DJ Andy John brings his Virgin Islands roots to decks across the Washington–Baltimore region, blending soulful and deep house with Caribbean, Afro-Cuban, and Brazilian rhythms. He has an ear for the vocal that draws a room closer, the bassline that settles into the pocket, and the record that deserves another eight bars.
A U.S. Air Force veteran and retired Takoma Park major crimes detective sergeant, Andy has spent more than 30 years behind cameras and decks. He photographed more than 100 weddings, the 2009 Presidential Inaugural Neighborhood Ball, and the January 6 insurrection in Washington, D.C.
Andy designed A-Loft Studio, The Artist Loft, for professional production and as the foundation for a planned master’s thesis in multi-platform communications. Its flagship project is Flight Level 180. At A-Loft, he produces DMV House Radio 1 mixes, cinematic documentary portraits, and music videos, and weaves handpan melodies and Afro-Cuban piano into original house tracks.
