On today’s episode, I’m sitting down with DJ Drew—a heavy hitter on the 1s and 2s with roots that run deep in NYC’s DJ culture. Son of legendary NY DJ Ross The Boss (WKTU / 103.5), Drew grew up watching the game from backstage before he ever touched a controller. Now he’s headlining major stages, rocking rooms nationwide, and curating his own spaces for DJs to connect and elevate.
We talk about building confidence in your craft, breaking into new markets, networking the right way, bouncing back when sets don’t go as planned, and why showing up for other DJs still matters in today’s industry.
We also get into his recent DJ Meetup event on Staten Island, how it came together, and what’s next for the movement.
PLUS — stay till the end to hear DJ Drew close out the episode with a live set. A dope convo on hustle, community, elevation—and making your mark in this business without losing who you are.
