Andre Parris, most known as DJ Puffy, is a Barbadian DJ and producer who shot to global fame after winning the 2016 Red Bull 3Style World Championship, becoming the first Caribbean DJ to take the title. Starting on local radio and party scenes at the young age of 7, Puffy grew popular and quickly gained attention for his genre-defying mixes blending soca, dancehall, hip-hop, afrobeat, and electronic, with unmatched energy.
He has now played in over 30 countries, representing Caribbean culture on some of the world’s biggest stages across North & Central America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the U.S. Other accolades of his include being the winner of Red Bull Culture Clash with “No Long Talk”, winner of the International DJ of the Year at the Caribbean Music Awards (2024), and Two-time winner of Toronto’s 24Hours/24DJs competition.
Puffy has released music with artists such as Teff HInkson, and shared stages with Chronixx, Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes, 2 Chainz, and more.
