DJ Scene, born Brian Alex Herwander, is an Everett, Washington native. He moved to Yakima, Washington at sixteen, where he purchased his first turntables. However, his initial plan was not DJing in clubs- he was a drummer in a small band and thought the addition of scratching would bring a unique sound to the band.

DJ Scene moved to Seattle, Washington at age eighteen, where his career started to take off. His first weekly radio show was with DJ B-Mello on KEXP-FM 90.3. Then after opening for 50 Cent in 2002, Scene was asked by KUBE to come try out as an on-air mixer. DJing had always been secondary prior to this point, but it began to take priority. He began mixing daily on the "Mixtape at 8" and soon started doing the "5 o'clock Traffic Jam" on Fridays. It wasn't long before XM Satellite Radio 67 ‘The City' approached Scene and began broadcasting his pre-recorded mixes nationally 5 days a week.
