DJ Likkle D

Top DJ

Likkle D is one of the top DJs in New York.

Following in his father’s footsteps, David”Likkle D” Brathwaite started DJ-ing when he was ten. His late uncle, Hattan Callender, gave him his first big break, playing at Empire Cricket Club awards ceremony at Nazareth Hall.

Other cricket club gigs followed and from there Likkle D progressed to now being a fixture at Barbadian and events by other Caribbean countries. His biggest gig to date was performing in Jamaica in 2015 at that country’s Independence celebrations.

Born in New York to Barbadian parents, the mix-master works fulltime at Animal Medical Center, in Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging. He has been there for 23 years.

His DJ career has endured as much due to his professionalism and song selection. He performs on his own or with DJ Sean. Partners since 2018, the duo have played on shows featuring Barbadian artistes such as Mole, Lil Rick, Marzville and Sugarhe.

Likkle D is expanding in the business; he hosts karaoke evenings and has, so far, produced two events featuring DJ Cutterman from Barbados.
