Andre "Dre" Robinson, also known as DJ Deaf Tunez, was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts. He was born with hearing loss; however, he can do anything except hearing. When Robinson was young always wanted to be a DJ. Growing up, he wasn’t sure he’d make it as a DJ because of his deafness and thought he didn’t know how Deaf people could be successful. That’s when he found DJ Hear No Evil and DJ Nico: both of whom have been successful as Deaf/Hard of hearing DJs and have inspired Robinson to make it happen. Many people were afraid of him because of his hearing loss, but his work and network speak louder than those who doubt the Deaf! Learn more: https://www.djdeaftunez.com/
