The resident DJ sensation recently hosted and spun at the 3rd Annual “Make Noise to Save a Life” fundraiser on Sunday January 15th.
The event took place at the House of Blues and raised awareness and funds for the Samaritans, a local suicide prevention and support organization that serves the Greater Boston and Metrowest areas.
We sat down with Joe to ask him a few questions about this hit-mixer’s Philanthropic lifestyle.
