DJ Sole has been setting Baltimore ablaze this summer, exciting audiences and leaving a trail of unforgettable performances. As writers based in Maryland, we understand the challenge of winning over the Baltimore club crowd, but DJ Sole has done it with flair, rocking block parties, football stadiums, and private venues throughout the spring and summer.
We held an impromptu Swanodown Sitdown with DJ Sole to uncover the secret behind his ability to enchant such diverse audiences. He shared, "Reading the room can become an advanced science and has taken me years to sharpen." He emphasized the importance of connecting with the women in the crowd first, saying, "The women can control the energy in a room heavily."
The Swanodown team had the privilege of joining the crowd at Baltimore’s annual Block Party last month, where DJ Sole blew everyone away. His setlist spanned genres from pop and pop-rock to hip-hop, uptempo R&B, and Afrobeats. When asked about his preparation process, he mentioned doing "a little bit of research" but admitted, "I don’t plan my sets out completely. I like to get on stage and freestyle most of my set depending on where the audience leads me."
DJ Sole is a true inspiration to aspiring DJs, making a name for himself in a region known for its tough critics.
It’s good seeing one of my fav DJs being recognized!
