The founding father of Jamkam Entertainment Todd McGill also known as D.J. Todd-Love received the love for music at a very young age. Growing up in Brooklyn, N.Y. with his mother who played music constantly. They listened to classic r&b, disco, jazz and rock-n-roll on his mom's old record player. When records werent playing he would listen to music on WBLS with the classic D.J. Franky Crocker. At every angle music was a part of Todd's life.
He first got the D.J. bug in 1978 at the age of 12. At that time Hip Hop was making it's first impressions on New York and the world. Todd was learning how to mix break beats with his friend and teacher on technique direct drive turntables. In 1980 he enrolled at Bishop Loughlin H.S. where he joined the performing arts club. There he learned more about music and sound. He became the head sound engineer, mixing sound for the school productions of major Broadway plays such as "The Wiz" and "Guys and Dolls". Also for the first time D.J. Todd-Love played music in front of his peers and learned of his talent to move the crowd with music.
In 1985 after entering New York Institute of Technology he enrolled as a member of the campus radio station and became one of the radio personalities. It was at that environment where Todd learned to play for large crowds. Fine-tuning his skills on the one-n-two's for the next four years he played for many campus parties and even help start a promotion club called "Progressive Dance Force Productions".
In 1989 with two of his childhood friends, they started a mobile disc jockey service called "MCM Productions". From scratch they built a repritable sound system. Building their clientel from nothing, MCM layed down the foundation for what is today known as "Jamkam Entertainment". The rest is history.
