Spade1 has been on the top of his game since he started in the music business in 1988. Living the cultural hip-hop life, Spade1 started sharpening his skills as a DJ rocking high school house parties and rapping with local groups in Berlin, Germany. Upon his arrival at Virginia State University, Spade1 took over the college party scene and became one of Virginia’s top party DJ’s. Every show that came anywhere near central VA from 1993 - 1999, Spade1 had a hand in it one way or another. It wasn’t until 1996, when his mixed tapes and CD’s started to become popular, Spade1 began producing music so that local rap artists could shine on his CD’s. Since then, he has been producing and working with many different unsigned Hip- Hop and R&B artists. Currently, he is Co-Founder of Soul Foundation Music with plans on taking this music industry to new levels.
