Even as a young boy just learning drums, Dmitri Vaganov (a.k.a., DJ Dima) knew that the beat was part of what defined him. Shortly after moving to the USA at age 16 from his birthplace in Moscow, Russia, he became heavily involved in the music scene. He was deeply immersed in producing and DJing at local clubs. It was his obsession. This secular lifestyle, however, took a heavy toll on him and after experimenting with drugs, alcohol, and other sinful aspects of the clubbing life, he finally found something else in his life that truly defined him--Jesus Christ.

This turnaround marked the beginning of a new directive in his life and in his music. He is now a man with a beat and a testimony of what God can do with a broken life. DJ Dima is best known for his 4-track EP release on Deep Life Records, "Every Knee & Every Tongue".

He currently resides in Philadelphia, PA.
