DJ Von is an award-winning DJ whose music is influenced by James Brown, Michael Jackson, Coldplay, and Kanye West. Known for keeping his mixes precise yet original, Von started DJing in his Lane College dorm room in 2017, initially using just his computer before getting his first turntables in 2021.

Since then, he’s earned some impressive recognition—including the 2024 Memphis Hip-Hop Awards DJ of the Year, DJ of the Year at the Mary Jane Music Awards in 2023 and 2024, and Mississippi Who’s Who Concert DJ of the Year in 2024. He was also named the #1 Mobile DJ of 2024 by DaN’DustryPlugMagazine and made HBCUBuzz.com’s list of the Top 25 HBCU DJs in both 2020 and 2024.

Von has brought the party to more than 23 different colleges, universities, and high schools, and has DJ’d over 50 weddings and receptions since 2021. He even made a cameo appearance as an extra in Snoop Dogg’s film The Underdoggs. Music runs in the family, too—Von is a first cousin of Brittany Howard, the five-time Grammy-winning lead singer and guitarist of Alabama Shakes.

Covers & Originals
Favorite song to perform:
Even though I LOVE "Moments In Love" by Art Of Noise as a starter, my favorite songs depend on the vibe of my crowd. As a DJ, I have the ability to set vibes and also be receptive of them as well. "Reading the room" and being versatile enough to adapt to your environment is truly a lost art.
