Partygoers Island-wide have been captivated by the infectious vibes of dancehall veteran DJ Super C. Even those who have not been fortunate enough to experience his hypnotic beats at one of his many gigs may be familiar with his style - he is one of the pioneers in the development of sound systems on the Island.
“I am aware that my current has helped to shape the musical river and landscape here in Cayman,” he says.
Born on 24 September, 1973, and raised in George Town, Cachas Stewart is well known for his love of old school music and has been spinning tunes for audiences in Cayman for over 20 years.
It is this love of old school hits and anthems that has claimed him so many titles in DJ clashes.
The self-taught DJ says he was inspired by StoneLove, Killamanjaro and Silver Hawk sound systems and by the time he got his first set of decks at the age of 14, he had developed a penchant for selecting the right music for an audience.
Super C also apprenticed alongside some of the best in the business. This had a profound influence on his development and helped shape his career.
“Partnering with Studio One in the late 1980s was a great learning experience. It taught me all the minor details of the discipline,” he recalls, adding that he made the tough decision to go solo in the early 90s.
A 2007 Heineken Green Synergy winner, as well as the winner of the Northern Caribbean Regional in that same year, Super C has hosted his own radio show on HOT 104.1FM over the past three years.
He can be heard every Sunday night from 6pm to 12am on Rockers Island where he spins smooth dancehall, roots rock reggae, culture and easy listening.
“I am delighted to see how music has progressed while seeing people through so many changes. It is truly an honour to have such a profession,” says Super C. WH
