DJ Van Tell began his turntable career at the age of 17 in Brooklyn, New York, where he got his first gig at a youth center. A short time later he laid in a U.S. officers’ club. Army, and was hired as a radio DJ by Manhattan radio station 92KTU.

His father’s military career finally brought DJ Van Tell to Berlin in 1989, where his name quickly spread in the club scene. At first he demonstrated his skills primarily in U.S. armed forces clubs such as Silver Wings, Friendship, Checkpoint, and Harnack House. At the same time, he set out to conquer Berlin discos such as Chic, Silver Shadow, One Way and Afro Negro.
