I had the honor of being invited back to NAMM this year as a media guest. For the last 5+ years, I’ve reported my top picks of new gear and cool DJ stuff at the North American Music Merchants tradeshow (NAMM) at the Anaheim Convention Center. This show is the “Comic Con” of the music industry and attendance is by invitation only. Famous DJs, top brands, hot after parties, swag, the latest DJ toys…NAMM has it all! It’s the thing the DJ industry buzzes about all year. After a l-o-n-g (over 2 years) Covid hiatus, NAMM was finally back this year. Read my full article from “DJ Life” magazine!
