BIO
I have been DJ’ing recreationally since the age of 15, and professionally for the past 15 years. I initially began by making mixed tapes for friends, family and for myself. Shortly thereafter, I began DJing house parties and family events, and it grew from there. With the aid of several mentors, it grew from a hobby into a lifelong passion. Some of my performances include, but are not limited to: Hampton University, Coppin State University, Bowie State University and Howard University. I worked at Howard University’s AM station (WHBC 830) for two years. I’ve worked at the following nightclubs: Eden’s Lounge, E-Villa, Club 347, The Brickhouse, Sistah’s Place (formerly Nick’s Place), Gordon’s, 5 Mile House, Silver Shadows, The Red Door Lounge, New Haven Lounge, Club 810, The Indian Pavilion, The New 5 Seasons, Kamp, TD Lounge, The Good Luv, PUR Ultra Lounge, Rain Lounge, The Museum, Oxygen Lounge, Melba’s Place and Monarch’s as well as several venues/ nightclubs in Miami. I have worked with and done parties for Troy Johnson of 92Q FM, Tim Watts of 95.9 FM, Elijah Cummings (Del.), The Line Dance Happy Hour with Randy Dennis of 95.9 FM and have performed on both holiday weekend mixes on Magic 95.9 in 2006 (Memorial and Labor Day) as well as current happy hours at The Mirage. I’ve also performed at the crab feast for the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. for the past eight years as well as Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc., and Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. I’ve done the Poly City Tailgate party near the stadium and their all years reunion cookout at Pataspco State Park. I’ve also participated in the 2014 ACR Conference and am currently working with the FAZAFAM/ Dance & BMore organization. I have done countless wedding receptions, family reunions, and have worked directly with several Baltimore City and County Public Schools.
Specialties: I specialize in Club/ Lounge, Weddings, and Fashion Show events. I am very knowledgeable in many genres of music, specifically Top 40, R&B, Jazz, Hip Hop, Neo Soul, Reggae, Old School, House and Baltimore Club. I am familiar with different musical formats and will use these to enhance any event. I have developed an art called “quick transition” or “flipping”. This style allows me to play records back to back in a short period of time. This is done mostly when doing a flashback “set” or segment; an example being old school hip hop or 80’s music. I utilize this technique to increase my listener’s momentum.
Personality: The name “Droopy” is a nickname given to me by family and friends. It has been said I act like the cartoon character above, quiet but never shy. I’m very outgoing, but my personality is not outrageous. I am a people person, dependable, punctual and organized. I see what I do, not as what I do, but who I am. Music is my passion and playing music is something I love doing.
