DJ Focus: Moving Culture Without Compromise

Diving deep into the challenges and triumphs of CHH as a genre, DJ Focus, host of Da Fixx weekday mornings on Holy Culture Radio, addresses issues like gatekeeping, the need for authentic discipleship, and the importance of building relationships within the community. He is filled with gratitude and encouragement though and calls to continue pushing the culture forward. DJ Focus also informs the Trackstarz on his and his wife’s move from Cleveland to Atlanta.
