Biography

DJ Hollywood (born Anthony Holloway; December 10, 1954) is an American MC and disc jockey. In 1978 and 1979, DJ Hollywood was the first DJ to bring turntables and a mixer to perform at the Apollo Theater. Before long, club owners in the South Bronx hired Hollywood to play at a club called Club 371. Most of DJ Hollywood’s body of musical work was live, not recorded, although he did release a single "Shock Shock The House" in 1980 on CBS Records. Until the mid-1980s, Hollywood was one of the top DJs. He retired from the business.
