Professional finger snapper, toe tapper, hand clapper, love rapper, DJ.
My musical journey began in the early 2000’s, when a classmate in graduate school took me under his wing as a DJ, and taught me the basics of mixing. Soon after, I moved to Martha’s Vineyard where another friend WHOM was involved in the DJ scene, put me on to one of the local radio stations (96.7lpFM). I hosted a four hour mixshow for years, playing most everything from classic rock to hop to disco, reggae, funk, and pop.
“Who plays funk on Sunday mornings? Joshua Rockwell does....It was so cool. I was driving to church and was like, this is awesome.”
During that same time, I began my DJ residency in the Brick Cellar at Atria in Edgartown, MA. SINCE theN, I have DJ’ed weddings, house parties, and silent discos at most every venue across the island. Most of my gigs have evolved organically, through word of mouth amongst colleagues in the hospitality industry on Martha’s Vineyard.
I am constantly on the search for new and exciting music across all eras, cultures, and genres.
‘Did you just go from Frank Sinatra to Jay-Z to Queen to Bob Marley to The Ramones to Marvin Gaye? Your range is INSANE!!’
I enjoy witty banter, good manners, cashmere, disco, the color blue, espresso, good posture, Volvos, tacos, Biggie, yoga, the Spanish language, mid century architecture, real maple syrup, grilled cheese, and crunchy peanut butter.
Feel free to reach out at any time to talk about curating memories to last a lifetime.
PEACE, LOVE, ROCKWELL.
