Biography
DJ RAP
BULLETPROOF
For years, DJ RAPs fans have been eagerly anticipating her new drum & bass album. Now their wishes are about to be fulfilled as the First Lady of Jungle is set to storm America with BULLETPROOF, due for release on May 17, 2005.
Always an innovator, DJ RAP dares to break down barriers by pulling elements of rock, trance, and house into the drum & bass format. On BULLETRPROOF, DJ RAP delivers a blistering mix of 10 hard hitting tracks in a hybrid artist album/compilation format that features 6 brand new original DJ RAP productions and 2 new DJ RAP remixes of tracks by Ferry Corsten and Erick Morillo, alongside drum & bass favorites from Konflict and Concord Dawn.
DJ RAP has been the undisputed queen of the turntables and the number one female DJ in the world, simultaneously a label owner, producer, and recording artist. She has been a prime mover, the prime female mover in fact, on the jungle and drum & bass scene. Six years ago her first album, LEARNING CURVE, was released on Sony in the UK and on Columbia Records in the USA and ended up selling hundreds of thousands of copies worldwide. She has many seminal dance classics to her credit, with several mix compilation CDs, and upwards of 20 releases on her own drum & bass imprint, PROPER TALENT.
Born Charissa Saverio to an Italian father and an Irish-Malaysian mother in Singapore, DJ RAP spent her childhood traveling the world - Indonesia, Malta and Africa were all home for a while. As a child her two loves were playing piano and horse-riding. She'd practice the piano six hours a day and spend the rest of her time in the stables dreaming of being a pianist. When the family moved to Southampton, England in her early teens, she discovered pop music for the first time and after leaving school took time out to travel the world, backpacking through Greece, Turkey and Europe. She eventually returned to London and joined a legal firm, first as a secretary, then training to become a lawyer. Her life, for the first time in years, seemed to be following a normal, everyday course. It was from this bliss that Charissa morphed into DJ RAP. "She ditched her job, kicked out her difficult boyfriend and discovered raves."
"I can remember when my biggest dream was to be on a Raindance flyer," she closes."Once I'd achieved that I found myself constantly on the look out for other things tostimulate and motivate me. From as far back as I can remember, my goal has been tosing songs to huge audiences but if someone would have asked me ten years ago thatDJ-ing would open those doors for me - I wouldn't have believed it. Although I reallyenjoy touring and singing with the band, the best part of what I do is when I get up thereand play great records - I'm a DJ at heart - I just want to get the crowd moving."
