About Dnial

New Jersey born DJ Dnial started developing an ear for music and a feel for rhythm at a young age. He was brought up to the classics, as the melodic sounds of Motown greats; The Temptations, Jackson 5, and Smokey Robinson spun on vinyl in his family’s living room. His tastes expanded and his interest in music went from leisure to hobby as he first got behind a set of turntables during college in Delaware. In no time, Dean became Dnial, with a relentless approach to master the craft that he quickly grew passionate for.

Campus parties became club guest spots, and in no time Dnial was establishing residencies and opportunities to sharpen his techniques alongside legends like Rated R, Doc B, and Jazzy Jeff. Refined skills and a growing reputation allotted Dnial a chance to expand beyond his Delaware locale into a Mecca of elite DJ talent, in Philadelphia, and into the huge party scene of Ocean City Maryland. With a high-energy approach to controlling any room he rocked, Dnial moved crowds at concert events and parties with the likes of T-Pain, Flo-Rida, Jim Jones, and Funkflex. In the summer of 2010 Dnial was selected to become a part of the world famous Bumsquad DJ’s. This established him as one of the elite DJ’s not only in the area but in the entire country.

His eclectic musical background is still apparent today with his seamless integration of Hip-Hop, Top 40, Reggae, and House. Dnial’s upbeat mixes can be heard from 8am – 5pm on his radio show for OC104 in Maryland, and his live show can be seen year round between clubs in OCMD, Philly, and Atlantic City. His style, charisma, and energy have ignited his popularity as DJ Dnial; an unmistakable talent quickly rising to the top.
