Meet local DJ for the Broncos as he prepares for playoff game
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) - As tailgaters flock to empower field at Mile High tomorrow, they'll get some extra help getting hyped thanks to the music bumping through the stadium lots.
KRDO13 spoke to the man tasked with bringing the energy, Michael Waldron, also known as DJ Lil Joe, who gets to bleed orange, while earning a paycheck for it.
"Broncos fans are loyal to a tee. The energy is electric and I absolutely love it," says Waldron.
Michael Waldron tells us he grew up in Colorado Springs before taking his talent to Denver.
"I was actually part of the first graduating class from Mesa Ridge," says Waldron.
And shortly after walking that stage, he says he quickly found his passion on a new stage, by DJing.
Something he's now been doing for the past 11 years as part of the Broncos and Bud Light Tailgate. A job that's allowed him to be front and center for some pretty amazing NFL moments
"Every game has gotten more and more electric. You know, I get on the mic, I pump up the crowd," says Waldron.
And DJ Lil Joe expects the crowd tomorrow to be on another level.
"The thing that I love about deejaying in general is you get to take people on an entertainment journey," says Waldron. "So being able to do that with music on top of them, just being so pumped up for their favorite team, it's just like there's no other way to describe it, but it's like a natural high."
Broncos fans are certainly hoping they'll be leaving the stadium tomorrow on a natural high of their own, but, either way, you can join us after tomorrow's match-up, where Rob Namnoum will bring you all the post-game reactions...from a winning locker room with any luck.
