DJ Raj Smoove, dubbed “the greatest DJ in the world” by colleague Lil Wayne, is, indeed, one of the foremost DJs and producers on the scene today. His energetic and tasteful sets drive the crowds and reflect his extensive experience with stars like Stevie Wonder, Lil Wayne, Mannie Fresh, PJ Morton, and Mia X. Since his first gig at the age of 14, Raj Smoove has spun his way into the heart of the city, DJ’ing at top local clubs, festivals, for the New Orleans Saints and New Orleans Pelicans, and for national groups such as the NBA All-Star Weekend and the National Urban League. He was a producer for Young Money Entertainment, where he produced material for Lil Wayne’s platinum Tha Carter and other hits, and also worked closely with Cash Money Records, learning the business side of the industry and developing his own client list, which includes R&B star Kourtney Heart. In addition to his DJ, producer, and engineer hats, Smoove is also a member of the New Orleans Music Economy Initiative (NOME), which is an organization aiming to create a viable, robust music industry including copyright, publishing and intellectual property education.
