DJ Dodge DJ Dodge

Dodge first came to DJ prominence back in '94 at the legendary 'Fresh and Funky' night at the Borderline in London's Charing Cross Road.

He's been an artist in his own right, signed to Island Records as Dodge City Productions, DJ'ed across the globe, written and produced songs for Beverley Knight, Damage, Another Level and Jamelia plus remixed the likes of Busta Ryhmes, D Angelo and Erykah Badu, as well as earning a MOBO nomination in 1999, and an Urban Music Seminar contribution Award in 2000.

These days, as well as continuing his hectic production schedule, Dodge now reports regularly to a parliament committee on youth crime concerns. Last week, in a special report on Channel 5 News, he seeks to find out why so many of the UK's young black population become entangled in the criminal justice system and whether social exclusion is a factor for many of them.

Dodge speaks regularly at various UK colleges and schools on matters concerning music and the music business. in 2006 he appeared (twice) on Sky News Live to comment on issues concerning youth crime.
