-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Not only An official RUFF RYDER, he is also a musical genius on the ones and twos...DJ D Rock is one of the most sought after DJ's inNew York. What separates D Rock from all other deejays is that at an early age he was diagnosed with an eye condition called glaucoma. That condition caused him to lose his eyesight at the age of 22, but he didn’t let that stop him. With the use of special equipment he is able to keep the dance floors packed all around the US and Overseas.
The future for this amazing artist is limitless. Everyday a new chapter is opening in his life. Look to see what is to come next in the life of DJ D Rock, New York’s Most Wanted
Take a minute and get to know him...

What's your greatest accomplishment so far in life?
Greatest ...mmhhhmmmm that's a tough one I guess I would have to say dealing with myself being being blind and not letting me get down and just striving at my goals and just doing what I need to do in life to stay on top.
Tell me a little bit about yourself:
I am a 30 yr old single father in nyc right now am signed to one of new yorks major labels for a chance of a lifetime to find there next new artist or producer. This is a op that not many people get a chance to have in there lifetime it is great to be respected enough for a major label like ruff ryders to look at me as someone to hit the global market for their next new artist.

What do you like most about being in the business?
There are so many good things to name one is hard but I would have to say the impact you leave on people's lives is the best thing I would have to say.
What's the thought process behind your works?
I am always just listening day to day seeing what goes with what and how I think a track is gonna effect a dance floor. There are just certain tracks when a floor is packed that you know the crowd wil go nuts. It is the best feeling to hear them scream and the energy you get off of it.
What inspires and motivates you?
My kids and family
How was life changed for you since you started being a DJ ?
Well when i started i was djn in my moms basment with one turntable and some broken up mixer buying records at the localrecord store. Now I am dj'ing for major events and celebs spinnin on some of the hottest stuff in the biz as well as recording in multi million dollar studios lol

trey songz, ne-yo, drake jay z , fabolous, chris brown and of course my fav rapper biggie

Does any negativity from the media ever affect you in anyway?
I dont let anyone or anything negative effect me it just drives me to go even harder. Haters wouldn't hate if you werent doing something they could already do now would they?
Any advice for those looking to pursue their dreams?
No matter what anyone tells you or how hard it gets even if the last phone call or e mail was the last contact you had. Just keep going for it never give up on what you dream for cause once you have it is the best thing ever and those that said you couldn't do it wil be right there to try and be apart of your dreams. I wish anyone the best luck in following what they love.
What do you want to be remembered by?
