For DJ Whoman, Las Vegas is the city of opportunities. Growing up in the capital of Iran gave DJ Whoman a different, unique outlook on his life and music. After graduating high school, DJ Whoman began finding relief in music. Some of the most sought after DJ’s in the world such as DJ Jazzy Jeff, Q Bert, Jam Master J, and a number of his local DJ friends inspired new goals in Whoman and gave him new aspirations.
Family and friends gave him his first real chance to DJ at events. Gigs from networking kept him busy in the beginning, spinning at private events. All of his hard work paid off when Whoman landed his first industry gig at Sky Afterhours inside Scores playing progressive and dance music. From there Whoman was given his first residency at Pirate Lounge inside Empire Ballroom where he was required to play hip-hop and rock mashups which was a new twist to his professional career. Mastering his skills at mixing hip-hop and rock made Pirate Lounge the most popular hip-hop and rock afterhours.
After a year and a half of residency at Empire Ballroom, Whoman was offered a spot inside Voodoo Lounge at the Rio. Bringing his fresh mixes and unique sounds, DJ Whoman brought VooDoo to a whole new level of energy. Today, Whoman constantly challenges himself, trying to come up with new interpretations to what everyone else is doing. With a mindset that he can always improve, Whoman is still working on his mixing, turntablism, and production skills. Completely self taught, he has risen from standing on the sidelines, to running the show. More photos Click on photos to enlarge. |
