The UB Video Interview: DJ Cassidy Talks Pass the Mic + The Art Of DJing

DJ Cassidy‘s career is the culmination of a lifetime of deejaying around the world, observing people react, and making people move. For his tenth birthday, Cassidy asked his parents for two turntables and a mixer, and DJ Cassidy was born.

Like his approach to deejaying, Cassidy‘s approach to production is unbound by genre and era. His releases as a recording artist and producer have united artists from all sounds under one groove.

DJ Cassidy is recognized from miles away, both performing and “resorting” as he coins it, by his signature boater hat, vintage brooches, and 24 karat gold microphone. With equal nods to classic Ivy style, vintage Hip Hop, and bespoke tailoring, Cassidy’s sense of style is truly his own.

With “Pass The Mic,” DJ Cassidy unites our musical heroes in an unprecedented way, connecting them not only to each other, but to all of us, in a glorious, yet personal, celebration of heroes.

After only three online “Pass The Mic” episodes, an overwhelming emotional response from viewers, and tens of millions of views, DJ Cassidy partnered with BET for an epic prime time television “Pass The Mic” special, which aired immediately following the 2020 Soul Train Awards and attracted more than one million live viewers.

Now, DJ Cassidy has now partnered with BET for a series of six primetime television “Pass The Mic” specials to air throughout 2021.

Aries from UB spoke to DJ Cassidy in support of his Mother’s Day Edition of “Pass The Mic.”

Cassidy tells us why we should all tune into the Mother’s Day special and the theme of the show. He also shares what he enjoys most about doing Pass the Mic and gives great advice to anybody who considers themselves a DJ.

Also, with the big R&B Verzuz Tonight, with SWV and Xscape, UB had to know who Cassidy has in the battle…find out who!
