DJ Cassidy Biography
DJ Cassidy, born Cassidy Durango Milton Willy Podell, is an American DJ, record producer, and songwriter known for his influence in the music and entertainment industries. Cassidy has built a career as a prominent figure at high-profile events attended by music executives, entertainment leaders, fashion figures, and political dignitaries. His early interest in music began at age five, inspired by hip-hop records and dance films, and shaped by the genre-blending styles of Kool Herc and Grandmaster Flash. Cassidy developed a broad musical perspective, aiming to play diverse music for varied audiences worldwide.
Cassidy's professional career gained momentum when he was selected to DJ at Sean Combs' MTV VMA after party, following a performance at New York's Club Lotus. This opportunity led to performances at significant events, including both of President Barack Obama's inaugurations, milestone celebrations at the White House, Oprah Winfrey's New Year's Eve event in South Africa, and weddings for Jay Z and Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian, and Kourtney Kardashian. Cassidy also served as the DJ at the Democratic National Convention.
As a recording artist and producer, Cassidy has collaborated with artists across musical genres. His platinum single "Kill The Lights," featuring Jess Glynne, Alex Newell, and Nile Rodgers, reached number one on Billboard's Dance Club Chart. The single "Calling All Hearts," featuring Robin Thicke, Jessie J, and Earth Wind & Fire, topped the UK Official Charts. Cassidy has received Grammy nominations for his work with Mary J. Blige, including production on her number one hit "Still Believe In Love."
Cassidy is also recognized for "Pass The Mic," a multimedia franchise that began as a digital series and evolved into a televised primetime series on BET. The show has featured over 200 artists from hip-hop and R&B, and expanded into a Las Vegas residency at Planet Hollywood's Bakkt Theater, titled "Pass the Mic Live! The Iconic Las Vegas Residency."
Cassidy's influence extends into the political sphere, where he served as the first musical conductor of the Democratic National Convention Roll Call, curating music for all 57 U.S. states and territories and conducting a live televised segment viewed by millions. His work has been noted by The Hollywood Reporter for its impact on presidential politics. Whether performing at exclusive events or producing chart-topping music, Cassidy is recognized for bridging musical eras and connecting audiences across the entertainment and political landscapes.
