Without a doubt one of the biggest talents to break through in Liverpool's tough and competitive Hip Hop scene, 22 yr old DJ Shinobi only started djing in 2002 and has made major strides since. In this short space of time, Shinobi has played high profile parties in Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham, London and more as well as playing an exclusive summer residency in Bar Galatea in Greece in 2003.

When he is not been spinning alongside heavyweights such as Radio 1's Tim Westwood, MOBO Award winner Shortee Blitz or even on a UK wide tour with the likes of G Unit and 50 Cent's DJ Whoo Kid, you can catch him at school's, libraries and youth centres teaching youngsters Hip Hop culture alongside MC TL as part of Blueprint Productions.

He also worked as a presenter and reporter alongside the Upfront Team on BBC Radio Merseyside and has interviewed stars such as Redman, Erick Sermon, Def Squad, The Clipse, Klashnekoff and Terra Firma and a whole host of Hip Hop heavyweights. Shinobi has also been chosen as the official tour DJ for one of Liverpool's hottest girl groups MIINX who are currently the subject of intense major label bidding wars and should see the group enjoying chart success and international tours. Shinobi is quite simply one of the hottest kid's on the block and definitely a star for the future.

Catch him every Monday night at HEAT – Liverpool's only weekly live hiphop night.
