Book DJ Graffiti through The Keynote Curators

Biography

DJ Graffiti, also known as Martin Smith, is an internationally recognized DJ, emcee, speaker, and experience strategist who uses music to transform the energy of corporate events. Known as The Keynote DJ™, he combines genre-spanning music, inspirational speaking, and audience interaction to create engaging experiences for conferences, company kickoffs, celebrations, and virtual events. Brands including Amazon, Google, Nike, Campbell’s, and SAS have called on him to energize their audiences and make their events more memorable.

Named Best DJ in Detroit, DJ Graffiti has shared stages with some of music’s biggest names, including Beyoncé, Eminem, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Big Sean, and J. Cole. His distinctive approach goes beyond playing music. He carefully reads the room, personalizes the soundtrack, and connects different parts of an event so attendees remain energized, engaged, and ready to participate.

DJ Graffiti brings an uncommon combination of entertainment experience and business expertise to the stage. He holds business and law degrees from the University of Michigan and spent 14 years leading a digital marketing and branding agency before becoming The Keynote DJ™ full time. Drawing from his background in music, marketing, and event strategy, he helps organizations create authentic human connection, strengthen audience engagement, and replace forgettable event moments with energy, inspiration, and joy.
