For over a decade now, DJ Said of Fatsouls Records has successfully shown his dedication to music through his extraordinary events, music production and DJ skills. He has brought soulful East Coast-meets-Africa brand of percussion-based deep house to a distinct slice of the underground.

His main influence is derived from Afrobeat, Highlife Jazz, Juju, and other music from his Yoruba root and numerous global music which he absorbed during his formative years. As a teenager, Said sorted after his sibling’s extraordinary musical interests and record collection. During the period, Said was quite connected to his neighbors, Fela Kuti's family organization. In 1984, Said moved from his hometown Lagos, Nigeria to England as a scholar. While in England, he gained a vast knowledge of the London club scene through direct experience and connections. When Said moved to the US in 1988, he became extremely close to the work of some the legendary artist whose music he played during his formative years. While getting an academic business education, Said maintained a strong presence in the San Francisco and New-York's underground club scene. By 1995, Said began residencies and guest appearances at clubs and private parties in the San Francisco Bay Area, New York and beyond. In 1999, Said launched Fatsouls Productions, a super sonic campaign outlet.

Fatsouls’ presentation of an extraordinary rotation of world class artist created a new nightlife scene in San Francisco that others have since attempted to emulate. Fatsouls events have been featured in URB Magazine, Straight No Chaser, San Francisco Bay Guardian, as well as in various local and international publications.
