Austin Blakely

was born in Atlanta, Georgia and raised in central New Jersey. I now reside in Philadelphia where I am senior at the University of the Arts. Majoring in Music Business, Entrepreneurship and Technology, my goal is to make a career out of DJing and producing various genres of music. DJing started as a hobby for fun at 13 years old when I got my first turntable and quickly turned into an addiction. Now at the young age of 23, I still can’t stop playing music for people. There’s something special about creating an open and free environment where people can enjoy themselves while dancing that I just can’t get enough of. What I love most about DJing is when you play someone’s favorite song and you hear their shout of approval from the crowd. That mutual feeling is why I can’t stop DJing.

Outside of DJing, I enjoy playing soccer, creating audio-visual installations, painting, motion graphics and so much more.
