School is back in session... On Saturday, September 23 from 9pm - 2am, grab your backpack and books and get to Porkroll :: BACK TO SCHOOL. Don't be late or else our special guest professor DJ Manny Ward, will make you stay after class and clap erasers on the chalkboard.
Manny Ward has always been around music, as most musicians are. His stepdad produced funk and soul, who eventually brought him out to his first club experience at the Funhouse in NYC and the fateful meeting with the Godfather of House, Frankie Knuckles, who took Manny under his wing and launched his DJ career in NYC.
Through these journeys of following music, then DJ-ing when he was in the military at base parties, , then playing along side Knuckles at New York’s famous Roxy, Sound Factory Bar, and regular gigs at Stereo in Montreal, to eventually producing his own remixes and tracks, this Staten Island boy, saw a dream realized.
This second phase of his career has seen many more milestones as he ramped up his production skills with notable remix opportunities. He has been able to collaborate with many talented producers and musicians , including Celeda. Lula, and DJ Gomi, with whom he reintroduced legendary Sandy B with new original music written by all three performance at Lil’ Louie Vega’s Roots party at Cielo in New York.
