Steve Aoki (1977 1 1.30) was born in Miami, Florida, USA. He is an American DJ and music producer. Dj308.com Qingfeng DJ Network.

Steve Aoki, the owner of the brand, combined the musical tastes of "rock and electronic dance music" to make the electronic dance music style from London to LA more popular. It's no secret that Steve Aoki is willing to cross-border design with his favorite brand. He has cooperated with Diesel to launch Dim Mak x Diesel sweater, and also cooperated with Ksubi to launch Dimmak for Ksubi sunglasses, which injected his own personality into these famous fashion brands. However, Steve Aoki also admitted that he was only a guest designer.

Steve Aoki Dimak, a label with dual identities of record and clothing, literally translates as "point pulse", which is also "point acupuncture" in Chinese as its name implies. The person who takes care of Dimak is Steve Aoki, a famous rich second generation from California. His life experience and the process of creating DimMak are quite representative among young dancers: he has a prominent celebrity family background and supermodel sister Devon Aoki.

Like his alias KidMillionaire, Aoki was destined to be a millionaire from birth. His notorious father, Rocky Aoki, is a former Japanese wrestler and rower. After immigrating to the United States, he opened a Japanese teppanyaki restaurant chain, Benihama, which was popular in the United States, and accumulated tens of millions of dollars in wealth and a dozen beautiful ex-wives. SteveAoki and twelve other brothers and sisters inherited the wealth of his father Rocky. Obviously, Steve and Devon are the two most rebellious and different brothers and sisters. Devon became a model and Steve became a DJ. However, our Steve is definitely not a rich second generation who grew up in a honey pot, and he has also experienced a very difficult road to music. In the Aoki family, many children are spying on the property of old Loki, and family disputes continue, and even a famous poisoning incident happened. Of all the brothers and sisters, Steve is the favorite successor of old Loki. Unfortunately, when he was young, he was not interested in teppanyaki at all, but he always fell in love with music and gave up the opportunity to inherit his family business. 1996, he started playing truant behind his father's back, set up DimMak brand, and made some burnt things to sell to gangs in China. He thought he could make money by selling CDs on the street, but he couldn't do it at all.

At the same time, Rocky's father was very angry with Steve for going to music and cut off his source of life, hoping to force his son to give up his musical dream. Fortunately, Steve's mother (the N-th wife of old Loki) has always been very supportive of her son, often secretly giving him money to buy all kinds of music equipment, and also keeping him from starving without financial resources. It is said that Steve could only play music in a strip club run by some Mexicans outside Los Angeles at his worst, and he was forced to learn to speak Mexican. According to Steve's own words: "I chose to make music, so I have been insisting." I am quite stubborn! " "

Just when Steve and his Dimak were devastated, Devon, an old sister who was already famous in the modeling field, stepped forward and lent her real estate loan to her brother to make a recording studio. Helpless, because Steve just signed a lot of penniless bands with his own musical taste, without considering commercial factors at all, so that Dimak borrowed six figures at once. Fortunately, Steve had a good eye at that time, although he had no money. The "bad bands" he signed at that time have now become the stars sought after by a new generation of young people without exception: BlocParty, Klaxons, TheRakes, TheVonBondies, Envy, FromMonumenttoMassed, TheGossip, The Killings, OhNo! OnMy！ , TheIcarusLine, PonyUp, Scanner, Whitey-any of these names can cause a sensation in every city and music festival from Europe to the United States. -DJ station
