Bio

Kenny Nix Jr (born in Queens, NY) better known as DJ UMC, is an artist, producer, and DJ whose style is best described as Urban Rock. UMC is a powerful, strong-minded artist who has been a visionary since he began his music career professionally 8 years ago. Among his many talents, UMC is exceptional at controlling crowds and giving people music they can relate to.
Since an infant, UMC has been in the studio absorbing the eclectic and expansive audio created by his own father Kenton Nix Sr. – one of the most heavily-sampled producers in music. At the age of 20, UMC began DJing and has played at major venues during his college years at Penn State as well as throughout the tri-state area performing at Crash Mansion, the National and Village Underground, Cafe Wha? and other lower Manhattan spots. UMC has also opened up for platinum artists such as Nelly and Fat Joe. In 2004, DJ UMC began to take guitar seriously and has increased his production skills by also learning the bass and drums. The sound he is moved to create is strictly for the people and is ready to invade the mainstream.
After changing direction in his career, UMC recently developed his own song ideas and began recording his self-titled album “DJ UMC” which is scheduled to be released later this year. Gaining inspiration from James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, Michael Jackson, Led Zeppelin, Prince, Eric Clapton and other legendary artists, UMC will likely be one of the hottest acts for 2012 and beyond. You can catch him and his "sick" band performing live around NYC and the tri-state area.
