MEETING PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON
I DJ'd a holiday party for Red Light/ATO records where Hannah, President Clinton's advisor was in attendance. She liked my set and asked if I would like to DJ for The Clinton Foundation since they had a few events coming up. I was in shock!
CATCH ME AT THE GRAMMYS
My dad calls me and says, “We got a call to perform at the Official Grammys after-party… you want to go?”
Hell yeah! I'm on my way to the Grammy’s weekend, where all the celebs go to hang out and be cool.
IS THAT TORY BURCH WITH DJ PRINCE HAKIM?
