Episode 280: DJ TAY JAMES
On this week’s episode of the @RoadPodcast, the fellas welcome the DMV's very own @DJTayJames, day one DJ, and A&R for @JustinBieber. Tay breaks down the difference between “Baltimore club” and “DC club” music (4:17), shares his early aspirations to be like @ChrisBrown’s DJ @BabeyDrew in college (12:34), and explains how he became #JustinBieber’s DJ after graduation (23:23).
