DJ Vlad
Vladimir Lyubovny (Russian: Владимир Любовный; born June 28, 1973), better known as DJ Vlad, is a disc-jockey and executive vice president at Loud.com, part of the SRC/Universal family. Vlad has produced and directed films. He is also CEO of VladTV.com - a video website that many refer to as "The TMZ of Hip-Hop."
A computer science graduate of UC Berkeley, Vlad began his career as a computer programmer. He eventually started his own dot-com staffing company, GigaStaff.
In 2000, Vlad closed down GigaStaff and turned his attention to music. He moved to New York and helped create Rap Phenomenon along with DJ Dirty Harry. The Rap Phenomenon mixtapes won awards from Rolling Stone, MTV and XXL magazine.
Vlad then turned his attention towards film. He directed on the American Gangster TV Series, as well as the documentary film Ghostride the Whip. DJ Vlad also produced and hosted Russell Simmons' and Stan Lathan's Hip-Hop on Demand - a nationally syndicated, on-demand Hip-Hop lifestyle channel on Comcast.
