DJ Trauma, is the resident DJ for comedian Dave Chappelle and has been on tour with him for the past four years. Chappelle’s current tour comes off the heels of Dave’s wildly successful comedy special on Netflix. Along with his tour dates with Dave this summer, DJ Trauma has been traveling to Kenya with Omarion, he has recently released the video for his first single “Take Me High”,  and he has a record deal with Priority Records.

But the busy schedule is nothing new for the veteran DJ who has been spinning at parties for hip hop heavies like Biggie and Tupac since the 90s. But his foray into the comedy world had opened up a whole new world to this humble DJ who got his start in Atlanta.  Now, traveling 8 months of the year, he is at the top of his career with even more in the pipeline. But to him, this is just part of what he does. “I was always doing cool things,” he tells Haute Living Atlanta in an exclusive interview. “Now I am just doing cooler things.”  Like being the DJ at  Beyoncé and Jay Z’s baby shower/push party in Los Angeles. 

Haute Living caught up with DJ Trauma in Atlanta. Dave Chappelle who was sitting a few tables over came by at one point to tell his DJ that he was hitting the road and would see him at the next show.He was referring to the epic Radio City Music Hall show that is currently coming to an end. (the last sold-out show is August 24),  but hype had already been building for this show months before.  The  NYC show, which has featured a roster of too-many-to-name celebrity guests has been a huge success and received a lot of media and celebrity attention with people clamoring to get tickets.
