DJ Rob Riggs

DJ Rob Riggs, is a known veteran in the DJ game. With a minimum of 4 to 5 gigs a week, DJing is no hobby to him, it is a full time job. Being one of the hardest working DJs around earned him the title of “Best Club DJ” in Miami’s ‘New Times’. His more than 10 years of experience and dedication towards education also landed him the duties of master instructor at Miami’s very own Scratch DJ Academy, teaching students of all age’s how to mix, scratch, and rock the party.

When not instructing aspiring students, he is commanding the crowd at his residencies every week in Miami Beach, or rocking a stage show with touring artists from all over the country. He is also not afraid to try different things, as he has been seen performing with artists from all genres, ranging from underground hip hop, to deep electro house over seas, to heavy metal bands in the USA. Known for his versatility when performing, DJ Rob Riggs seamlessly drops fun tracks from multiple genres all night long, with the razor sharp precision of a former scratch battle DJ.

His energetic live presence and mastered scratch techniques have also landed him on stage alongside artists such as the Wu-Tang Clan, KRS-One, Fat Joe, Run DMC, Biz Markie, The Foo Fighters, Maroon 5, DJ Icey, Robbie Rivera, as well as DJ legends like DJ Q-Bert, The X-Ecutioners, Cut Chemist, Marley Marl, and DJ Z-Trip.
