Bio/History

DJ ADG started his music career in 1997, while still in high school he would put together Hip Hop mixtapes for friends and other Hip Hop hungry teenagers. He would also DJ at his family and friends parties and gatherings. After graduating high school ADG enrolled in a community college hoping to work toward a law degree only to drop out by mid 2000.

In late 1999 his older sister would move to Florida to begin schooling of her own. Although not a direct reason why ADG is at the current position oddly enough he does attribute her move to Florida as a key point in his career. With a history of work in urban promotions Tinkerbell would immediately start to link up with Orlando DJ's and other Hip Hop enthusiasts. In early 2000 both ADG and Tinkerbell would work with Desert Storm DJ Greg G and others; most notable was NY legendary DJ Jesse Jazz. Although the life of Greg G's Big Life magazine was short lived with only 5 issues being published, this affiliation would allow ADG to cover the annual Black College Reunion in Daytona Beach as well as get some articles published and network with many of Orlando's Hip Hop work force.

That same year he also met a young Julia Beverly; while attending a Wu Tang Underground Tour concert Tinkerbell was backstage catching up with old friends. See, you would have to back-up to the early 90's for a second to fully understand. In the early 90's Tinkerbell would help do promotions for a group of then unknown rappers collectively called the Wu Tang Clan. ADG vividly remembers messages on his answering machine from members of the Wu and other Hip Hop notables. Back to that night in Orlando, Tinkerbell would introduce ADG to Julia Beverly, who was there as a photographer taking pictures for Big Life Magazine.

The next couple of years ADG would develop a series of mixtapes called "Back To The Block" and "This Is What I Do!" as well as drop different mixtapes for various certain occasions and establish NeverAFlawProductions.com. In 2003 ADG began schooling once again but this time it was a different school and a different subject; he enrolled in and attended a recording arts program at the world famous Real World Education Full Sail technical college. Around this time Julia Beverly contacted ADG to help out with a small regional magazine called Ozone Magazine. Throughout the next couple of years ADG helped Julia Beverly and Ozone to become the well respected magazine we see now, although most of the published articles focused on albums reviews and small write ups ADG took on the music editor title at various times in his two year tenure with the magazine leaving finally in December of 2005. As it currently stands Ozone Magazine is the premiere southern hip hop magazine in the United States and has taken home numorous awards.

In the latter months of 2005 ADG had a few very pleasant unexpected developments in his career, both the Orlando based DJ-Artist collective Full Impact All Stars and the Miami based Hood DJs would welcome ADG with open arms. Also around that time the worldwide #1 entity in audio and video promotions Promo Only would call ADG and give him a chance at working on editing video for their music digital video discs, although the job involved minimal audio editing ADG knew it was a step in the right direction.

Only 3 months after accepting the a position in the video department, the executive producer for Promo Only would allow ADG to step into the more familiar audio side of things. As an audio engineer for Promo Only ADG would be responsible for the mastering, sequencing and overall quality of their product, which would be distributed to VJs and DJs worldwide. As well as being partially responsible for mixed audio power sets, much like those seen on MTV2 Monster Mix. In fact Promo only was responsible for that actual MTV2 program. Basically the job required some knowledge of music theory and a lot of editing done on a digital audio workstation comprised of either; HD or LE editions of the industry standard Digi Design Pro Tools. In 2007 Promo Only would pick up an award at the Miami Winter Music Conference for best Record Pool.

All throughout 2006 and firmly continuing into the 2007 calendar year ADG would mainly focus on audio production, music editing and the process of mastering audio. By the time the busy 4th quarter rolls around ADG plans to re-emerge into the promotional mixtape game. Some people say numbers don't lie so as it stands; ADG has graduated from the 3rd best recording arts school in the world, has helped establish the #1 hip hop magazine in the south and he has also helped maintain the quality and respect of the #1 audio and visual music promotional company in the world. And he is only 26.
