My Story

From Chicago Streets to World Stages

GRAMMY-nominated DJ/Producer and Chicago icon, I've built a career breaking major artists worldwide and creating unforgettable moments. As a headliner DJ and On-Air personality at 107.5 WGCI/iHeartRadio, I host The Jamal Smallz Show with my signature daily mixes that keep Chicago moving.

My journey has taken me across the globe — from Saudi Arabia and Japan to Canada, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Cancun, and major U.S. cities including NYC, Miami, L.A., Atlanta, and Las Vegas. I've had the honor of performing for President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, and have been featured on MTV, VH1, BET's Rap City, and 106 & Park.

For over 15 years, I've been the headliner DJ at WGCI's Summer Jam & Big Jam inside the United Center. I've completed 2 Red Bull tours with G-Unit and Ludacris, served as a DJ for NASCAR, and am proud to be a member of DJ Khaled's "We The Best" Luxe Boys and a Remy Martin brand ambassador.

Beyond music, I'm a thriving real estate investor, developer, and entrepreneur. When you book me, you're getting more than a DJ — you're getting a partner dedicated to making your event absolutely unforgettable.
