And onto Karizma..

Karizmaâs musical career started with him djing at age 13, doing various fashion shows and college parties. He landed a radio show on Baltimoreâs college radio station WEAA, playing hip hop and at the same time was playing at various clubs around the city showing an obvious love for house music. Around this time he would often bump into DJ Spen and bug him for advice. As fate would have it Spen and Karizma would work together at radio station V103. This prompted the two to work together on Spenâs 1st Jasper street company album project. Karizma contributed the song E.B.W.2.R.T.W (Everybody wants 2 rule the world) and did drum programming on the track âTemptationâ.

After this Spen & Karizma worked on Kim Englishâs âTommorrowâ, Mary J Bligeâs âBeautifulâ, Kenny Bobienâs âLet me show youâ and SuSu Bobienâs âThank youââ¦ the rest is history. Spen and Karizma (now with Basement Boys productions), went on to remix Everything but the Girl, Amira, Lenny Kravitz, Ann Nesby, Ron Carroll, Roy Ayers, Boris Dlugosh, Bob Sinclar, Kathy Brown, Jocelyn Brown and Ministers de la Funk to name a few. It was in these remixes Karizma developed the âdeepah dubsâ and âdeepah onesâ moniker for his rendition of the remixes.

Flashing forwardâ¦ after a healthy career of remixes and productions, Karizma struck out on his own a formed Kohesive Productions. His first production âSamma Ganniâ was released on Basement boys imprint âElphunkâ. His remixes, redits and productions are heard weekly at the âSky Loungeâ bar on Thursdays, his residency in Baltimore. Many of his productions have championed the likes of Louie Vega, Simon Dunmore, Dj Spinna, Marques Wyatt, Tony Humphries and many more.

Karizma is also an accomplished international DJ, one of the most innovative on the scene, who is known for destroying the Powerhouse room at the legendary Southport Weekender in 2006, and the rest is indeed history..
