 Grandmaster Flash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grandmaster Flash (born Joseph Saddler on January 1, 1958 in Barbados) is a hip hop musician and DJ; one of the pioneers of hip-hop DJing, cutting, and mixing.
The speed and dexterity needed showed why Saddler was called Flash, although he got the nickname in school due to the fact that he hung around with another guy named Gordon (from Flash Gordon).
The classic "The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel," released in 1981 was the best display of their skills (combing elements of Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust", CHIC's "Good Times" and samples from Blondie's Rapture), but it was their least successful single at the time.

Throughout the 1990s, Flash was fairly off the radar, reappearing once in a while in the second half of the decade.

 Interview - Grandmaster Flash, DJ, London
Born in Barbados and raised in the Bronx, Joseph was weaned on the mid-70s block parties of early heroes Cool Herc and Peter DJ Jones.
Locking himself away for a year, the teenager honed their rough-and-ready DJing skills, finding a way to mix break beats together without jumping a beat, and mastering the art of spinning the same record on two turntables and cutting them together to prolong the funkiest break on a track.
The worshipping, arm-waving crowd at Flash's MoS (Review - Info) gig the night before our interview (many of who were not yet born when Flash first took to the decks) had proven this.
