Hailing from Baltimore, Maryland, DJ Karizma hit the decks at Krush Club, Oostende, Belgium, the only underground club in Belgium.

In the clip, Karizma -talks about the responsibilities of being a DJ - to uplift and educate the crowd - and his musical influences and heroes.

He also waxes lyrical about the new Pioneer products which give him a platform to be creative with his sounds, especially the new mixer which he says combines the best of the DJM-800 and DJM-1000.

In the next year Karizma has lots of collaborations and productions planned as well as something with an orchestra. He's also exploring the CDJ to make it play keyboard sounds...watch this space!
