DJ E-Boogie
DJ + EMCEE | Academy
Hailing from the “City of Brotherly Love” this West Philly native has been blessing the “Wheels of Steel” for over 20+ years, fueled by his genuine love of music and the influence of some of the biggest names in the DJ arena. Shortly after relocating to Washington, DC, DJ E-Boogie set out to blaze his own trail in the world as a hip-hop DJ; some of his milestones include being a recipient of the UIMA (Urban Independent Music Awards) for DJ of the Year in 2004, spinning at major hotspots in the DC metro area as well as playing for crowds nationwide as part of the latin hip-hop powerhouse CRISTOPOLIS. He has earned several nominations for the mixtape awards online, which include: Rookie of the Year, Best New Mixtape DJ, Best East Coast Mixtape DJ and Best Blends Mixtape DJ.
When asked how he viewed himself in this challenging and ever-changing market of being a DJ, he says, “I view myself as a survivor in this game, I come from an era where if you called yourself a DJ, you had the power to take the crowd musically where ever you wanted to and they would follow no questions asked.
Nowadays everything is so programmed especially now that the digital age is so commonplace, I still use vinyl, even though I use the Serato software, vinyl is where it all started from, that’s the essence." Currently E-Boogie is holding down several residencies in the DMV area, as well as being the show and tour DJ for DC hip-hop legend Priest Da Nomad, along with being a session DJ for independent R&B and hip-hop artists in the area and nationwide.
