DJ NEWMARK

Born Edward Alexander Jr. in Okinawa, Japan, DJ Newmark grew up in a military family that moved every three years. That upbringing exposed him to regional Hip‑Hop sounds most DJs never hear, and he credits it for the unusually diverse musical ear behind his sets. His stage name pays tribute to his first set of turntables, made by the audio manufacture Numark.

His live résumé spans six countries, 31 states, and 68 cities. Along the way he served as an Official DJ for the NFL’s Oakland Raiders and shared stages with major recording artists. In September 2024 he joined The Funky Bunch, the hip‑hop group behind the #1 hit “Good Vibrations,” as its Official DJ, helping relaunch the group for nationwide touring and new music.

On air, he built a loyal South Florida audience as host of “The DJ Newmark Experience” and the “Flavor on Top of Flavor MasterMix” on YO! 107.1 FM, West Palm Beach’s classic Hip‑Hop and R&B station. As a producer, he has been an ASCAP member since 2001 with 50+ productions for major and independent artists. His debut double album, Hot Tracks, was released in January 2023.

Beyond the booth, he is a veteran, a high school basketball coach, and the founder of The DJ Newmark Collection, throwback‑culture influenced streetwear apparel launched in June 2025 that has sold more than 2,000 pieces, each hand‑finished and packed by DJ Newmark himself. He also appears as himself in the film Child Support 2. He is a member and Ambassador of the Greater Wellington Chamber.

Connection to TTC: DJ Newmark served as a celebrity judge at Ignite The Culture Weekend’s Talent Search Competition on July 20, 2024, at the African‑American Research Library and Cultural Center in Fort Lauderdale, alongside Locksmith and Goalden Chyld, with commentary from Brawley. TTC member Lil Yellow took Top Male Performer that night.
