Hello Everyone... Please allow me to introduce myself..

My name is Will and I'm a DJ... You have probably heard my work.  I handle the music at Everbank Field for the Jaguars on gameday.  I also handled the music for the Sharks this past season. I have worked for SiriusXM and locally for Cox radio and Clear Channel until syndication totally killed local radio.

I'm Jacksonville born and bred, Florida A&M Alumni and have been coming to the Metro Jax site for a long time, but never took the time to join. 

Even though I travel a lot, and have lived in bigger cities... I love Jacksonville.  I have seen it grow with leaps and bounds.  My view maybe a bit unique, because I have had the opportunity to experience some of the undertakings. 

My dad was one of the first African-American police officers in Jax. (He was in the same police academy class as Nat Glover) and he was also good friends and worked for Ed Austin (R.I.P.). 

I'm here and will do my best to comment when I can.

If you would like to kayak Downtown we'll Make It Happen. Bring the Boombox and we'll rock it! LOL

Nice!  Welcome!

Are you behind the decision to play Bro Hymn after scores and during the game?  Love it.  I think it resonates really well with the crowd. 
So I said to him: Arthur, Artie come on, why does the salesman have to die? Change the title; The life of a salesman. That's what people want to see.

Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

Love that, they do it at a lot of college games too and people love it

I can't take the credit for changing the TD song to Bro Hymn..   It was the gameday producer's idea.

You've done a great job over the last few seasons.

Definately need some more Lil John songs this Monday.  The defense is gonna have to win this game for us.

ThisDJ

Thanks Fieldafm....

I got some Lil Jon ready...

Also, to all the football fans out there I started doing an event this season called FANtastic Fridays the Friday night before every home game.  It's a free little mixer type event at the Aloft Tapestry Park (corner of Gate Parkway/Southside blvd).

We usually have Members of The Roar, and alumni Jags players there and we just basically kick off the weekend. Tomorrow night Alumni player Damon Jones aka "Big Sofa" will be there.   

Once again....   it's free and we are there from about 8pm-12a if you want to stop by...

Lol, ask him about his lay down and fake an injury touchdown pass. 

Aloft programs their XYZ Bar really well!  It's a cool space.

Yes!  I think they started playing it towards the end of last season and I'm glad they have continued it this year - it sounds great.  I'm surprised it hasn't caught on with the European soccer crowds.

Welcome! I'll have to try to make it out to Aloft on a Fri!
