DJ James Anthony
James Anthony’s love for DJ’ing and dance-music culture goes back as far as his memory allows. This dynamic, international DJ and remixer has shown a tremendous affinity for music from an extremely young age, and has spent a better part of his life bringing it to the masses. James got his first big break working in radio, at the legendary dance station WKTU in New York City. Within weeks of being hired, at the young age of 21, he quickly became the youngest mixshow DJ on New York radio. His hugely popular “Freestyle Free For All†and “Free Ride at 5†mixshows, running concurrently since 2003, have been mainstays to millions of radio listeners. In 2012, OUT Magazine named James as “One of the Top 10 DJ’s to Look Out For This Yearâ€.DJ James Anthony and Blake Baker in the booth during SCORE | 1st Quarter 2014 at Dallas Eagle.

James maintains a busy calendar of national and international bookings.
