Initially influenced by the Miami Bass movement when he was younger, Craze has gone on to incorporate elements of hip-hop, drum n bass, and breaks in his turntable routines. DJ Craze was Kanye West’s DJ for his ‘Glow in the Dark’ tour in 2008 and Yelawolf’s touring DJ on his ‘Hard White Tour’ in 2011.
