Hailing from Charlotte, NC, Dwayne “Rowshay” Linens is one of the rare few who excel in both worlds. After making his mark among top stylists, a new passion was sparked when he witnessed a performance by the late DJ AM. The same work ethic that earned him recognition behind the chair soon had him commanding attention behind the decks in the nightlife pulse of America’s second-largest financial hub.

As one of the Queen City’s go-to DJs, Rowshay’s influence extends far beyond local borders. From holding down high-profile residencies to creating unique edits and remixes embraced by DJs across the map, he’s built a reputation for reading any crowd and delivering exactly what they didn’t know they needed. His deep understanding of turntables and wide-ranging music knowledge allows him to move effortlessly between scenes — from the hood to the hipsters, yuppies to beach crowds — always leaving a lasting impression.
