Who Is Blakk Steel?      

      With 34+ years in the entertainment business & industry as a DJ, MC, VJ, On-air personality & DJ instructor, Blakk Steel is showing no signs of slowing down. 

From his humble beginnings on WPTS 98.5/92.1 FM, to being recruited to work for WAMO 106 FM, Underground Hip-Hop Video Magazine as an on-air video personality & associate producer, to being a founding member of the Union DJs (Pittsburgh, PA), as well as co-founder/co-owner of Digital Analog Radio, Blakk keeps himself busy & immersed in the culture & industry. 

Having opened up & DJ'd for national acts, he still moves & is happy about it all, like he just entered into the game. "With as many things that I've done, been a part of, or have my fingerprints on, it always is 'day one' humbling. I take none of it for granted." 

With Digital Analog Radio (an online Urban Adult Contemporary radio station with an App that he co-owns) being his latest & most personal venture, he's excited about the possibilities. "I like where we've gotten to, to this point. But we still have a very long way to go. I look forward to seeing what it can become in its best form. Since I don't listen to terrestrial radio & am not paying for satellite radio, I'm living with my radio station. Even with my only child's mentality (can bore easily), I'm loving what I'm hearing, & burn a lot of gas driving around listening to it! LOL It's a great listen, & we're constantly making changes to it to tighten loose ends."

        He still DJs fairly regularly... from private clients, to festivals & concerts. He's also called upon to MC a good deal, as he knows how to command a venue. In his slower periods, he teaches the craft that he loves.        

         One question remains: Why doesn't he use the "DJ" portion of his title, on a more frequent basis? "I'm not solely a DJ. I MC, as well. I'm an entertainer, so I don't nail myself down as labeling myself as JUST a DJ."
