Amos Damon (DJ Fame) was actively involved in the school band, chorus and keyboard club. Although he quickly impressed his musical instructors with his natural ability to write and read music as well as play it, Fame recognized that these activities would not last forever and searched for other outlets for his creativity. In his early teens, he was introduced to electronic dance music and realized how important the dj was to the party. Fame took notice of each dj’s technical abilities and styles, but above all, he learned about controlling the crowd. Just as with all music, he mastered the art of the dj with fervor, and DJ Fame was born. The past decade has been highlighted with various performances by Fame as he continued to harness the inimitable skills that, combined, created today’s final product. This creation is Fame’s unique blend of hard, funky tech-house synthesized with cuts, scratches and turntable tricks that has been showcased at clubs and parties around the globe. From his residency at New York’s premier underground venue, Sullivan Room, to guest sets in every corner of America, the Dominican Republic, Europe (Belgium, London, Italy, Amsterdam), and Russia, DJ Fame continues to keep dance floors moving ‘til the lights come up. What Fame has achieved through these experiences is a bold display of energy, illuminating stage presence and a rightfully-earned air of confidence that sets him apart from so many peers and makes him truly one of the hottest young talents on the dance scene. Between his hectic touring schedule for the future, his various radio show appearances, and with an arsenal of new productions ready for release in the coming year, Fame may give new meaning to his namesake in ’07. Fame’s recent releases on Dubsided and Dusk Recordings have been making waves on the dance floor charting and getting play from Switch, Jesse Rose, Jimpster, Richie Hawtin, The Scumfrog, and many more!
