Demetrius "DJ" Turner II

Born: October 11, 1992

As is the case with many extraordinary musicians, Demetrius "DJ" Turner began his journey into the music world at an early age. As a present for his 10th birthday, DJ received his first saxophone from his grandfather, Vewiser J. Turner Sr., himself a saxophonist, flutist, and a top musician in the Houston, Texas area. This gift was of particular significance to Turner, because his beloved grandfather had just been diagnosed with terminal cancer. So, unlike many birthday gifts, DJ's sax did not end up in the hall closet gathering dust. Instead, Turner obviously immersed himself in learning to play his new instrument, because just 3 years later he would perform in front of a crowd of 20,000 at Madison Square Garden
