Born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, Kenyatta Smith, aka DJ Vader, grew up digging through the crates of records in his parents' collection, which included a variety of genres like soul, jazz, funk, techno, pop, disco, and of course, hip hop. During his career spanning over 25 years, DJ Vader has hosted his parties, along with hosting and providing the sounds for hundreds of private parties, corporate events, weddings, and for some of Cincinnati's biggest weekends, such as Blink, The Cincinnati Music Festival, and Cincy Soul.
