DJ Ekin has made a name for himself in the industry as one of the most diverse, hardworking, reliable, and energetic DJ's around. That’s why it's no surprise to see names such as, P. Diddy, Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Britney Spears, T.I., Beyonce', and Ludacris, on the extensive list of celebrities who he has had the opportunity to work with in his career. He is also no stranger to travel. He has hit stages throughout the East Coast, as well as overseas. His first booking as a professional DJ was in London, England.
DJ Ekin was born and raised in the Bronx, New York. His dad can be given credit for discovering this hot DJ. He gave Ekin his first set of turntables when he was only 12 years old. DJ Ekin has resided and worked in many of the nation's hot spots; including, New York, Atlanta, Miami, Chicago, Orlando, and now Tampa. No stranger to doing "big business," Ekin has been tapped by such major organizations as Anheuser Busch, Major League Baseball, Island Def Jam, Atlantic Records, & Finish Line (just to name a few) to assist in reaching their target markets. What makes DJ Ekin unique is that he always comes to the table with something to "add" to the plan.
DJ Ekin's talents extend far beyond the turntables. As President of "4Play Entertainment, LLC" he oversees the development of such projects as "DJ Ekin presents: MyPlace", (youtube.com/djekintv) where he serves as creator & Host. You can now catch his "MyPlace" brand as a recurring feature on BET's "The Deal" which airs nightly at 3am on the cable network. A proven team player, for six years he could be heard puttin’ it down across the airwaves of Clear Channel Radio's, "WBTP 95.7 the BEAT" in Tampa, FL where he juggled the duties of being an On-Air Jock, Mixshow Coordinator & Promotions Coordinator. He has even taken on the challenge of columnist with contributions to various online magazines, as well as his own bi-weekly blog; "The Connect." His most cherished accomplishment may be the development of his nonprofit organization, ConnXions (ConnXions.org); an organization geared toward teaching youth the power of "building relationships one handshake at a time." As Ekin states, "I look at every opportunity as a chance to solidify my position in the game."
