DJ Baker was born in the Big Apple and drawn to the entertainment industry and performance from the start. From class clown to acting in school productions, DJ was a raw talent. By high school he was commanding the stage and gaining a certain celebrity among his peers. He was accepted to Pace University where he fell in love with the microphone. Pace University's college radio station had never seen anything like DJ. He went from hosting his own weekend show with barely any listeners to gaining the attention of the station manager and earning his first prime time spot during weekday evenings when everyone was listening. The show was called The Hip-Hop Flip Flop Show, alongside DJ Riff Raff, The show was a hit!

A serious financial set back forced him to leave college early and try to find his niche in the highly competitive New York radio market. DJ then returned to acting and performing improvisational stage work for which he received high praise. His plans were again derailed by an engagement, a break-up, a realization of his sexuality, and finally HIV. DJ's life went into a tailspin and he was struck hard by a serious drug. Through his storm he stayed close to TV and entertainment by appearing on the panels for The Ricki Lake Show, and in audiences on the talk show circuit.

   
After experiencing the First Annual PeaceOut East Festival, DJ decided to create his own niche by going back where he was most comfortable; radio. Da Doo-Dirty Show was born. DJ continued to audition for TV and movie roles, while increasing his dedication to his radio show. Da Doo-Dirty Show was picked up by online radio station Urbanradio.com at first to fanfare, where the show was increased from a 2 hour format to a 3 hr format. Later artistic differences forced Urbanradio.com and Da Doo-Dirty Show to part ways.

Da Doo-Dirty Show began to expand it's market with appearances in Chicago, and his first hosting job in Atlanta, Mondo Homo's LGBT Music Festival. While in Chicago, DJ attended a press conference and rally to ban a Buju Banton concert. A planned protest concert by Da Doo-Dirty Show in Chicago fell through, but protesters were successful in shutting down Buju Banton's concert. Da Doo-Dirty show has hit its newest milestone of over 500 shows and 4 Seasons of great interviews, candid talk, coverage and conversation not heard anywhere else. Da Doo-Dirty Show is now ready for the next level. (Season 5 coming September 14th, 2009)
