Paul Blair (aka DJ White Shadow) grew up on a farm in Ohio, went to school in Detroit, and started DJing in Japan at age 17. Setting up base in Chicago, DJWS created residencies in some of the Second City’s best clubs spinning his own brand of dance, hip hop and house. Having refined and sharpened his skills, DJWS was invited to play all over the world, including Las Vegas, NYC, LA, Barcelona, London, Miami and Milan. Corporate clients like Playboy, Louis Vuitton, Google, Nike, Marc Jacobs and Guinness sought out DJWS to get their events popping. Even President Obama’s campaign knew that DJWS was the right guy to make its supporters move. Throughout the years DJWS has been identified as a tastemaker. DJWS furthered that reputation by consistently releasing mix tapes, remixes and original music and forming relationships with music industry insiders. In the Summer of 2010, Lady Gaga discovered what many had already known, DJWS knows how to make people dance. Hand picking him to contribute to her much-anticipated third album, Born This Way, DJWS left the booth for Gaga’s production studio. After nearly a year of writing, producing, editing and touring with Gaga, DJWS is credited as a producer and writer of nine of the twelve tracks on the number one album in the world, including “The Edge of Glory.” DJWS is now a top priority producer and writer for Universal Music Publishing Group and slated to work with numerous top selling artists. Plans for his own original release are in the works as well as a summer tour with other top DJ’s. The fun is just beginning.
