to a Dominican guy with an internet radio station called www.islandriddimz.com, who I became very close friends with and i've been dj'ing there on a weekly basis from then up till now. In grenada I right now I only do house parties and the radio. That is by choice and not by circumstance. I am a very versitile Dj and I play for my listeners and not myself. My goal is always to please my fans in anyway possible through music. I've never had a bad response from my listeners and don't plan to either. Music is in my veins and it will be there till my last breath.
