DJ Kos Bio In 1967 a star was born. Coming from a family with a father of various musical talents he was exposed to music day in and day out. As he grew older and the age of disco came along, he started to see his love for music grow. In 1983 breakdancing was taking over the world and he got his first glimpse of it on MTV and USA Night Flight. Now realizing what he wanted to do as a young teenager, he helped create his own breakdance group. Becoming the best group from the region he quickly realized how much he loved to be on stage, perform and make so many people happy. But the talent did not stop there. As his group became more and more widely known he would strive to take them one step further. With every local breakdancer playing their store bought K-Tel tapes, he decided he wanted to have his own style of music and mixes. He then started buying 12" records from a local record store and borrowed someone elses turntables. He then started taking all the records he had bought from the record store and would mix them together. This was the beginning of DJ Kos. In 1987 he purchased a set of Technic 1200 turntables and a Gemini MX 2200 mixer (first and one of the best scratch mixers ever). Practicing his mixing and scratching skills everyday he decided to take his talent on step further. In 1989 he got sponsored to go to the DMC finals in Chicago. It was there he realized he was able to compete with DJ's from all over the world. Meeting Bad Boy Bill, Muggs (Cypress Hill),
