Listen "E26: DJ Cassidy Interview: How Pass The Mic started, plans for live shows & more"
Episode Synopsis
After only three online “Pass The Mic” episodes, an overwhelming emotional response from viewers, and tens of millions of views, DJ Cassidy partnered with BET for an epic prime time television “Pass The Mic” special which aired immediately following the 2020 Soul Train Awards and attracted more than one million live viewers. Now, DJ Cassidy has now partnered with BET for a series of six primetime television “Pass The Mic” specials to air throughout 2021.
DJ Cassidy has been at the nexus of music, fashion, and nightlife for over half his living years as the go-to deejay of music impresarios, entertainment moguls, fashion icons, cultural trendsetters, and world leaders.
DJ Cassidy's career is the culmination of a lifetime of deejaying around the world, observing people react, and making people move. For his tenth birthday, Cassidy asked his parents for two turntables and a mixer, and DJ Cassidy was born. He played school functions, then friends' birthdays, then, by age eighteen, the VIP rooms of New York City hotspots.
During one late-night set, Cassidy caught the attention of Sean "Puffy" Combs, who, impressed with the youngster's vast knowledge of music well beyond his years, hired Cassidy to deejay his MTV Video Music Awards bash. Jay Z heard Cassidy soon thereafter and began calling on him for all of his and Beyoncé’s parties. The offers snowballed, with Naomi Campbell, Tommy Hilfiger, Anna Wintour, Pharrell Williams, Swizz Beatz, Alicia Keys, Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, and the hottest brands and nightclubs around the globe all recognizing Cassidy's unique ability to connect to everyone, everywhere.
Hosted by Music Broadcaster, Psychotherapist and Life Coach, Nnamdi E.S. Okoye (PGDip (CBT), PG Cert (Low Intensity Psychological Interventions)
