D. J. Beets

Background
Brian Winfrey was born in central eastern Massachusetts. He was interested in music and technology from a young age, eventually attending Porter and Chester Institute during the day while taking night courses in musical theory at Worcester State University. His hard work and study paid off. By his mid 20's, Brian was a working D.J. under the name "D.J. Beta Vulgaris". He's affectionately known as "D.J. Beets", the translation of his Latin moniker.

After becoming financially secure, Beets moved into a high end apartment in Westfield so that he could be central to all of the major venues in New England. The Beets Bus could easily get to New York City, Boston, Nashua, Hartford, and the various music festivals in adjacent states.

Present
D.J. Beets met Lucas at Spire Records. After chatting with Lucky for a while and getting some ideas for mixes, Beets gave Lucas his card and invited him to come to a show. Izadore correctly identified the pun in Beta Vulgaris' name after the D.J. left the store.

Beets is the hot thing, regionally. He's being asked to play the big venues and the most in-vogue clubs. He's more than happy to bring Lucas along for the ride, since the younger man is a virtual encyclopedia of musical knowledge. After leaning on Lucky to help him out when his assistant flaked, Beets invited Lucas to scout out a venue in New York City and ask as his assistant and gopher for the upcoming engagement.
