[edit] Biography
A prodigy in the world of scratch music, I-Dee began his career in 1997 at the tender age of 10. Beginning battling in 2002, I-Dee won numerous regional titles in his native D.C. as well as up and down the East Coast. This sparked ears to open as he was slowly beginning to become a force to be reckoned within the competition circuit. Ultimately, he solidified his name in 2006, at the age of 18/19, by winning dual national and a single world title in a matter of 6 months. No other DJ had accomplished such a remarkable act within a short period of time and age. With nothing else to prove, he was ready to retire from the battle scene and elevate his DJ career to a new level.
The past few years have seen I-Dee traveling the globe showcasing the artform of turntablism in such locations as China, Taiwan, Czech Republic and the United Kingdom. Now at age 21, he is set to release his debut LP and begin a new chapter in his illustrious career.
I-Dee has made past appearances in URB Magazine, Scratch Magazine, Remix Magazine, XXL Magazine, The Source Magazine, Teen Vogue Magazine, MTV United Kingdom, The Miami Herald, The Washington Post, Fox Sports Net, Telemundo, Univision, Okayplayer.com, The Associated Press, Ortofon DJ News Magazine and Hip-Hop Connection UK Magazine.
[edit] Personal Life
DeLima grew up in Northern Virginia and moved to Miami Beach at the age of 18. He attended culinary school until he decided to pursue his DJ career on a full-time basis. Both of his parents are from South America and is of Hispanic decent. At 17, DeLima was offered a weekly radio gig on DC's WKYS-FM courtesy of DJ Cee-Lo but had to regretfully decline because of still being in high school and unable to commit.
