A 13-Year-Old Dj

Teenage DJ Alex Angelo is taking over the radio waves with his new Saturday night broadcast. Alex Angelo, 13, hosts Radio Disney’s ‘Saturday Night Party with Alex Angelo’, which you can listen to on broadcast and satellite radio, and the Radio Disney app.

DJ Alex Angelo lives and breathes music. He listens to it everywhere he goes. He downloads the latest hits onto his computer, dances to music on a stage, and mixes songs on DJ (short for disc jockey) equipment in his room and on the road. “My life is all music,” he says. “I love music.” Alex started mixing music when he was 10 years old. “I was dancing before. I danced with the Cleveland Cavaliers when I was 7. Then I found an app on the iPad, and I really had a lot of fun with it. It’s a DJing app (called DJay). I really wanted to explore DJing and do it for real. So I asked my parents to buy some used equipment for my birthday. I didn’t care that it was old. I loved it. It was so much fun. I just kept going and going with it.”

Alex began hosting a weekend radio show on Radio Disney, called ‘Radio Disney’s Saturday Night Party with Alex Angelo’. He is one of the youngest DJs to produce and host a nationally-broadcast radio programme. A typical show includes two hours of mixing music, talking about different things that are going on, and taking song requests.

Alex says that things are going great, “People are saying they love it, and I'm really happy that they are enjoying my work. I love seeing all the comments on Twitter and Instagram about it, telling me everything that they love and requesting songs.”
