“It’s really awesome to see her talents getting recognition on such a national level. We couldn’t be more proud of DJ Young 1 for this event and all of her accomplishments!” – DJ Spark
DJ Young 1 has already made several high-profile appearances in her career, including Supperclub San Francisco, Pride Celebrations in Los Angeles and Oakland, and a spotlight on the Queen Latifah Show. She’s also made a cameo appearances in the music video for Jessica Sanchez’s “Tonight” featuring Ne-Yo, and competed on NBC’s America’s Got Talent.
A Stanton endorsed artist, DJ Young 1’s musical influence dates back to her mom, Ellen, who played jazz and hip-hop throughout her pregnancy. DJ Young 1 credits Charlie Parker, The Ohio Players, Grandmaster Flash, Jam Master Jay and Run-D.M.C. as sources of inspiration.
