American Born Derald Reynolds, Gruvmusic Founder, has been DJing, exploring his passion since the age of thirteen. During his teenage years he was a bedroom DJ getting the occasional ‘house party’ gig. His Djing career took off upon entering university, when he joined a local DJ group called ‘Dirty 8 Productions’ in North Carolina. He would soon become a dominant force on the local scene rocking large-scale college parties and making guest appearances on the local college radio station – ’90.1 WNAA’. Upon completing his degree, he was accepted to study at the Oxford Brookes University in the U.K. This is when he first brought his DJing talents to an international audience. He became resident at Oxford’s premiere Hip-Hop and R&B nightspot – ‘The Parkend Night Club’, and he was often a guest on the local radio station ‘Oxygen FM’ displaying his turntable skills over the airwaves.

Derald Reynolds moved to Hong Kong in 1997. He started on the scene by playing at underground venues such as ‘Medium Rare’ and soon began to make a name for himself. It was then that he was offered a co-residency with DJ Joel Lai at drop. Since he started his Djing he’s played along with international Artists and DJ’s: De La Soul, Biz Markie, Smokin’ Joe, James Fierce, and Sandy Riviera.
