Born January 20, 1990 in Cleveland, OH, DJ AK was born with a natural interest in music. AK was first introduced to music in 1998 when his cousin played a song by Al Green which impacted his musical preference. He has since anchored himself into the industry as a promoter, radio host, and general manager of Black Kush Records. Launched in April of 2014, Black Kush Records DJ AK has worked with artist such as Soulja Boy, Charlie Boy, Lil’ B, Chamillionaire as well as a few others. AK got an early start, making mixtapes for his peers at the age of 15, which lead to him releasing his first mixtape “Sippin’ Syrup” Filleted & Sautéed which had a heavy influence of the Screw Music genre. AK sites DJ Screw, OG Ron C, E Murda, DJ Michael Watts, and DJ Princess Cuts as well as a few others as an influence to his particular style of music.

Dj Ak was not only professional but he was personable also. He contacted me before the event and wanted to know if I had any specific requests for music and he also asked if there was anything that I didn't want to have played. Said he wanted to make sure to customize the music to my requests. I highly recommend Dj Ak for your next event....you have a lot to worry about to make sure that your event goes smooth. With Dj Ak your music won't be one of'em!!!!!!!

We had DJ AK for my husband’s 34th surprise birthday party. DJ AK was amazing from planning, helping me surprise him when he walked through the door, and playing awesome music that we had talked about prior - the whole night. He was extremely responsive and he showed up to the event super early to make sure he was ready to go, which I really appreciate.
Everyone was raving about DJ AK and I’m so grateful I was able to find him and have him at the event. He made the evening unforgettable. I will definitely be using his services for any other future parties. He is truly amazing! Thank you so much, DJ AK!! You are the best!!
