Grandmaster Flash, real name Joseph Robert Saddler, is a Barbadian-American DJ considered one of the founding fathers of hip hop music. Born in Barbados in 1958, he moved to the United States at the age of seven and began his musical career in New York clubs in the late 1970s. Flash is known for inventing several scratching and mixing techniques such as cutting, backspinning, and punch-praising, which revolutionized DJing and influenced generations of hip hop artists. Among his most representative tracks are "The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel", "Scorpio" and "Superrappin". In 1980 he formed the Furious Five, with whom he achieved international success thanks to the track "The Message", considered by many the first true rap anthem. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with prominent artists such as The Sugarhill Gang, Run-DMC and LL Cool J. Grandmaster Flash was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007.
