Details:
My name is Derrick "SelectorSkull" Balthazar. Born and bred in East Trinidad,started my career in 1997 with the drive and determination to become a famous Dj, not only in Trinidad and Tobago, but internationally. I was always influenced by popular Dj's such as Dr. Hyde, Rhythm Nation & E.T.C., practiced playing music under the guidance of the legends of Trinidad and Tobago and first started playing at popular nightclubs."SelectorSkull" always knew music was his passion. From an early age he was always fixing and listening to different types of music fueled by his uncle's love for music, a lot of the 80's music was my source of musical influence as i grew older.
Building My Future.
Since breaking out on the scene as "SelectorSkull" my Dj career sky rocketed when i became a member of Iwer George Soca Station 919fm Trini Bashment in 2006. This gave me an opportunity to play in many shows across T&T and the Caribbean. "SelectorSkull" was also blessed with the opportunity to showcase his talent on the international scene by playing in Miami and Tortula.
Conclusion
Becoming a Soca Dj was one the greatest choices made in my life, having the opportunity to enter in the International Soca Dj competition and placing 2nd was a great stepping stone in my career. It gives me great pleasure knowing that Soca Artiste recognize my talent as a Soca Dj to be an instrument on stage. I have been blessed to work with Soca Artistes such as, Iwer, Faye Ann Lyons, Zola, Skinny Fabulous,Kerwin Du Bois, Problem Child and presently Blaxx from The Band Roy Cape.
Closing Words
Music is a universal language to the world and being able to mix different beats and genres keeps me motivated and dedicated. The crowd's reaction makes my performance energetic and an amazing feeling overcomes me when people show enjoyment.
While Thanking god for life, blessings and knowledge, "SelectorSkull" would love to teach the youths of the future, because music is a "MISSION NOT A COMPETITION"
