Let?s Welcome Bernard Skelton

Bernard Skelton Over the years, many DJ?s have come and gone. Many have left indelible marks on the minds of their fans.

In recent times, one of the new generation DJ?s carving a niche for himself is Skelton who has moved the music industry to another level and made a name for himself as one of the hottest DJ?s on the world stage.

Born Bernard Skelton, he has roots in London, seeds in Virgin Islands and marks on U.S.A. Undaunted by experimenting, Skelton blurs the boundaries of the dance floor, acting as a catalyst for burgeoning musical styles.

He has gone on to rack up an impressive r?sum?, being billed at larger festivals. The sensational DJ attended St John?s University, University of the West Indies and has Certificates of Merit in Public Relations, Television, News Writing and Production.

The one time production assistant of Cosby Show, New Jack City and Juice is presently the (GIS) Government Information Officer, Public relations officer for the Civil Service Association in Virgin Islands, Founder and Public relations Officer of the African Studies Klub in Virgin Islands.

Though his name is buzzing via the radio, Skelton is somewhat of an old hand on the decks. He got his start in 1986 on WSJU radio where he was an announcer and sports caster.

With encouragements from various areas, he grew comfortable playing for the audience and listeners. He began to get bookings independently and started to DJ for the Jamaican community.

Upon relocating to New York in 1990, he quickly integrated himself into Inner City Broadcasting Corporation as a programming assistant.

After conquering New York, Skelton relocated to Virgin Islands as a DJ of ZBVI, a move that stemmed from DJing appearances at various places.

Skelton is one who likes to be in the midst of progression, expand tourism for most countries as well as provide quality entertainment at a reasonable rate for various countries by touring with most local artistes like Batman, VIP, Obour, Tic Tac and international artistes nationwide.

As a result of this, Vice Squad Productions came into existence. For more information on Vice Squad Productions, contact Bernard Skelton on (284) 495 9440/496 6756 or Titus (representative of Vice Squad Productions in Ghana) on 233 24 4294 936.
