DJ DREZ is a multifaceted artist known for his roles as a peaceful visionary, sound ambassador, and skilled turntablist. His music transcends traditional boundaries, blending elements of hip-hop, world music, soul, funk, jazz, and reggae into what he describes as his "trademark sound and production." His work is not just about creating music but about facilitating an experience, whether it's through dance, yoga, or intimate gatherings.

He has worked with an array of top artists including Blackstar, KRS-One, Macy Gray, and Nas, and has been involved with prestigious organizations like Adidas and the X Games. DJ DREZ is also a regular on the global festival circuit, sharing stages with the likes of Moby, Ziggy Marley, and De La Soul.

Beyond his production as a DJ, Drez is a passionate yogi, embodying a lifestyle of discipline, gratitude, and compassion. His music has found a unique niche in the yoga community, where he has collaborated on projects like the "Rock Om" in-room yoga experience for Hard Rock Hotels.

DJ DREZ continues to inspire as a lover of music, a student of life, and sometimes a teacher, always pushing the envelope of sound to new, universal heights.

In this episode, DJ DREZ shares his journey from graffiti artist to DJ, exploring how his music has evolved over three decades from his early days in the hip-hop scene during the Golden Era, his exploration into Eastern philosophies, and how these experiences melded into his distinctive sound that blends hip-hop with spiritual and yogic influences.

This episode delves into DREZ's philosophy of music as a tool for emotional and spiritual expression, offering a critique on modern society's tendency to numb out through substances or social media. He shares his vision of music that encourages listeners to feel genuinely, celebrating the spectrum of human emotions without external aids.

We explore the concept of the "middle path" from yogic teachings, which DREZ applies to his life and art, seeking balance amidst life's chaos. He opens up about the personal challenges of maintaining this balance, especially in the context of long-term relationships and parenthood, providing a raw and honest look at the personal growth and introspection that come with these roles.

DREZ's narrative is not just about music; it's about the journey of self-discovery, the healing power of sound, and the commitment to authenticity in an often superficial world. His reflections on creating music inspired by both abstract concepts and tangible life experiences offer listeners a profound insight into how art can mirror and shape our lives.

Whether you're a long-time fan of DJ DREZ's work or new to his transformative sound, this conversation promises to enlighten, inspire, and perhaps even guide you toward a more conscious way of living.

Droop Lion grew up in the tough, gritty shanties of Kingston, Jamaica. He lost his mother to gun violence when he was just nine months old, a savage act that robbed the young man of a mother’s love. He turned to music to express himself and make a spiritual connection with the universe. At a young age, under the guidance of his grandmother, he vowed to stick to the conscious path and not compromise in order to achieve success.
