How It Started
PSG was Inspired by 1980s Hip Hop pioneers RUN DMC and LL Cool J, Eric B and Rakim, and Big Daddy Kane.
PSG loved the distinct beats and flow of the lyrical content and the cultural representation and as a teen he started by emulating his
favourite Hip Hop artists until developing his own signature sound. However the 25+ years career of performing to crowds and audiences
all began when his brother a Scratch DJ Starski Gee bought him his first mic after recognising his talents and their mutual love of music.
Soon the 16 year old PSG was travelling all over London doing shows and being featured on pirate stations including the
iconic Jungle and Kool FM.
During the height of the UKG era, PSG travelled the globe to destinations like the UAE, USA, Cyprus, Spain and
The Netherlands to mention a few, MC’in in the hottest clubs in legendary holiday resorts such as Ayia Napa, Ibiza, Malia, Zante and
Marbella much to the delight of every promoter.
