Meet the Teenager From Stevie B’s DJ Team
While most kids his age are listening Cardi B, you’ll find Kaelum White spinning Stevie B classics in arenas all over the world. Known professionally as DJ Kid K, Kaelum hasn’t even graduated high school yet but you’ll see him on stage with Stevie B when Freestyle Explosion Throwback Jam returns to Amalie Arena August 12.
At age 8, DJ Kid K picked up the first and only instrument he’s learned to play… the turntables. He’s dabbled with playing the drums a bit, but he says he’s never really taken to it completely.
Now, not even a decade later, he’s playing clubs he’s too young to even get in to. Plus he’s touring the world playing to tens of thousands of 40 and 50 somethings who share his passion for old school jams. His godfather is a DJ and inspired his love for the classics we all grew up on in the 80s. Because of godson, he’s now had the chance to meet his favorite artist and Kid’s boss… Stevie B.
Check out this chat I had with Kid K. The kid is a teenage phenom. You’ll hear his talent on the Q105 Saturday Night Dance Party tonight at 10:20 as he features a megamix with a bunch of the acts playing Tampa’s Freestyle Explosion this year. And be sure to get to Amalie Arena early as you’ll hear Kid tearing it up on stage before DJ Slice and I kick off Freestyle Explosion Throwback Jam!
