Welcome to another episode of ArtistWorks Live! This time we were joined by the one and only DJ Qbert, who's been teaching skratching online at ArtistWorks since 2009. 

In case you don't already know, we do these montly live broadcasts with one of the talented teachers of ArtistWorks. Anyone with a 12 Month Membership (to any of our schools) can participate by sending in their questions/comments. It's always different but always interesting getting to know more about our teachers outside of the regular lesson content. These are hosted by our Director of Operations John Graves, tune in and see what they talked about!

Justin, aka JB Wizardy, is from Norwich in the UK. He started scratching records on turntables after being inspired by the critically acclaimed Scratch documentary which came out around 2002.

As he puts it:

“I was already into music and had a drum set, but after I saw that Doug Prey movie I said to myself - I need to do this. So me and my buddy went halfs on DJ equipment, but he eventually did not get into it like me and broke away from it.“ - JB
