Damien Williams, widely known as DWI or “The Podfather,” is a pioneering force in independent radio, podcasting, and music production.  Born and raised in the Bronx, New York, Williams was immersed in the entertainment industry from an early age, with his mother working at a talent agency.  This early exposure ignited his passion for media and led him to establish Damatrix Studios Network (DSN) in 1999, starting from a modest home studio setup.
