Originally from Chesterfield, VA, DJ Sleep Ez discovered his hunger for the turntables in 2003 after coming into the game in 2001. This hunger began after moving to Petersburg, VA and becoming affiliated with "Petersburg's Unofficial Mayor DJ Foot". After working with DJ Foot for a couple of years, DJ Sleep Ez’s ambition to learn the game grew. Now being on the tables he officially joined the DJ coalition called the Footklan. To enhance his ‘street credibility’, Sleep began to flood the streets of Central VA with club banging mixes and although there are many DJ's affiliated with the Footklan, DJ Sleep Ez had also became the most highly recommended and requested. He had mastered the art of keeping night clubs live and turnt up.
