About Me
With over four decades immersed in the music industry, I’m CJ “DJ Cash” Banks — Owner, Producer, Engineer, and Instructor at All It Music.
My journey started behind the decks in high school and evolved into multitrack studio sessions, live broadcast sets, and mentorship of emerging talent. I specialize in bridging the creative and business sides of music: capturing sonic excellence in the studio, crafting commercially viable productions, and empowering artists with the marketing & branding strategies to thrive in today’s landscape.
Whether you’re an aspiring beat-maker, a label-ready artist, or an established performer looking to refresh your sound, I bring the clarity, industry insight and hands-on experience to guide you from vision to release.
Experience
My 40-year career spans roles as DJ, turntablist, studio engineer, executive producer, and music-business strategist. Highlights include:

Producing full-length albums for urban artists across hip-hop and R&B, applying advanced analog/digital hybrid chains and modern mixing techniques.
-
Serving as on-air talent and curator for All It Music’s sister station, All It Radio, where I launched and hosted signature shows like “Friday Night Warm-Up” and “Nuff’n Free Explicitly Underground Mix Show.”
