“I’ve had a passion for music since I was a kid. I remember getting my first record player for Christmas, when I was eight,” says Brent Faddies, known to dance floor audiences as DJ BFAD. “I used to sit for hours and just play records, and bring it in for show and tell in school.” Brent’s passion for music flourished as he grew up, fuelling his success as one of the Lower Mainland’s best DJs.
“Music was always my thing, I was always known for music,” Brent says. “It was just a natural progression to turn it into a career.” After moving to London to chase the music dream, Brent spent years working in a record store. It’s where he built his vast and comprehensive musical tastes and knowledge. When he moved back to Canada Brent decided it was time for DJ BFAD to take over.
“So many huge DJs used to come into the record store, I’d see what they were buying, hear their tricks,” he says, “and I knew I had to do it.”
