disc jockey |
Also found in: Wikipedia | 0.01 sec. |
disc jockey (DJ)Person who plays recorded music on radio or television or at a nightclub or other live venue. Disc jockey programs became the economic base of many radio stations in the U.S. after World War II. The format generally involves one person, the disc jockey, introducing and playing phonograph records and chatting informally, usually extemporaneously, in the intervals. Because popular DJs are in a position to influence public tastes, record companies have sometimes attempted to bribe them with money and gifts, known as “payola.” How to thank TFD for its existence?

They were introduced on the cabaret stage as the club DJ played "Pinocchio's Nose," an original rock 'n roll song from the show composed by Tony and Grammy Award nominee David Yazbek ("Dirty Rotten Scoundrels," "The Full Monty"). Stress causes her to lose her appetite, she says, and her split in December from then-fiance Adam Goldstein, a professional club DJ who goes by the name DJ AM, didn't help matters. |
