Bio
In his ten years behind the decks, DJ Brian ‘Docta’ Dawe, has experienced things some artists only fantasize about – and others that would make most DJs throw in the towel.
Hailing from Orlando, Florida, Dawe’s on-cue mixing, diverse track selection, and scratching techniques are what set this veteran apart from your average nightclub DJ. His turntable style and original exclusive remixes have made him a staple in the Florida nightclub scene. Well-versed in multiple genres, Dawe can rock your party with house, indie-electro, hip-hop, rock, old-school, open format, or anything else with a beat.
Brian entered the DJ game in 2000, where little did he know a visit to a local pawnshop would change everything. That was the day he made the best investment of his life: two used Gemini turntables and an old Radio Shack mixer for $200. Like most kids, he went home and played all night and into the next day. He was hooked. At 17, He was exposed to electronic music for the first time, and spent most of his time buying the records he heard in the club at the local record store. He dove head first into the rave scene, playing at legendary raves such as “Liquified”, “Imagine”, and “The Turntables Massacre”. And that’s where the ruckus on the dance floor began.
After eleven years of hard work and dedication behind the tables, Brian ‘Docta’ Dawe has established himself as one of the most noteworthy names in the southeastern nightclub circuit. He has been very active as a DJ, radio host, remix producer, event organizer, and promoter throwing hundreds of parties and playing over a thousand events. He has played multiple events with MTV and VH1 show cast members, Playboy playmates, and spun vinyl alongside or opened for countless popular acts. Rihanna, Ke$ha, Steve Aoki (twice), Avicii, Travie McCoy, Gabe Saporta of Cobra Starship, Hyper Crush, Wolfgang Gartner, Ladytron, and 2 Live Crew are just a small sampling of artists he has shared the stage with.
Dawe has rocked some of the biggest venues in the southeast including House of Blues Orlando, Ford Amphitheater Tampa, Beacham Theater Orlando, and Mekka Miami. He was the runner-up in the Orlando Redbull Thr3style contest (losing only to the nationwide contest winner) and a three time Ultra Music Festival performer. Dawe currently holds five DJ residencies across Florida including the world-renowned Icebar, Orlando.
His trademark crowd-hyping, fist-pumping antics have become some of the most influential sights and sounds in Florida, from coast to coast. As of the summer of 2011, Dawe, a two time cancer survivor is healthy as ever. His focus continues to be on making music and living life to the fullest.
