VA's DJ Scene

DJ Babey Drew

"I want to get $50, 000 a show just like Flex." 

Born and raised in Queens NY. BabeyDrew has always appreciated music. With his West Indian background, his first love of music was reggae. He began spinning reggae at the age of 12. As he grew older, he diversified his skills to also play Hip Hop and R&B. At a young age, BabeyDrew spent a lot of time in recording studios, which led to a new talent in sound recording. Arriving at Hampton University in 1998 was a milestone in BabeyDrew's life. He immediately began working with WHOV 88.1 FM, the number one college radio station in the USA.  

He held down his own time slot, and mix show on Saturdays from 7-10PM with an audience up to 55,000. During his matriculation at Hampton University, he began doing production for the station on a regular basis. BabeyDrew did not only stick to radio, but continued to "rock" parties on campus, and at local clubs.

BabeyDrew is not only known locally, but is known in many colleges and universities around the country.

He recently launched his “BabeyDrew college tour” in which he toured colleges across the country. “I needed a marketing strategy, and I thought a college tour was great.” Being in a flooded DJ market, Drew decided it was time to do something different. He went under the management of Mista Nice his sophomore year in college. This led to a release of his first CD "Back to the Streets", which is still circulating shops from Virginia to New York. His latest project is the "Back to School" series…

His long-term goals are to be as successful as Funkmaster Flex. “He is the most paid DJ in the industry.

Funkmaster Flex really opened the opportunities for DJ’s by having people look at us as artists, and not just someone playing records, 'cause there is an art to DJ-ing. I want to get $50, 000 a show just like Flex.”

Some DJ’s that BabeyDrew was influenced by was Funkmaster Flex, DJ Revolution, Spinbad, DJ Bee, and DJ Mista Nice. “Growing up in NY, all I had to listen to on the radio is Funkmaster Flex, so of course I started to mix like him.”

BabeyDrew continues rocking the club scene in VA. 

“If I go back to NY, I have to start from scratch. I might as well stay where I have a name and make some money.”
