Redwood combines turntablism and beat-boxing in his DJ sets to break from the normal monotony of constant plain beat matching that one would experience from most DJs.
Redwoods career started in 1986 when after listening to 2 cassettes brought back from the States by his friend. The cassettes were 'RUN-DMC's Raising Hell' and 'Beastie Boys' - License to ill' and has been beat-boxing ever since. The inspiration that was instilled in him at the time was to last till present day.
Redwood started playing on the decks in 1994 with deep house mixes perfecting beat mixing and later turned professional in London in 1999 then turned to tuntablism (scratching and beat-juggling) now is an all-round DJ, covering all aspects on the turntables and BEAT-BOXING.
During the building of his DJ career, Redwood has been able to build his own unique trademark using various techniques to accomplish this and one that will definitely amaze an audience, no matter their background or preferred genre, is the simultaneous scratching and beat-boxing that can only be appreciated when watching this master working live.
Since then Redwood has been playing at many gigs around the country and performed in Japan (Tokyo and Osaka) and was well received by the Japanese. He also performed in Cape Verde at the largest Annual Festival that the country holds Baia Das Gatas in front of 50000 people.
