At night — and between driving shifts, on his TikTok feed — he becomes DJ Spin on the ones and twos. Just this past weekend, he opened for national acts Paul Wall and Soulja Boy at Wild West Music Fest.

“It was a blast,” Seabrooks laughed. “I haven’t fully recovered yet,”  

He spent approximately two hours on stage yesterday afternoon, bringing more than three decades of experience with him. His journey began at age 12, DJing at family get-togethers while growing up in South Central Los Angeles.

“My uncles, my mom and them used to have little house parties and I ended up becoming the DJ,” he said. “I love it. For some reason I was born with a gift and that’s music.” 

Now 49, Seabrooks describes himself as a mixologist, blending genres ranging from jazz to hip-hop depending on the crowd’s mood. In addition to playing weddings and events, he continues to build his presence both locally and online.

“Music is my therapy and I say it all the time during my shows that music is therapeutic. It does things to people,” he said.  

That includes the students on his bus routes. Seabrooks said he plays a wide range of music while driving, something that takes him back to his own school days.

“My bus driver was real laid back. He played all the music, and I just remember being like, ‘Man, I love this bus driver. If I ever drive a school bus, I[‘ll] make sure I’m that cool driver who plays good music,’” he recalled.

Looking back less than 24 hours at Wild West Music Fest, which ended early due to strong winds and a dust storm, Seabrooks said he was grateful to be part of it, especially as the first Maricopa performer to take the main stage.

“It was a long, long day, but it was well worth it,” he said. “[Wild West Music Fest] is growing, it’s getting bigger and better. We’re showing other cities Maricopa can put on a big event too, we’re not nobody out here. Come on out here and have a good time with us.”
