What started as a passion for music and the motivation to keep people dancing quickly became a life’s work for Rican McGusty. Along with years of experience in the field of civil engineering, he has combined his diverse expertise for a career not only as a deejay but an event planner and all around entrepreneur.

DJ BigReeks also coordinates and executes a weekly live radio mix on All Real Radio. Not only has DJ BigReeks expanded to multiple weekly and monthly deejaying events, The Waxaholics’ events have grown to include star deejays from all over the country, live music performances and have garnered sponsorship from Houston’s Mega DJ Center, Sig’s Lagoon Record Shop and All Real Radio.
