Rupi has been playing dhol for over 10 years now, he is known for his hard hitting electrifying on stage presence.

In his own words :::...

{xtypo_quote}Born and raised in Sri Lanka before moving to Brizvegas with ma family in 1990. Fell in love wit music listening to old skool rap (it is now) such as Warren G, Snoop, Tupac (Above the Rim soundtrack)and RnB legends Boyz II Men. The idea of mixin beatz came after seein the clubs of BrizVegas, and the feeling to making a crowd bounce to the beatz of comin outta ur decks was ecstatic. Just like any kid wit a dream.Starting from a system that had minimum capabilities to nature his talent, he worked his way up the stream to be known in a community where the talent of a DJ had to be just as high as the talent to read the crowd and deliver. In his own words, he believes that experience and dedication leads to perfection with the right song selection. Whether he is the backbone of an event or dropping beats in your local street, he strives towards achieving at his best and giving the crowd what they hope for when they step out to the night scene. Overall, just cant get enough of music and thankful for the artist who bring out great RnB/Hip-Hop music everyday from all over the world. From rappers to soul singers to brilliant producers making those notes bounce. Anywayz, hope you like what I do as much as I Love doing it. Its ya boy Dj G creating the illest mixes with Hip-Hop/ Rap/ RnB/ Soul/ Reggaeton. {/xtypo_quote}

Instead of hanging out with mates and chasing girls he would come home and spend every minute out of school mastering his skills. With support from his family and close friends, there has been no stopping in J-Rok from dominating the whole circuit.
