St Maarten’s top party and club DJ known region-wide as “The Cut Creator DJ Outkast” knows how to pump it up and keep the music moving and keep partygoers grooving! From cutting it up in the clubs to breaking new records on radio, DJ Outkast has perfected the art of mixing, scratching and blending music, using his totally unique style, where international, local and cultural rhythms weave into a steady tempo of musical movement for the crowd to enjoy. Born Chantry C. Hodge on the island of St Maarten, Dutch West Indies, he knew at a very young age that music would be his life. Experimenting on some old turntables, a CD player and a cassette deck in his basement he immersed himself in the world of music his father left behind when he closed an old family record shop owned for decades. A large selection of singles and LP records of the 70’s and 80’s were at his fingertips and with a little flourish and perfecting his own performing talent Outkast started playing for birthday parties and other small events at the age of 15. In June 2004, DJ Outkast traveled to Europe for the first time, where he played at venues in Amsterdam & Germany. These events prepared DJ Outkast for what was ahead of him in the coming months as in August, international beer distributor Heineken held its very first Green Synergy DJ Competition, featuring the Caribbean’s best DJs. DJ Outkast, the youngest DJ in the competition at age 20, won hands down. As St Maarten’s Champion, DJ Outkast placed 2nd in Antigua for the Caribbean finals of the Green Synergy Competition. In 2006 history repeated itself when Outkast won St. Maarten’s Competition for a 2nd time. Then went on to The Bahamas to place 2nd in the Caribbean Finals, which was featured on popular Caribbean TV network Tempo. Since the Green Synergy experience, The Cut Creator has been making his mark throughout the Caribbean & Europe. He has been instrumental in promoting St. Maarten through his musical talent. Outkast’s quick mixes and energetic style of playing is the reason why his popularity has been on a rise with promoters and fans alike. With a vast travel history in the past 6 years, Outkast has entertained party people in more than 15 countries & over 30 cities in his quest to make himself a household name wherever he plays. In 2009 Outkast was approached by Dj Whoo Kid & Dj Genie Of The Shadyville Djs to create Shadyville Caribbean. A Caribbean branch off of the world famous Shadyville Dj Fraternity which is also established with Shady/Aftermath & G Unit. Dj Outkast is now signed on and apart of Top Gunners & Shadyville Djs along with Shadyville/Aftermath & G Unit!! Doing St. Maarten Proud!!!
