Dwayne	Minard	jokes	that	he	owes	his	career	to	Rick	Astley.	When	the	popular	
nightclub	Studebaker’s	held	a	lip-sync	contest	in	the	early	90s,	they	found	their	
winner	wasn’t	simply	a	ringer	for	the	popular	teen	idol	but	a	young	music	geek	with	
a	deep	love	for	classic	soul	and	70s	music.	Studebaker’s	hired	Dwayne	as	a	DJ	and	
what	began	for	him	as	a	fun,	part-time	gig	playing	retro	tunes	every	weekend	
became	an	ongoing	education	in	reading	a	crowd	and	learning	how	to	mix	with	
classic	Motown	and	disco.
In	2000,	after	a	long	stint	as	a	top	40	DJ,	Dwayne	decided	to	focus	on	playing	house	
music.	By	2001,	Dwayne	met	songwriter	Gavin	Bradley	and	they	formed	the	
production	duo	Righteous,	a	teaming	that	would	lead	to	a	string	of	club	hits.	Their	
bootleg	of	Tina	Turner’s	“Let’s	Stay	Together”	was	an	early	international	success	
and	by	2005	Righteous	signed	their	first	official	single,	“Soul	Clappin”	to	UK	label	
Refunkt	Records.	Their	follow	up	single	for	the	label	“Love	is	Love”	(featuring	MJ	
White)	was	later	featured	on	the	influential	UK	dance	label	Hed	Kandi	compilation,
“Disco	Heaven	2006”.	In	Canada the	duo’s	remix	of	Nelly	Furtado’s	single	“Try”	
became	a	mainstream	radio	hit	on	Chum	FM	&	Proud	FM	in	Toronto.
Dwayne’s	signature	sound	of	funky,	uplifting	house	led	to	DJ	sets	in	famed	London,	
UK	clubs	Pacha	and	The	End	as	well	as	sets	in	Vancouver, Montreal,	Los	Angeles	&	
Miami.	Meanwhile,	he	became	a	mainstay	of	Toronto’s	gay	scene	through	regular	
residencies	at	Fly	nightclub,	Pitbull	and	his	current	stint	as	the	creator,	promoter	&	
DJ	of	Daddy	Next	Door.
Dwayne’s	latest	single	“Don’t	Never	Change”	(featuring	Tami	Neilson)	is	available	
now	on	Supa	Qween	Records.

The Control Room Radio #023 [Dwayne Minard Guest Mix]

Dwayne Minard jokes that he owes his career to Rick Astley. When the popular nightclub Studebaker’s held an lip-sync contest in the early 90s, they found their winner wasn’t simply a strong, strong man but someone with a stage presence of his own and a deep love for classic soul and 70s music. Studebaker’s hired Dwayne as a DJ and what began for him as a fun part-time gig playing retro tunes every weekend became an ongoing education in reading a crowd and learning how to mix with classic Motown and disco.

In 2000, Dwayne met songwriter Gavin Bradley and they formed the production duo Righteous, a teaming that would lead to a string of club hits. “Stay Together” was an early success and as a nod to Dwayne’s roots, they sampled some Rick Astley vocals in “The DJ Plays.” In 2005, Righteous were signed to UK label Refunkt with the disco anthem “Soul Clappin’” their first single and “Love is Love” (featuring MJ White) its massive follow-up. The song was later featured on “Disco Heaven 2006,” a compilation from the influential UK dance label Hed Kandi, while the Righteous remix of Nelly Furtado’s “Try” became a mainstream radio hit on Chum FM in Toronto.

Dwayne’s signature sound of funky, uplifting house led to DJ sets in Vancouver, at Miami’s White Party and in famed London UK clubs Pacha and The End. Meanwhile, he became a mainstay of Toronto’s gay scene through regular residencies at Fly nightclub, lüb lounge and his current stint at Pitbull.

Expanding on their Righteous success, Dwayne and Gavin created White Punks on Dope, a new side project for performing and for developing their musical palette into tougher electro sounds. After debuting with “Destination House,” the White Punks on Dope remix of “Good Look” for Mic Boogie became a cross-Canada chart hit. In a bigger step, Dwayne took the mic himself as lead vocalist on their original song “Chemicals,” a duet with Fritz Helder (Azari & III).

Dwayne then approached Canadian soul veteran Billy Newton-Davis to write and perform the vocals on his first solo production, “When You’re This Big,” released on Daddy Funk Records, while Fritz Helder and artists like Amanda Morra sought him out for remixes. While he continues to be the  resident DJ at a number of venues, Dwayne also spins at the club nights he now promotes himself, as the creator of popular parties Mr. Big and Daddy Next Door. His career may have been launched almost by accident but, in venues big and small, Dwayne’s infectious love of house music has made him a favourite of club-goers.
