WEASEL

VDJ WEASEL controls the DJ booth the same way he controls the crowds he entertains; as in the same way he does in the military as an Air Traffic Controller. Taking the crowds to where they want to go, always controlling the tempo; never forgetting anyone along the way. Opposite of traditional DJs who are rarely taking requests, sticking to only one genre, and limited to only audio; VDJ WEASEL takes the party experience to a whole new level, by mixing in visual content also – i.e. music videos, movie trailers, custom animated drops, pictures, comedy spots, and viral internet clips – creating an experience that you will never ever forget. HIS TIME IS HERE The year 2013 is to be a good one for VDJ WEASEL. Finally back home, three of last year’s biggest names of Columbus JENNIFER JAY HULL, JOHNNY TAYLOR, and ASHLEY RUCKER; are already networking with him. VDJ WEASEL is the OFFICIAL DJ for 3B!Pro ENTERTAINMENT, STREET CHOICE MAGAZINE, and MONEYBOY STREET TV. He’s currently networking with home-town DJs like DJ SWIFT and DJ RON C, models such as STORM MZEXCLUSIVE THURMOND and COCA. He has featured spots with recording artist ROCKO and YOUNG SWIFT. In the press, VDJ WEASEL is being featured in media outlets including: MONEYBOY STREET TV, Georgia’s Street Choice Magazine, and MID ZINE. A DJ with over 10 years of experience and hundreds of recorded mash ups and remixes, VDJ WEASEL even remixes his own remixes live. He started remixing for soundcloud.com last year and produced his first compilation and mix CDs in 2005. Cedarwood Dome, Maggie’O Tooles, 54th St Bar, Chopstix, 6th Ave Bar, Last Exit, and Blush Lounge in Washington State; MVP’s in Alabama; Kuwait and Iraq MWR’s – are all hotspots where VDJ WEASEL has held residencies – specializing in building up crowds for empty venues to max capacity in very short periods of time without outside help from other promoters. Partying with VDJ WEASEL at any event he is spinning, you will see him mixing in audiovisual content throughout his set. All eyes and Cameras seem to follow his every move. For VDJ WEASEL, playing all genres, satisfying all requests, while mixing-in different video sources, flashing custom-graphics on-the-fly, and making you not want to leave the dance floor is too easy. VDJ WEASEL’s live video remixing is spectacular and something that leaves people talking about the next day and weeks to follow. GROWING UP Born Price Bakari Walker in Birmingham, Al. VDJ WEASEL exhibited skills as a dj at an early age. VDJ WEASEL’s first attempts were creating compilation mix cassette tapes in junior high school. A doctor’s son, he gained his jazz/classical/blues/disco/pop/holiday/rhythm & soul appreciation; and attended a private school in Columbus, Ga. named Brookstone gaining his rock/country appreciation. He then switched to a public school for the experience, gaining his rap/hip-hop/R&B appreciation. Columbus clubs like Al Who’s, that he frequented at 21 gained his electro/techno appreciation. College in Florida, gained him his Christian/reggae appreciation. In the military, VDJ WEASEL landed his first DJ gig off post; and being Black-American the few patrons there did not expect him to be able to play all the different genres alternative/punk/acid/house/funk/reggaeton/hyphy that they liked to hear, fluidly at that. He practiced hours on end with digital vinyl, bringing his own sound system to events that lacked proper sound. “I can play any bar or club…and I can play dubstep for that type crowd. It’s great, because the military has expanded me to a lot more genres like go-go/neo rhythm and soul/wop/crunk/bounce/stepping/chopped&screwed,” VDJ WEASEL remembers. He has played at SPICES, ILLUSIONS, AFTER5, OXYGEN, and 1on1 Entertainment Complex; since back in Columbus. VDJ WEASEL has been doing his own remixes online, creating a google presence using youtube.com, reverbnation.com, datpiff.com, and hotnewhiphop.com. “I remember one Halloween, I spun the whole party dressed Freddy and the next night as the killer from Scream, the crowd took pictures and enjoyed it.” Best known for his remixes, such as 2 Chainz Ft. Kanye West – Birthday Song (over David Guetta Ft. Sia – Titanium) Local Artist Specialized remixes and Special Request remixes for followers/subscribers; VDJ WEASEL’s re-inventive remixes catch the attention of everyone. VDJ WEASEL has always invested in himself; upgrading to better and more expensive DJ equipment. After awhile, VDJ WEASEL was investing in high-end cameras; shooting his own videos and promoting venue events in his hometown. One such party was Thanksgiving Night 2012, which was attended by over 400 people, for rapper Rocko live. Soon after, he got Tasha of R&B group Xscape; live also. STREET CHOICE MAGAZINE’S OFFICIAL DJ Today, VDJ WEASEL is the Official STREET CHOICE MAGAZINE DJ. In the booth, VDJ WEASEL uses two TECNICS 1210 for VINYL turntables, with a RANE 57 mixer, or a NEWMARK V7, or just a NEWMARK NS6; often incorporating videos to enhance his sets. NOT AN AVERAGE ENTERTAINER To this day, VDJ WEASEL brings more to the table than just being a great DJ. With the recording of his own music, bartending, photography, filmmaking, promoting, and so forth finding alternate revenue streams to make himself more marketable, never shy of doing a live performance. VDJ WEASEL thinking is a step ahead, offering memorable audio/visual shows to wow all; old or young. Making the statement, “I’m an artist, entertainer, and entrepreneur; but being a DJ and being able to move all crowds in a partying direction.. is a blessing.”
