The layoffs and furloughs that have gone into effect because of the Coronavirus closures have financially devastated millions. Concerts and events have stopped, clubs are closed, and a countless number of artists are hurting because they can’t make money touring. In addition to the tour staff being affected, hundreds of local and national DJs are out of work.

Instead of expressing his sympathy to fellow DJs on social media, DJ Envy utilized Instagram to promote his fundraising efforts. Here’s what DJ Envy stated on the I Love My DJ GoFundMe page:
“During this pandemic you’ve seen DJs step up to the plate and throw virtual parties to keep the spirits up during this quarantine. It’s tough right now for so many DJs to provide for their families with no bars, clubs, lounges or events to work. For a lot of DJs there is no unemployment option, health care, savings or retirement plan. This is a fitting opportunity to come together and support those who uplift and entertain us through their musical craft.”
