WERD

The road to house music for DJ Werd had its humble beginnings in the cities of Houston, TX and Beaumont, TX. As a native of the South, DJ Werd grew up listening to the old school music his parents played constantly on the radio. Artists such as Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, Luther Vandross, Barry White, and The Temptations laid the groundwork for great vocals he loves and searches for in a vocal house track. During his teenage years, DJ Werd kept this foundation while also listening to pop artists of the 90’s. However, there was a distinct style of music played during the late nights on the weekends that kept his attention. He didn’t know what house music was…he just knew he liked it.

about house music

when going out to

clubs and purchasing

CDs. He learned about

Dajae, Cajmere, Masters

At Work, Kings of

Tomorrow, DJ Gregory,

Bob Sinclar, and the list

just keeps going. Through

a mutual friend, DJ Werd

met DJ Malik in 2003 and

instant friendship was

born. This is when DJ

Werd fully learned about

different genres of house

music, more house music

artists, and considered

learning how to mix music.

In the fall of 2012, DJ Werd

and DJ Malik decided to

form QMS to showcase

their talents.
