At the age of 14, DJ Mo Beatz acquired his nickname from making beats with his hands on the school lunchroom table as his peers would rap to his creative melodies. Soon after, his love for music pulled him into the world of DJing and he entered his first DJ battle, as this proved to be the beginning of something grand. Considering the fact that his native city of Detroit carries the tough standards of success in the music industry, Mo Beatz combined his passion for music and DJ'ing skills to take on the challenge. Influences by legends such as DJ Q-Bert, DJ A-Track and Jazzy Jeff have helped mold Mo Beatz into the successful DJ and individual he is today.

After breaking into the music industry, Mo Beatz began receiving valuable knowledge and guidance and soon landed an internship with FM98 WJLB, which led to a weekly mixer position with the popular station. This spot shortly led to an array of opportunities, including being the youngest DJ to attend the Power Summit in the Bahamas, hosting and DJing official Adidas in-store events during All Star Weekend in Las Vegas, guest spots on satellite radio/ shade 45, being brought into the DJ coalition shadyville DJs, DJing overseas and countless concerts and after-parties for some of music's biggest names such as Lil' Wayne, Soulja Boy, Gucci Mane and more.

Mo Beatz has learned the importance of not having limits. He has expanded from DJ'ing clubs and events and gone on to host a number of mix tapes which have been featured on thisis50.com amongst other sites. Being extremely familiar with Hip Hop and R&B music, his repertoire also extends to pop, electronic, techno, mash-ups and other popular styles of music that guarantees to keep the attention of any listener and please all crowds.
