Born in Torino, Italy Dj Mesta began his music career at the age of 12 breakdancing and bodypopping. By 1989 he was a Dj, his Djing included clubs and mixtapes, in fact he pioneered the mixtape in Italy.

As his reputation grew he started promoting Hip Hop and R'nB
club nights throughout his country. The Italian music scene begun to appear small, so in 1993 he moved to London.

His talents as a Dj were quickly recognised and he was soon Djing for the UK Hip Hop group Bloodhoundz (Da Rezidenz). He then set up Money Game Entertainment, while working as a freelance record distributor and promoting records or looking after acts for Hardzone Promotions .

Spinning at gigs across London Mesta teamed-up with top Hip Hop Djs like Kofi (DMC UK champ) and Shortee Blitz (Kiss fm/Rawkus).
He opened nights for established international acts such us The Roots,
Djing alongside Jazzie B (Soul II Soul) and Derek B.
He established himself as a major UK tape-master and was soon selling mixtapes and Djing throughout Europe.

In 1997 Dj Mesta started a HNC course in Radio Production and Broadcasting which enabled him to think seriously about a career in broadcasting. Shortly after starting the course he began working for the Italian radio station Station One as UK correspondent. He also had a mix-show on Bristol station Passion fm and London Unique fm, while writing for AL, Italy's number one Hip Hop magazine and freelancing for various publications such as Echoes, the world’s largest black music weekly.

Tired of being based outside Italy, around 1998 Dj Mesta decided to strengthen the connection with his native country by booking tours for UK acts such as 57th Dynasty, promoting records and, of course, Djing. By the end of 1999 came the final decision: he decided to move back home with the ambition of becoming the top Italian connection for Urban music world-wide.

After managing Palazium - a night club based in Torino with a capacity
of 500 - and promoting live PA's featuring US Hip Hop pioneers like Doug E Fresh and Masta Ace, Dj Mesta has launched the
Money Game Record Pool.
