Whether he’s spinning hip hop, rap, top 40, electro, dance hall, r&b, or rock, he believes a real DJ can play anything and play for anybody.

“If it’s a crowd of 50 or 5000 a true DJ can rock the crowd regardless. Believing that music is more of a language spoken and understood across society, race or differences, music is the bridge that gathers us all. Today’s DJ, in my opinion, is the modern day composer.” – Joe Vega
