DJ D Sharp can hang with the big names--spinning at Dwayne Wade's birthday party, or as part of Kanye West's and Lauryn Hill's performances. But when he's not keeping the celebs happy at home or touring the world, he also holds down residencies on both sides of the Bay four nights a week, and that, of course, is when he's not producing mixtapes, or throwing his skills behind one of many Quannum acts. D Sharp is one busy dude--you can see him Saturday night at Fluid.
Check out his podcast here, and our interview with D Sharp below.
