Known for his electrifying and upbeat Jersey Club music, DJ Express – a Puerto Rican DJ born and raised in New Jersey – has carved out a significant niche for himself in the music industry. He is not just a DJ and a producer, but also a figure with thousands of streams across various platforms, including Spotify.
DJ Express’s Origins
DJ Express is an independent DJ and producer from Bridgewater, New Jersey. His first forays into music began when he was just fourteen. His father – who worked as a DJ in New York City – inspired DJ Express to follow in his footsteps to learn to DJ and produce music. He currently produces every song from scratch from start to finish, which allows his fans to feel not just his energy, but inspiration in every beat.
DJ Express’s professional journey is tied to New York’s Power 105.1 FM station, where he operates as a board operator for several shows, some of which include “The Breakfast Club,” the “DJ Clue Show,” and “Way Up With Yee.” However, his work also extends to on-air talent on “DJ Self Show,” as well as promotional work he has done for iHeart Radio. His involvement with these prominent productions showcases not just his versatility, but his impact on the urban music industry.
DJ Express’s Philanthropic Work
DJ Express has taken his influence beyond music and has ventured into humanitarian work. Partnering with the Dominican Republic military, DJ Express has been escorted through the project of Villa Duarte in Santo Domingo and has given food to those in need. His presence, coupled with the security and organization of the Dominican Republic military, has ensured that the food distribution was efficient and impactful. Residents of Villa Duarte welcomed this initiative with open arms, which brought not only essential supplies, but joy and hope to a struggling community.
A recentInstagram post from DJ Express’s official profile highlights how he was able to experience the Dominican Republic in what he calls “a whole different aspect of life.” He states that, while visiting, he was able to assist a family ministry under the name “El Puede,” which means, “He is able.”
“[The visit] was a reminder of how good we have it,” DJ Express reflected on Instagram.
DJ Express’s journey has shown that the music industry, as well as those within it, can have great impacts and make significant differences to communities around the world. Whether he’s making beats at home in New Jersey, or helping with humanitarian efforts in the Dominican Republic, DJ Express has shown that he is dedicated to inspiring and uplifting others through not just his music, but his actions as well.
