Joseph Saddler. DJ / producer of Barbadian origin most famous for his role in DJ & HipHop history, and for fronting who became the first Hip Hop act to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, in 2007. Born on January 1, 1958, in Barbados, West Indies, he moved with his family to New York City in the early 1960s. Flash was influenced by the block parties and their DJs in his Bronx neighborhood. He took DJ Kool Herc's "merry go round" technique (which consisted of taking the break off of a record and looping it) and then added Grand Wizard Theodore's scratch technique and merged both styles into each other. This was later referred to as 'cutting the break'.
