  • CIPHA SOUNDS

    Cipha Sounds is, and has always been, more than your average DJ. Over the course

    of his packed career, he has been responsible for breaking artists like Rihanna and
    Rick Ross, has shared the stage with some of the world’s biggest musicians and
    comedians – from Jay Z to Dave Chappelle – and has established himself as a
    respected figure in New York’s stand-up and improv scenes.


    Cipha got his start carrying crates and opening for Funkmaster Flex at renowned
    New York nightspots, the Tunnel and the Palladium, before his talent for song
    selection and infectious personality earned him a spot at Hot 97. There, he moved up
    the ranks from Flex’s intern, to running his own show “Cipha Saturdays,” to finally
    hosting the coveted morning show. During his 17 years at Hot 97, and as a host on
    Eminem’s Sirius satellite station Shade 45, he helped launch the careers of Rihanna,
    Rick Ross, 50 Cent, and Sean Paul.


    In addition to picking hits for the radio, Cipha’s keen ear also led him to work as an
    A&R executive for a number of record labels, including Jay Z’s Roc-A-Fella and
    Pharrell Williams’ Startrak imprint.


    Cipha’s well-known work ethic and unique ability to read any room has allowed him
    to rock clubs around the world, and has made him an obvious choice as a live DJ for
    many huge artists. He first hit the road as Lil Kim’s DJ on the
    Hardcore tour. Since
    then he has DJ’d for Mos Def, Jay Z and Rihanna, and at private parties for J.Lo,
    Mariah Carey, and more. He also serves as a brand ambassador for Monster Energy
    and the Japanese clothing company, A Bathing Ape (BAPE). For almost 10 years, he
    has curated monthly playlists for BAPE stores worldwide.


    Throughout Cipha’s many career turns, two elements have remained at the fore:
    comedy and hip-hop, his two biggest passions. On the radio, as a VJ for MTV, and
    as a Live DJ, he has always maintained a sharp sense of humor on the mic. He
    combined both fields as the official DJ for Comedy Central’s
    Chapelle’s Show, and
    has continued to work with Dave Chappelle ever since, joining him on tours as a DJ
    and opening comedian. He is a regular DJ at Saturday Night Live after parties, and
    appeared in Michael Che’s Netflix Special. He is now Che’s go-to DJ and opening act
    on the road.


    Cipha provides an essential link between music and comedy in New York and
    beyond. He performs standup comedy at clubs around the city, including the
    legendary Comedy Cellar, ands hosts “Take it Personal – The Hip Hop Improv
    Show,” at UCB every Friday night. “Take it Personal,” has featured many celebrity
    guests, including Questlove, DJ Premier, The Wu-Tang Clan, Zoe Kravitz, Donald
    Glover, and 2Chainz. It is a featured TV show on Jay Z’s streaming service TIDAL.


    Cipha is currently signed to Roc Nation management, and is hosting the
    first season of Tru TV’s new show
    Laff Mobb’s Laff Tracks, debuting Jan 3rd 2018.
