About

Hailing from one of the most historical African-American communities in the world, Orange Mound in Memphis, TN, DJ D-Whit began his career in music simply as the captain of the Schools'  drum squad. Shortly after acquiring his first controller, he turned his passion for music into a hobby. His mom, Tracey, provided him with instruments such as a guitar, keyboard, drum pad, and a discovery ion usb deejay controller.  By 2014, DJ D-Whit had finally built and used his first full, self-engineered set as a DJ for one of his family's annual events. Melvin Parker, his stepdad, is credited for planting the seed of deejaying within DJ D-Whit by asking him to deejay the family function. Melvin and Tracey went and bought a set of speakers from the pawn shop to go along with D-Whit's controller for the event and that was the start of his legacy as a DJ.

Soon after, he met the likes of DJ Zoom of Probeat DJs, whom was involved in the same fashion show as his sister at the time. Through DJ Zoom he was given the knowledge on upgrading equipment and DJ Zoom also began to mentor DJ D-Whit throughout the beginning of his career. A few months later, he was able to take on his first gig as a professional DJ at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
