about:
For Raggamuffin Whiteman aka Ragga Sound International, it all started when he went on a 1-year student exchange to Jamaica in ‘94 when he was only 17 years old.
That’s where he started mixing & where he really learned about reggae, dancehall & soca and was taught the skills from his friends at Innocence Disco.

Once back in Belgium he continued mixing reggae, dancehall, rnb & soca and also started writing his own lyrics and performing them whenever he’d mix at parties.

In ‘99 he went back to Jamaica for 5 months where he mixed at some gigs, won 2 DJ-battles on Irie FM and cut his first dubplates.
Once back in Belgium he really started working hard promoting reggae music and the Jamaican culture by organising parties (More Fire on the Coastline, etc), hosting his own radio show (’Yard Style FM’ on Radio URGent, since 2001), performing live, writing lyrics, mixing at various gigs (as Ragga Sound International or DJ Raggamuffin Whiteman), MC-ing for the Bazzheadz Kru (jungle) & Future World Funk, etc.

In November 2002, Raggamuffin Whiteman attended the Red Bull Music Academy in São Paulo, Brazil, where he linked up with a whole lot of other DJs & vocalists to discuss music and where he also got lots of gigs mixing & performing at hiphop clubs & reggae parties, MC-ing at drum ‘n’ bass raves and even mixing on Brazilian radio.

Raggamuffin Whiteman is now a well respected DJ mixing at urban clubs, underground events & major events & festivals like Reggae Geel Festival & Dour Festival.
Resident at Club Decadance (Gent), mixing regularly at VK (Brussels) & youll also find him mixing at lots of parties through the country and even across the borders.
He has mixed & performed in France, Germany, the Netherlands, UK, Spain, Jamaica, Brazil, Macedonia & Czech Republic, sharing stages with people like David Rodigan, Capleton, Lady Saw, Mr Vegas, Ward 21, Anthony B, Wayne Wonder, DJ Storm, Madlib,…
