Master of the Mix Season 2: Meet the DJs

DJ Mell Starr began his career as a house DJ in NYC after interning with "Little" Louie Vega and Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez of legendary production team Masters at Work. His signature lack of cans quickly earned him the name, “No Headphones in Harlem,” where he also became known for his ability to rock the crowds and the turntables while transitioning between Serato, Trankor, Itch and vinyl without any drop-off. DJ Mell Starr has also toured with music industry heavyweights, including Usher, Jay-Z, Ludacris and more, while still managing to practice his craft every day. Despite the glamour of working alongside hip hop royalty, the coolest place he’s ever spun was in Kuwait for 200,000 US troops. He also enjoys cooking and spending time with his girlfriend & daughter.  (Photo: BET)
