DJ Graffiti and Martin Smith are one in the same. A multifaceted individual, perfectly comfortable being called by his stage name or government name, Martin is equally well suited as a club DJ or as a marketing executive. Since he began DJing professionally in 1997, DJ Graffiti aka The Mangler, has become an icon of Michigan’s music community by rocking the dancefloor, heating up concert audiences, DJing Internationally, and creating mixtapes with an uncompromising level of quality. Named Detroit's Best DJ 2010 by Real Detroit Weekly, The Mangler is praised for his ability to play the right music at the right time. These days, Graffiti is most often found at concerts and exclusive events playing genre defying DJ sets that unite even the widest spectrum of audiences. In 2010 Graffiti was recruited by SpineTV.net to broadcast a monthly radio podcast, "Mangladesh", that features 60 minutes of new Hip-Hop, with 20 minutes dedicated specifically to Detroit artists. He purposely maintains only one weekly DJ gig, each Wednesday night in Ann Arbor, Michigan at an intimate venue called the Alley Bar. In addition to DJing in the US and abroad, Martin is also a music producer, blogger, photo-journalist, and an alumnus of both the University of Michigan Business and Law Schools. Martin’s passion for developing innovative marketing techniques lends itself to every aspect of his career. A desire to give people not only what they want, but also what they need, has helped Martin cohesively bind the music and business aspects of his ventures. Martin’s boutique marketing company Rapture Enterprises LLC has operated full time since 2001, managing campaigns for small, medium and Fortune 500 businesses. In 2007, Martin co-founded A-Side Worldwide, a marketing, and management firm with offices in Detroit and Los Angeles. With Martin aka DJ Graffiti as VP of Marketing, A-Side has championed a New Model that is changing the face of marketing by thoroughly integrating Social Media with traditional marketing methods. In 2009 Martin co-founded Snapfuze, an innovative Photo Booth and DJ Services company. With accomplishments like these, you can see why Martin's motto is, "Sleep is Overrated". Whether music, business, or more regularly an abundance of both, Martin Smith aka DJ Graffiti is positioned to lead, while others take notes.
