DJ Cipha Sounds

Whether hosting the all-the-way live Cipha Sounds Effect on Sirius Satellite Radio's Shade45, running the number one rated weekend show Cipha Saturdays on New York's Hot 97, or serving as the face of MTV's hip-hop countdown Sucker Free, Cipha radiates personality, driving every project with his likeable swagger and confident tastes. Just as comfortable in front of the camera as he is behind the turntables, Cipha has carved out a voice in music over the past 15 years that is unmistakably his own. Cipha soon found himself spinning for Lil Kim and Mos Def on national tours, rocking private parties and album release galas for superstars like Diddy, Eminem and Mariah Carey, and even serving as resident DJ for the cross-cultural phenomenon Chapelle's Show. Most importantly, Cipha got the chance to spread his selections over the airwaves as part of Funkmaster Flex's nightly radio show on Hot 97, where he learned how to break new records—helping turn once-unknowns like Sean Paul and 50 Cent into superstars. In 2003, he took an even bigger leap into the music industry by co-founding the Jack Move production and management company, who brought Nina Sky to the forefront of the pop and R&B worlds with smashes like "Move Ya Body" and are now establishing Bronx rapper Daytona as a young MC to watch.
