Romar’s DJing for Hopsin- along with touring with other notable artists, such as Ludacris and B.O.B - solidified his status as a DJ, Romar said. Romar said eventually, his consistent performances and flair caught the eye of Billboard-charting rapper Hopsin, which allowed him to get his foot in the door. Romar said he went on to DJ at several clubs and bars in Hollywood, which eventually led to him making contacts within the field. Romar and senior Asher Witham have a special relationship as both are trying to increase the energy at Firestone Fieldhouse on game days. DJ Kevin Romar mixes beats at a nightclub Sept. “DJ Romar and I don’t necessarily talk a whole lot outside of this, but it’s been cool to cultivate a cool work relationship and be a part of a team with him like that,” Witham said. Through this, he said he is able to engage fans at Pepperdine and foster a positive atmosphere during sporting events. Romar said he is able to bring a special attribute to the games, elevating the experience for all. But, DJ Romar keeps it fun, keeps it hype.” “DJ Romar is always very clutch and definitely makes an awesome environment,” Witham said. In addition to this, Witham said he feels a sort of connection with Romar due to the intersection of their duties. Witham said Romar is an essential part to keep people engaged - he has an ability to keep things fresh and consistently high-energy. “It’s huge in cultivating a culture and a community where everyone feels like they have a place and everyone can get excited and have fun and just feel welcome.” “My freshman year I was known as the dancing guy,” Witham said. Romar is an essential component of creating the environment that Witham and his fellow Riptide members hope to work toward. Witham is now the current head of Riptide. It was a learning process.”įour years ago, as Romar mixed beats during events at Firestone, senior Asher Witham, galvanized by Romar’s music, made a lasting impression as an enthusiastic and particularly energetic member of Riptide - Pepperdine’s student cheering section. Take them to this club, and we’ll get his people to come here.’ I kind of dove in head-first with DJing without knowing the experience of DJing clubs and stuff like that. “Then one thing led to another where people found out that I’m a pro-skater. “I started DJing about 10 years ago,” Romar said. He’d eventually establish himself as a DJ as well, leading him to DJing at several events, including at Pepperdine.
