In Dj Judge Mental's 20 plus year career, he has evolved into one of the most well diversified DJ's in the US. If there is an element of DJ’ing that Dj Judge Mental hasn’t done, then it hasn’t been created yet. Atlanta based DJ Judge Mental takes the title of DJ as seriously as any earned professional title should be. Starting young, in his 20 year career as a DJ he has covered every element and musical style of the art. Radio Mixer, Radio Personality, Turntablist, Night Clubs, Exclusive Events, Mixtapes, Concert Tours, International Club Features, Remix Production, and even recording with chart topping artists are all included in Judge Mental’s repertoire. On his mixtapes you’ll hear Judge Mental remind you of his alias “The Stealth Bomber...You won’t see me coming, but you’ll damn sure know I’ve been there”, but as this DJ’s popularity and accolades continue to grow there will be no way for him to stay “stealth” and below the radar.
Dj Judge Mental began DJ’ing in Greenville, North Carolina while in college. Quickly he created a monopoly on DJ’ing college parties throughout the city by having three mobile DJ systems, mixtapes in local record stores, managing the college radio station, and being a mix DJ/Personality on the college’s campus radio station. After graduating with a degree in Broadcasting and Audio Production, Judge Mental moved directly to commercial radio at WIKS-FM. In 1997 Judge Mental’s decision on whether to move to New York or Atlanta became clear with the developing relationships at LaFace.
Once in Atlanta, Judge Mental hit the streets hard with mix CDs and began to nurture what is now a strong foothold of relationships in the southern music scene. Soon, Judge Mental hit the airwaves again with features on Atlanta’s WVEE and daily mixshows on WMKS, before being stolen by the competitor to mix at WIBB in Macon, GA. As the popularity of Dirty South music rose, Judge Mental spun off another series of mix CDs under the title “Dirt Law” which grew into a nationaly syndicated mixshow called Dirt Law Radio co-hosted by Charlamagne the God with entertainment news from celebrity blogger Gyant of GyantUnplugged.com
In 2005, Dj Judge Mental took his career to the next level when he began touring Germany and Western Europe. Touring internationally broadened not only his terrestrial scope, but his musical scope as well. While always having a wide taste and variety of music, the European club scene was a breath of fresh air from the club scene in the States.
Currently Dj Judge Mental is one of the most sought after DJs for his top notch mixtape production and club appearances. Several corporate branding opportunities have allowed Judge to combine his expertise in marketing with his DJ skill to promote new products and artists with clients such as K6 Waves, HTC electronics manufacturer, Monster, and others.
