Biography

E.J. has been involved in the media industry for nearly 20 years starting with Local TV Access broadcasting in the 1980s, in Bloomfield, Connecticut just outside of Hartford. Coincidently, across town a young Howard Stern was also making his radio debut. During the same time, E.J. was a "self-taught" pioneering Rapper, Party Promoter & Hip-Hop DJ while attending Syracuse University. Not only in New York City was there a hip-hip music explosion, but in Upstate New York a little known DJ Magic Supreme aka E.J. was performing live DJ mixes on the radio and at Black fraternity and sorority parties. E.J. was a part of a rap duo producing music, writing lyrics and developing other artists that performed around Upstate New York. E.J. was integral to providing a musical electronic extravaganza during live concert shows in the mid 80s. At that time it was unprecedented to perform DJ mixing using more than 2 turntables with electronic music samples of not only music, but movie sound bites and "spoken word", in order to deliver to the music listener an "Ear-Orgy" sensation.
