DJ LIL DIRTY

DJ LIL DIRTY was born on 3 March 1980 as Ivo Zaricin in Ohrid, Republic of Macedonia. Nine years later, he moved with his family to Austria where he finished high school.
Lil dirty realised in the early 90’s the passion for dancing and was inspired by world stars like Michael Jackson and MC Hammer.
He earned his first pocket money by giving dancing lessons and making choreographies for various school performances. 
At the age of 15 he experienced a giant stride towards DJ’ing and entertainment. He was offered a job as a DJ in a youth center and could improve himself as an entertainer and dancer.
At the age of 17 he was the background dancer for various Austrian and German dance floor groups. Up to the age of 19 he was more interested in dancing as for DJ’ing and won lots of dance battles. 
His personal highlight was the first prize at the 1999 Austrian Freestyle Competition, but because of a shoulder injury he had to abandon his dancing career and was forced to realign himself. 
“I love music and it doesn’t matter what kind of music unless it sounds good! My dream was to make music and to be successful, I can say that this dream saved my life.” said LIL DIRTY.
In 2002 he founded “Dirty South Entertainment”…
“At the beginning, I had an idea… I wanted to mount a hot and excessive party – a Dirty South Party”, but it ended not only with a party. The Dirty South Party became the most successful Urban Club Party Entertainment in the south of Austria.
LIL DIRTY worked from 2002 until today, together with numerous artists and stars like Stereo MC, Coolio, K.I.Z., Francisco, DJ Tommek etc.
Ivo aka Lil Dirty concentrates on DJ’ing since 2008 and came to the fore of Austria’s Club Scene. Not only is he working with Black Music but also Austria’s Latino Scene makes him glow.
This is the reason for being the tour DJ for various Latino artists like NIPO, Bandi2, Mozart La Para etc.
In 2009 DJ LIL DIRTY had his first chart success with „Feeling Good“, where he made the hook for hip hop artist Canice.
Canice & Stiffla’s new album “Tornado Lifestyle” will be out in September 2010 and LIL DIRTY will also appear in some tracks.
A party mix tape with DJ TOMMEK & DJ LIL DIRTY will be released in October 2010, produced by Boogie Down Berlin for Dirty South Entertainment.
“Music brings people & cultures together without even realising that!”
