Since its inception, DJ B-Mello has been a mainstay of the KEXP urban music community.  Known best for supporting independent artists, getting them heard on the radio and keeping a close ear to the underground scene, DJ B-Mello is making some changes in his career.
"KEXP has been an amazing experience for me and it will always  be a huge part of who I am as a DJ and what I stand for in terms of discovery of new music and the support of developing talent.  Change is good, I'm looking forward to what's coming next.
DJ B-Mello known well for developing the highly influential radio show Street Sounds for KEXP since the day the station opened, is leaving KEXP to pursue more national music industry career moves.

But new opportunity has come to B-Mello who is now scheduled to consult for the new Death Row Records – aka Wideawake Death Row Entertainment working Death Row product  in North America including working with radio programmers, clubs, DJ's, special remix contests and initiatives.
"Given my long history living in the Northwest before becoming the CEO of WIDEawake Entertainment Group, I am really happy to create an opportunity for B-Mello and work closely with him to help bring new life into Death Row. I think having someone who really understands the national and international club scene and how Death Row can play in is a huge a plus for our company."
