Born and raised in Queens, New York, DJ Wally Mayz immersed himself in music from an early age. Influenced by legendary DJs like Funkmaster Flex, DJ Clue, Massive B Sound System, Jabba, and Mister Cee, his passion for turntables and storytelling through sound took root early. With a Caribbean upbringing and a family filled with musicians, music was more than a backdrop—it was the heartbeat of his household.
For over 20 years, Wally Mayz has curated events that blend sound, culture, and connection. As the founder of Soundz and Shotz, he has produced high-energy experiences that combine music with visual storytelling, live photography, and handcrafted cocktails. Whether rocking rooftop parties or intimate community events, his goal has always been the same—to create a vibe you’ll never forget.
Now stepping into radio, Wally Mayz brings that same energy to the airwaves, combining decades of experience with a deep love for hip hop, dancehall, soul, and everything in between.
