DJ Still Wil exemplifies the meaning of a hard working, versatile dj in many different ways.

With all his various efforts Still Will proves why he is one of the best dj's in the dj community.
Born and raised in Oxnard, Ca., the 24 year old Still Wil began djing at the age of 14. He was first influenced by his older brother, and his brother's record collection during the late 80's. Most notable was a record by Marley Marl that incorporated the artform of dj's scratching. After that djing became a hobby for Still Wil and it soon influeneced him to enter dj battles. He has won titles on the battle circuit, including first place at "The Mighty 4 Skractch Off" conducted by the now historic Invisible Skratch Piklz and Urb Magazine. Still Will also won back to back titles in the KoolMixx competition in 1999 & 2000. With his reputation continually growing DJ Still Wil and his dj crew(IF2) have blasted onto the national scene.
Now pursuing a completely different form of djing, Still Wil has ventured onto commerical radio. After only 2 years in the radio industry, Still Wil holds down the 7pm-11pm mix-show Monday thru Friday on KCAQ 104.7fm .
