Many viewers are wondering who the DJ was at the 2024 Democratic National Convention after he turned the usually boring roll call into a full-fledged party. In one of the night’s most memorable moments, he helped spin Lil Jon’s “Turn Down The What” while the artist rapped the song during Georgia’s roll call. That said, those familiar with celebrity events and past celebrations leading up to the DNC will recognize the artist as DJ Cassidy. Here’s a quick rundown of who DJ Cassidy is and his long history with the Democratic Party.

DJ Cassidy, also known as Cassidy Durango Milton Willy Podell, is known for DJing at President Barack Obama's inauguration in 2009 and Joe Biden's inauguration in 2021.

The artist is also known for his colorful outfits and accessories, including a gold microphone, cricket jerseys, bow ties and flashy tuxedos. For the second day of the 2024 DNC, he wore a wide-brimmed woven hat and a shiny blue tuxedo with a matching shirt. For the event, DJ Cassidy played a different song for each state’s roll call, with the full playlist he used available on Spotify. He also played Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” during Gavin Newsom’s intro.
