DJ Hed
The Convener
The room, the network and the deal, brings the right people together.
DJ Hed embodies The Convener through a disciplined habit of changing institutions from inside them. He critiqued the Grammys, then joined the board. He spent seven years reshaping LA radio programming from within. He took the Boys and Girls Club media advisory chair to close gaps he had lived himself. The sequence never varies, earn access, align stakeholders, move the institution. His networks are not decorative. They are the mechanism.
“I was one of them people complaining about Maclamore beating Kendrick for the Grammy. You know what I did, join the Grammy board. Let me figure out how this system works.”
“I would go to tank school. Have them teach me how to work the tanks, build my own tank, or get in a tank, drive out the gate, turning around and shoot at them. That's the way you do it.”
“In order to live the life you want, you have to walk away from the life you knew.”
