The phrase, “tragedy to triumph” had a spokesperson, it would be DJ Quicksilva. After being shot, paralyzed, and losing his parents by the time he was 18 years old, this music and media maven, has gone on to be one of the most successful juggernauts in the game as an award winning celebrity DJ, on-air personality, philanthropist, and serial entrepreneur. Whether it is touring the world as a celebrity DJ, lacing the airwaves with Dominique Da Diva on his syndicated radio show, teaching aspiring DJ’s how to rock a party, running his nightclub, giving a daily dose of inspirational vitamins to the mentally malnourished, or just being a dedicated family man, DJ Quicksilva is the quintessential renaissance man.
