DJ GRIND (Stephen Massey) is one of the country’s most sought-after up-and-coming DJs. With a sound firmly anchored in uplifting vocal house, DJ GRIND takes his dance floor on a journey toward joy. DJ GRIND is the winner of the 2011 GayDays National DJ Contest and the 2012 JustCircuit Award for “Pool Party of the Year.”
Over the past two years, DJ GRIND has headlined some of the largest venues and events in North America including White Party Palm Springs (the country’s largest gay dance music festival), GayDays (Orlando), The Paramount (Provincetown), SPLASH (NYC), and Ruby Skye (San Francisco), among others. He’s been a featured artist on RSVP Vacations’ Caribbean and Mediterranean cruises, and supported Kylie Minogue’s 2011 “Aphrodite” World Tour as an opening act. This Fall, DJ GRIND embarks on a tour of Asia, with club appearances in Manila, Shanghai, and Singapore.
The San Francisco-based DJ’s monthly podcasts have received more than one million downloads worldwide, and rank as one of the most popular music podcasts on all of iTunes. Earlier this year, DJ GRIND remixed his first commercial CD, POPular vol. 7 (Centaur Music). He’s also the resident music critic for RealJock.com, where he provides the social networking site’s 320,000 members with daily music reviews and exclusive downloads. Later this year, DJ GRIND will release his first production project, an official remix of Kimberly Locke’s new dance single, “Feel the Love.”
