DJ FLY discovered turntables around 1998, while still a teenager in the Lyon region of France. DJ FLY has an impressive battle record and he became a national powerhouse in France, winning multiple French DMC championships. He then moved onto the global stage and won the prestigious DMC World DJ Championships in 2008, 2013, and again in 2024—solidifying his status as one of the very best in the world.
DJ FLY is known for his highly technical scratching, beat-juggling, musicality and performance flair. He blends hip-hop roots with influences from electro, bass music, and even symphonic elements.
He is also a founding member of the turntablist collective Scratch Bandits Crew, in which he and other DJs produce original compositions using scratching techniques.
Beyond competitions, DJ FLY has performed around the world: in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and more. His shows range from club sets to festivals, where he brings a combination of technical skills and music selection.
He also produces music and releases specialist vinyl tools for turntablists.
