About FUNK FLEX
No other DJ has the 363-degree reach of Funk Flex. An icon in the hip-hop community, Flex was just 16 when he started DJing in NYC clubs. Today he spins for over 8,000 club-goers a week. Flex started his radio career at KISS FM, followed by a brief stint at WBLS, before finding a home at HOT 97 where he has been “dropping bombs” at the hip-hop station for over two decades. His music and lifestyle site, InFlexWeTrust.com, attracts three million unique visitors a month. Meanwhile, his smartphone app, which offers users daily mixes and instrumentals, has over 500,000 downloads. Flex recently partnered with Simon & Schuster for a new book about rapper Notorious B.I.G. He has also partnered with Beats by Dre for his own addition of the famous headphones. Sean Combs named Flex as one of the newest “Ciroc Boys,” and he also works with the electronics brand Panasonic. While his status in hip-hop is undeniable, his brand extends beyond hip-hop. A lover of cars, Flex owns over 20 muscle cars. This passion led to him hosting a variety of car-themed shows, including Ride With Funkmaster Flex, The Funkmaster Flex Super Series Invitational, All Muscle with Funkmaster Flex, Fast Machines with Funkmaster Flex, and Funk Flex Full Throttle. His notoriety as a car aficionado led to a deal with Ford Motor Company to customize their cars. He is currently working with car manufacturer Chevrolet. Funk Flex is the founding member of the new DJ Crew, LitDigitalDJs which includes DJ Khaled, DJ Mustard, DJ Vashtie, and Swizz Beatz. Most recently, Flex will be playing himself on an upcoming episode of Fox’s hit TV show “Empire” (season 2 – episode 8).
