DJ Chuck Chillout
After leaving 98.7 KISS-FM, Chuck broke new waves at 107.5 WBLS FM for two years. In 1992, Chuck became a VJ for the top rated hip-hop show in New York City, Video Music Box. Chuck blazed new trails in 1995 by becoming one of the first DJ's to play hip-hop music in Japan. Hip-Hop artists like Busta Rhymes, A Tribe Called Quest and Run DMC became known in Japan as a result. "Hip Hop was very popular in Japan." " The people there knew the history of the artists I was playing as well as mine." "Japanese people were totally into the culture." In 1996, Chuck helped break current superstar DMX by being one of the first DJ's to play his smash hit, "Get At Me Dog." " I knew this record was going to be a smash because it was different from what was being played on the radio." The beat was hot and delivery was different", says Chuck about DMX. Chuck established Full Blast Promotions in 1999. Full Blast Promotions is New Jersey's premier record pool. " I established Full Blast Promotions in New Jersey because there was a need for a premier record pool in New Jersey." DJ's in New Jersey were hungry for a company such as Full Blast to step up and take over. Full Blast will continue to grow in the new millennium", says Chuck about Full Blast Promotions. Chuck's affiliation with old and new school Hip-Hop and R&B has helped him land the title of one of today's most sought after DJ's. Most recently his participation in the Essence Music Festival and Cruise has escalated his career to new heights.
