DJ SMARTIEZ DJ SMARTIEZ A 2011 Stylus Nominee, two-time Black Canadian Award DJ of the year nominee and a four time #24DJ’s contestant, Sean ‘Smartiez’ Crooks is in a class of his own. His humble beginnings on homemade turntables grounded him to strive for more and become the sensation he is today. Not satisfied as being labeled a “Club DJ”, Smartiez invested in his craft, researching modern genres in order to create fresh and new mixtapes. Thus, forming his iTunes page and website [DJ SMARTIEZ Sounds/DJSMARTIEZ.com] with multiple mixes, each with thousands of plays. From right here in Toronto to all the way to South Africa, DJ Smartiez can be heard on the airwaves weekly. However, his home is on Toronto’s very own urban radio station, VIBE105FM. He produces his own FM radio shows, entitled “The Essentials” every Wednesday and the #LATELUNCHMIX every Friday. But his work for radio does not end there. Smartiez has taken his talents to RCI 101.1 in St.Lucia and has made his way to being a Team Soca DJ; a strictly soca station that broadcasts worldwide. Producing and mixing his show, Soca Essentials, he proves that through his music there isn’t a limit he’s not willing to push. DJ’ing for some of the biggest artists in the industry, Smartiez has really made a name for himself. He’s had the pleasure of playing for the likes of The Weeknd, Rihanna and the man of Toronto himself, Drake. He’s even had the honor of being the opening DJ for Big Sean, and playing alongside the talents of Kes The Band, Skinny Fabulous, Kerwin DuBois and many more. But not everything is glamour and glitz for him. Taking an active part in the community as well, Smartiez has had his fair share of spotlight in the communal eye. Becoming a new official DJ for the mas band Fantazia in 2017 and Lux Carnival in Barbados in 2018, offered great exposure and opened many doors for him. While continuing to keep his relationships with nearby colleges/universities, he has broadened his international repertoire as well, adding Berlin and St. Lucia respective carnival’s to his resume.
