DJ Wristpect
We’re lucky to have another great DJ participating in the Reach and Remix event during SMWTO! Named 2009 Canadian DJ of the Year, ‘Wristpect’ has quickly become one of the most sought after, and highly regarded entertainers in the country. A genuine love and appreciation for all sorts of music has allowed him to remain extremely versatile, captivating worldwide audiences by harnessing a plethora of genres.
Within the last year alone, Wristpect has been nominated Canada’s #1 Club DJ, joined Clinton Spark’s ‘Smash Squad DJ’ crew, played club dates in New York, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Bahamas, Costa Rica, Grenada, and has played and worked alongside the likes of DJ AM (RIP), Jazzy Jeff, Clipse, Steve Aoki, Drake, Busta Ryhmes, Usher, Just Blaze, amongst others.
He is not only the youngest, but the only DJ ever nominated simultaneously for five Stylus DJAwards, and in 2009, he became Canada’s Club DJ of the Year. He also won the 2006 and 2007 Showdown DJ Battles, as well as the 2008 Stylus Showdown.
Wristpect’s technical skill, paired with his unique ability to captivate a crowd, has led him to launch several successful tours across the continent and hold down residencies at some of Canada’s best venues. Not any one category defines Wristpect, as his range is exemplified by the diversity of his performances. He’s played for universal audiences at venues such as the highly coveted Playboy Mansion, as well as corporate engagements for the likes of Hennessy, Sony-Ericcsson, & Google.
Wristpect has further gained international attention with a series of acclaimed mix-tape compilations. These mix-tapes feature collaborations with some of music’s most recognized talents. Beyond his live performances, Wristpect plays to hundreds of thousands via live-to air-shows on both commercial and internet radio.
Using social media as a promotional vehicle and a way to connect with fans across the globe, Wristpect has been able to grow his reputation and fan base from Canadian to truly global. Wristpect can be found online in numerous places, from his website at wristpect.com to Twitter, Facebook, Vimeo, YouTube and more. Wristpect is a truly connected performer.
