Brooklyn, New York—a borough that birthed legends like the late great Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, Mos Def, and Busta Rhymes. Nestled in the vibrant, Caribbean-infused neighborhood of Flatbush, one of Brooklyn’s finest DJs has carved out his own legacy: DJ Dreamer 524.
Raised in a family where music was more than a pastime, Dreamer’s Jamaican heritage laid the foundation for his journey. His childhood soundtrack included the timeless sounds of Bob Marley, Gregory Isaacs, and Dennis Brown, echoing through a small Brooklyn apartment. However, it was his uncle, DJ Paul, who ignited the spark that became his lifelong passion for music and deejaying.
With an extensive record collection and a powerful sound system, DJ Paul set the stage for Dreamer’s evolution. Deejaying runs in Dreamer’s bloodline; from his uncle to his cousins DJ Bob Po Po and DJ Treats, the family has always been deeply invested in turntables and records.
Dreamer’s path was not without exploration. He initially pursued his dreams as a rapper, performing with Source-Life Entertainment. After years of performing and rhyming, he chose to focus his talents on the turntables, honing his craft on a pair of GLI belt-drive turntables inherited from a cousin. This pivotal decision led to an undeniable realization: deejaying was his true calling.
Fast forward to 2024, and DJ Dreamer 524 has evolved beyond the local parties and clubs of Brooklyn. He’s a seasoned performer, having hosted electrifying live sets, including his recent YouTube performances in an open-format style. His mixtapes, such as the acclaimed “NOW I WON,” blend hip-hop with R&B, showcasing both contemporary hits and nostalgic classics.
As the founder and chief of Source Life Social, Dreamer continues to build community through music. His future is filled with ambitious projects, including plans to release more mixes on his website and revive his influential podcast, “The Verdict.”
For DJ Dreamer 524, the journey isn’t just about spinning records—it’s about honoring a legacy, fostering connections, and creating an unforgettable soundscape for the world to enjoy.
