DJ Bonez has been described as being at "the forefront of Australian DJ'ing culture as a performer and also catering to DJ's worldwide with break beats and scratch records".
Bonez began creating four-track mix tapes and CDs for the underground hip-hop scene in the late 1980s, while studying at high school.By the age of 17, hands, he had expanded his skills and started performing as a club and scratch DJ in venues across Australia.
In 1995, Bonez made the transition to producer. Having honed his skills as a DJ, he performed turntable trick routines and began producing battle records. By 1997, Bonez had made a name for himself, appearing in a documentary, Basic Equipment, made by Paul Fenech.
In 1999, Bonez started making beats with a group named the Dominion Crew. He also supported groups from the USA who toured Australia, including DJ'ing for artists such as Murs, AceyAlone, Diverse and Mr. Liff, amongst others.
