DJ Yess started practicing his self-taught DJ’ing skills in 1983, by 1988 he formed a DJ foundation called the ‘Masterplan’. The Masterplan originated from the Golden Age of Hip-hop, an era that encouraged innovation, experimentation and political commentary. With musical sparks flying, their influence has spanned for over 3 full decades. The crew’s parties, radio shows, record deals and underground grooves were legendary and the talented team comprised of some of Leicester’s finest MC’s, producers and DJ’s of the time. Yess was nominated to display his early works with ‘Masterplan’ in Leicester’s ‘Urban Legacy’ showcase and also at Manchester’s Urbis Exhibition center’s ‘Homegrown: The Story of UK Hip Hop’, as many now consider some of his works as ‘Urban Classics’. Some of these early works have now been signed and to be released in early 2020. Today, a teacher of Music Technology, DJ Yess’s aspirations are to continue producing with new and upcoming artists, as well as to research for music educational academic journals.
