Dale, A.K.A. DJ Maitre D, first picked up DJ'ing way back in the 80s. These were the early days of Hip-Hop and Dance Music. And like so many other kids of the day, young D wanted to be the next Grandmaster Flash or Jam Master Jay. Even before he picked up his first set of headphones, he would hear other DJs on the radio and say to himself: “I can do that!”

Maitre D honed his DJ and MC skills under the tutelage of Chicago legend David “Mixin” Dixon, son of late jazz great Willie Dixon. Soon, DJ Maitre D was spinning the "wheels of steel" at great 80s clubs like the Grand Central Station, The Network, and Florentine Gardens. He soon turned those experiences to the world of mobile DJ'ing, first starting with house parties and graduating to weddings, quinceañeras, and corporate events.
