K.McClellan first began listening to Techno in 1991 after listening to a couple Various Artist Techno tapes he found while browsing through the dance section at a local music store. Soon after Keith was introduced to the sound of Digital Hardcore by a DJ friend who at the time had been playing a random mixtape recorded by R.A.W. in 1992 one afternoon after school. He knew at that instance that Hardcore was the sound he had been looking for all along. By 1994 Keith had started his own record collection on vinyl and soon after began learning how to DJ, he played at random house parties and Raves whenever he could to gain experience. In 1997 K.McClellan began playing under the Artist alias "Cetra" and released his first professional DJ Mixtape to the public entitled "Hardcore Reality". The tape was an instant success and enjoyed by many Hardcore listeners and other DJs alike leading to the eventual booking of many large scale events.
From 1997 through 2001 Keith continued to play at over 100 Rave parties and Clubs traveling to many Cities and States in the US such as Arizona, Indianapolis and more. In 2005 K.McClellan collaborated with another DJ (Twilight) to create a mixed cd entitled "Disasterpiece" which was soon after submitted as a DJ Demo to Rige Entertainment in Holland. After reviewing the CD Rige Entertainment offered the opportunity to come play in Enschede, NL on New Years Eve at one of the largest organized digital hardcore events in the world "Megarave". Cetra has shared the stage with some of the most talented Hardcore Artists in the world such as Shadowlands Terrorists, Neophyte, DJ Isaac, Delta 9, Delirium, Buzz Fuzz, The Reactor, Double D, DJ Tron, Mike Oh' Man, Ophidian, D-Passion, DJ Inyoung and many more. K.McClellan is now actively pursuing the creation of his own tracks as a Producer to take his music career as a Digital Hardcore Artist to a new level.
