DJ KAYPER presents her self-titled show every Friday night on the BBC Asian Network from 10pm - 1am.
DJ Kayper became involved in the hip hop movement at a very young age. She would later show the world that females have a rightful place behind the decks. Given the nickname Kayper in high school because of her mischievous reputation, she channelled her naughty behaviour onto the turntables and has become one of the most talented DJs across the globe.
Heavily influenced by legendary DJ Jazzy Jeff, she mastered the art of turntablism at a young age and artfully merged beat juggling and scratch techniques with prime time club DJ sets. Her skills caught the attention of Jazzy Jeff himself who is quoted saying “DJ Kayper is the best female DJ that I“ve ever heard in my life!”
Kayper began deejaying at the age of 12. Blending classic and current Hip-Hop, R&B, Reggae/Dancehall, 80s, Rock and Soul with an expertise of Bhangra and Bollywood, she has achieved an unmatched level of versatility.
By the age of 15, she began her climb to the top playing in bars and clubs around South London. Her keen sense of crowd control and music choice made her the most sought after DJ by club promoters in London, Birmingham, Leicester, Manchester and other major cities in the UK.
This continued hype caught the attention of international urban promoters and led her to rock crowds globally in Switzerland, Greece, Ibiza, Mauritius, Canada, Dubai, South Africa, Austria, New York and India. In 2003, she achieved an enormous milestone in her career after becoming the first female ever to win the Vestax Juice DJ competition. Kayper showcased her talents at the UK Asian Music Awards back to back in 2004 & 2005 and continues to play many club nights across the country. She has been nominated in the Best Club DJ Category at the UK Asian Music Awards in 2008, 2009, 2010.
