Ahmed Shawi (D.J. Uptown) was born in the Kingdom of Bahrain in 1987. By the age of 12, Uptown took it upon himself to learn the art of turntablism. He began spinning at various events at his middle school (yes, middle school), and was quickly recruited by surrounding Bahrain schools. At 15 years old, Uptown was considered a musical prodigy and landed a permanent residency at Club Edge in Bahrain, one of the largest nightclubs in the kingdom. During his high school years, Uptown toured the Middle East and Europe, performing at the largest nightclubs and events in Dubai, Cairo, Istanbul, London, and Amsterdam. Influenced by the many cultures, languages, and musical genres he came across during his tours, DJ Uptown had the opportunity to develop a completely unique “international” style that set him apart from his peers; all before graduating high school.
