In Episode 6, Brik Chik sits down with DJ Dana — a legendary DJ with 40 years of experience shaping the soundtrack of Rochester and beyond.

From organizing and DJing the Rochester Summer Soul Music Festival to helping build community events like the Hanover Reunion, Dana has been a pillar in the culture.

But his story starts much earlier…
In the early ’80s, he moved to Harlem with his older brother Danny — a father figure who introduced him to the grind. Together, they became street art vendors, creating and selling art in the Mecca of New York.

And it was Starski who first put Dana behind the turntables, sparking a lifelong passion for DJing, music, and style.

This episode dives into Hip-Hop history, family, fashion, and the journey of a true cultural architect.
