Biography

DJ Quik was born David Marvin Blake
in Compton, California on January 18, 1970. He discovered music early and
started working as a DJ and releasing mix tapes while still a teenager. His
debut album, Quik Is the Name, charted in the top 30, and the singles “Tonite”
and “Born and Raised in Compton” were R&B hits. His follow-up, Way
2 Fonky
, was a top 10 album that cemented his reputation as one of the
architects of the gangsta sound. The making of 1995’s Safe + Sound, led
him to a relationship with Suge Knight that resulted in Quik doing production
work for Death Row Records. Quik produced “Let’s Get Down” for Tony!
Toni! Toné! and it
climbed to number 5 on the pop chart in 1997. Quik formed an independent record
label in 2005 and released Trauma. He teamed with longtime pal AMG to
form The Fixxers. 2011’s The Book of David was a top 5 rap album. His
status as one the most admired producers of his generation is reflected in the
impressive list of artists he’s worked with including, but not limited to,
Whitney Huston, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Jermaine Dupri, and Kurupt.
