Who Is DJ Susan? Meet the Exuberant DJ Who Captured the Hearts of Miami Music Week 2022
With great mustache comes great power—and DJ Susan has it in droves. Based in San Diego, Susan made a cross-country flight last week to immerse himself in the hedonism of Miami Music Week, a pilgrimage he takes annually. And he made his presence felt. But that wasn’t by design, as if he concocted some kind of masterplan to kick up dust in the name of fame like a hellbent TikToker. It’s just in his nature.

If his unbridled personality didn’t pull you in like a magnet to a fridge, it was his giant bear-hugs.
