that he got a call a month ago from a producer of the convention, who told him they wanted him to become the convention’s “first musical maestro” for the DNC’s roll call. He told the outlet that there were many hours of “meticulous curation” involved in the choosing of songs, saying, “None of them were freestyle.”

DJ Cassidy said it was a “surreal feeling to see the ‘Pass the Mic’ experience connected to the roll call.”

“It hit me differently than I thought it would,” he said. “It felt like it brought a new life to the process that people take for granted. And the process is giving people a voice.”
