Dj Slizz

Adding to his many hobbies, my friend Ryan bought himself turn tables two Christmases ago. He started off creating mixes in his bedroom and would share his talent via facebook and burnt cds for friends to jam to. Some seven months later, while attending TSU, he caught his big break as he was hired by LG Entertainment, a renowned DJ company that caters to events for Neiman Marcus, Saks, Houston Magazine, as well as popular clubs across Downtown. Not to mention they are also top of the list when it comes to helping you Chris Brown down the isle on your wedding day.

Until his twenty first birthday, we all knew him as DJShyGuy, however, the minute that clock turned twelve on May 17^th, he became the one and only: DJSlizz. “I am talented musically. I can learn any instrument very quickly and that is how I am such a good dj today. Rhythm comes natural to me, and my abstract music taste and vision allows me to mix songs and sounds people have never thought of before.”

He’s spinned for local rappers like Fat Tony, A.D.D, Buckmore and more and has a made himself popular among the Houston underground scene. Houston Magazine voted him preferred House DJ and he is usually the top picks for weddings at Tuscany Villa and Courtyard at St James. “I’m different because I give the people what they want. Too many dj’s are bush keeping themselves happy instead of their crowd. I play music for myself AND the people. “ Word.

I met His Highness, the slizzed, in high school and have known him for seven long years and he’s by far one of the zaniest and goofiest people I know. Ma brotha can play five instruments and in fact learned how to play the ukele, his favorite, in less than a week. My last birthday was celebrated in his native third ward home, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the next one will be taking place at his new apartment in the galleria, companied by his brother, close friends, and his roommate whom he met off of the internet. You can usually find His Slizzness (that’s what I am going to start calling him) djing at BlackFinn Lounge every weekend, Shows at Mango’s, or for any other events he’s got going on.
