Overdose on Different
Double D is an extraordinary DJ, producer, audio engineer, and radio personality based in St. Martin. Being known for his versatility and creativity, his style is truly unique within the previously mentioned disciplines. Born Daniel A. Dormoy on St. Martin, French West Indies, Daniel grew up with the aspirations to become a musician. With a family that has a background in music, Double D was set on the right course. His debut as a producer occurred in 2011 while messing around on FL Studio (a program used to create music), when a few friends came into the room. They heard what he was working on, complimented him on how good it sounded, urging him to finish it, and share it across the various social media outlets. So he did, and word spread like wildfire concerning his production skills. Double D is proficient in genres such as: Zouk, R&B, Hip Hop, Dancehall, EDM, Soca, Bachata, Merengue, Reggaeton, Dembow, and more. In 2012, those skills landed him a role as a co-host on The Andrew Dick Show; a popular radio show catering to the young, and the young at heart. Double D was a natural, seeing as the show highlighted his laidback, yet comedic personality. His debut as a DJ occurred in 2013, at a local talent show called Rock Tha House, for which he won Best Amateur DJ consecutively in 2013 and 2014. The admiration and respect he earned of everyone during that competition, led him to his 1st gig a week later, and it didn’t stop there. Also in 2012 he attended the Video X Games Casual Sundays as a socialite. He eventually ended up playing there along with their resident DJ (DJ Bean), while gaining the notice of the gamers and socialites alike who frequented the event. Two weeks later, a group of guys that consisted of local entrepreneurs changed his name from Double D, to DJ Protégé. Daniel took on the name, using it along with Double D, catered to two different audiences and had their own respective following. In the years 2013 and 2014, those two names would casually conflict with each other. So eventually, DJ Protégé was dropped and Double D was made to stay. Gradually increasing his knowledge and skills in the art of DJing, mixing and blending anything from vocal stems to Zouk, Double D played at venues like: The Festival Village, Soggy Dollar Bar, Tantra, The Platinum Room, Sky Beach Lounge, 3 Amigos, and Lotus. In 2015, his production skills led to him being contacted by Jamaican YouTube star Kevin2wokrayzee, to recreate a beat for one of his videos (which went viral). In 2016, Dee (former co-host of the Suppa Duppa Morning Show) held an online DJ competition, which Double D entered and won, earning him a guest performance at her Mardi Gras birthday bash in Tantra. You can tell that his performances are memorable, as his performance at The Video X Games back in 2012, led to him to becoming the resident DJ at the Poet’s Lounge from 2016 to 2019. In 2018, DJ Outkast held a DJ competition for a slot in his Black & White party series (which he entered and won). That performance led him to being the resident DJ of 3 Amigos’s Wild Wednesdays from 2019 to early 2020. He states that his influences are: Timbaland, Pharrell Williams, Mannie Fresh, Noah “40” Shabib, Mr. Probz, Tito Beatz, Swanks, DJ Wilson, DJ Outkast, DJ Premier, DJ Big Boss, & DJ Puffy. Radio Personalities: Lady Grace, Big Boi, Gee Money, and Sagan.
