When searching for soul, we stumbled across a super talented musician who goes by the name of Djru da 7th Prez. Djru puts a unique twist on his music, presenting the listeners with something catchy yet original to latch onto. He uses interesting rhythms and a distinct style of delivery to express his well thought out words. From first listen, it’s clear that hot riffs and tight harmonies are this guy’s thing.

In addition to musical skills, Djru is a talented actor. As many of the best musicians do, Djru relies on his acting skills to bring his overall musical performances to the next level, which only serves to further engage his audience. This rising star was not only a contestant on American Idol, but has preceded performances by Cupid, Mary J. Blige, Musiq Soulchild, Lil Wayne and many fantastic local acts.
