When DJ goes by his palindromic alter ego, DrAwkward, he drums and sings for a bunch of noise-loving troublemakers called IfIHadAHiFi. When he’s just DJ, he‘s a roller derby enthusiast and local writer who’s into all that nerdy junk that makes you wonder how he ever managed to kiss a girl. He loves his cat, but pretty much everything else pisses him off. You can find him at Decider, Fan-Belt, and here, where he is ThirdCoast Digest's Cultural Zero.
