There he started his music journey as early as age 10 when he would practice his Disc Jockey skills on his father’s all-in-one stereo system.

Purveyor of a sound that he describes as the sound of the future, Hyper D strives to be innovative by creating his own crafty remixes. He not only tries to bring unique sound to live playing with the infusion of his love for soca, hip hop, St. Lucian beats and a bit of old school dancehall but also brings that creativity to his Sound Cloud audience with his infectious mixes.
When he is off the console and outside the DJ booth, Hyper D dabbles in Information Technology and takes every opportunity to increase his education in music production and sound engineering. Music for Hyper D is therapy and he leaves his passion with the crowd every time he plays. He has truly built a name for himself in and outside of St. Lucia.
