DJ Quik stepped into the world of music at the age of 2 – David’s mother was from a musical background and therefore he was an effortless player of musical instruments by the age of 12, and amused himself compiling mixtapes, after which there was no looking back. In 1990, Quik made his debut with the album ‘Quik is the Name’ after he had signed with Priority Records. The album was a hit as it not only went on to be platinum, but further contributed to generate another set of blockbusters i.e. Tonite and Born and Raised in Compton. However, this was not enough for Quik – he released three back-to-back albums: ‘Way 2 Fonky’ (1992), ‘Safe and Sound’ (1995), and ‘Rhythm- al- ism’ (1998). All these works had a big hand behind the net worth that he was building.

Tone!’, ‘2 Pac’, ‘The Luniz’, ‘Jermaine Dupri’, ‘Deborah Cox’, ‘Shaquille O’Neal’, ‘Snoop Dogg’, ‘Mausberg’, ‘Jay-Z’ and his experiences are never-ending Later he only picked work for established artists and produced only selective stuff.
