DJ Boogz is a Bronx-born, HBCU-educated DJ, media personality, and cultural connector with over 15 years in the game. He launched his radio career at Kiss 101.7 in Delaware before contributing to DJ Self's night show on Power 105.1 and later joining Hot 97, steadily growing his presence from regional radio to one of the most influential platforms in hip-hop.

From the clubs of New York to international stages across Europe, Central America, and the Caribbean with stops in Romania, Germany, Honduras, Costa Rica, St. Lucia, and beyond, Boogz has built a global reputation as one of culture's most versatile voices. He has performed at landmark events including Beach Please in Romania, Hot 97's Summer Jam, Roots Picnic in Philadelphia, Dear Summer Festival in New York and Washington D.C., Delaware in the Park Festival, SXSW in Austin and Barclays Center in Brooklyn. A fixture at the legendary Rucker Park in Harlem and a yearly returning DJ at Delaware State University, Boogz holds long-standing residencies at some of New York's most respected venues earning loyalty from crowds that keep calling him back.

Boogz has surpassed 1 million streams with his musical releases including "Party & Cool" featuring legendary rapper Trina and accumulated over 1.5 million YouTube views with his podcast series In-Studio with DJ Boogz. The official DJ for platinum selling artists Bobby Shmurda and Driicky Graham, he has toured alongside both and performed at private industry events including a Rock the Bells dinner honoring Raekwon of Wu-Tang Clan. Brand partnerships with Grand Marnier, Shell, Wilson Sporting Goods, Trebel Music, Uncle Nearest and Verde by Fab further speak to his reach across culture and commerce. He has also worked with RTA, the culture-forward clothing brand, to help secure artists for their next major collaboration.

While most DJs stay behind the turntables, Boogz operates at a different level. He has worked alongside major record labels to help identify and facilitate deals for artists in both the Latin and American music space — quietly becoming one of the most connected figures at the intersection of sound, culture, and industry.

He is the creator and host of Principal For A Day, a groundbreaking YouTube series that has taken him into schools across 4 states, bringing in celebrities including Wale, Gillie the Kid, Buju Banton and Zeddy Will for real conversations with the next generation. Each visit earned an official state proclamation — a testament to the show's cultural impact. No stranger to the camera, Boogz has sat down with some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment including Dwight Howard, Baron Davis, Busta Rhymes among many others. He is also a published children's book author of I Can Speak Spanish Too!, a bilingual story rooted in the heart of the Bronx.

"I started with nothing but a vision in the Bronx and built my way to international stages across Europe, Central America and the Caribbean, Barclays Center, Hot 97 and a show that's changing lives in classrooms across the country. That's what the Bronx does — we figure it out."
