DJ Spider

Rhythm Chief

DJ Spider has transcended from a leading New York City nightclub disc jockey into an internationally recognized music producer. The Brooklyn native has studied the music of various genres including Afrobeats, HipHop, Dancehall Reggae, Soca, and Kompa. Learning how to rock a party as a DJ was foundational to his growth as a music producer.

He has curated musical playlists and appears live on internet radio stations such as Music Choice, Sirius XM & Pandora. He is currently a DJ and on-air personality with the online radio show TeamSoca.com live on Wednesdays from 7 - 8PM and Dash Radio App_Taste on Sundays from 7 - 8PM. He has been a guest DJ numerous times for Sirius XM Shade 45 station for #DaUnion Hour with celebrity host DJ Superstar Jay and holds affiliations with the College Club Kings and DaUnion DJ collectives.

The DJ/producer in the music industry has gained international recognition with countless selfproduced riddims that have hit the Top 10 Caribbean music charts.

In 2016, he produced the One O’Clock riddim which won the Bashment Soca Competition in Barbados with the single Tek Off Something by recording artist Stiffy. Its international success continued with the hit single Bang Bim by soca artist Marzville. Bang Bim has over 12 million hits on YouTube and counting.

In 2019, DJ Spider teamed up with artist/writer Problem Child winning yet another competition with King Bubba She Always Bend Ova.

In 2021, he joined forces with music engineer, producer and singer GBMNUTRON and wrote the hit crossover song Down Deh on his Uncle Joe Riddim. The riddim, which blends the upbeat vibe of soca music with the sweet kompa melodies, quickly dominated the international music charts and Caribbean party scene.

Last year as well, soca artist, Lyrikal teamed up with DJ Spider on the Brunch Fete Riddim and instantly took over the streets of New York City, (NYC), with Fete Cyah Over, which exploded as a hit song for the 2021 Miami Carnival.

In other ventures, DJ Spider has produced sold out events at nightclubs throughout NYC, successfully solidifying his brand beyond the turntables as an entrepreneur.

DJ Spider received the Consul General of Barbados at New York’s Achievement Award, a tremendous honor recognizing his contributions to developing soca music in Barbados and the Caribbean.
