DJ Bonics is the professional name of Brandon Glova, born September 4, 1980, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and based in Pittsburgh. He spent seven years as the afternoon drive DJ and mixer for WKST-FM, a Kiss-FM station in Pittsburgh, building broadcast DJ skills before transitioning full-time to touring and nightclub performance. In 2010, he became the official DJ for Wiz Khalifa, a partnership that coincided with and contributed to Khalifa's breakthrough from Pittsburgh mixtape circuit figure to mainstream rap star — the Taylor Gang debut Waken & Baken Tour, which DJ Bonics helmed, covered 56 shows across 26 states and Canada, selling out 97 percent of dates and reaching nearly 100,000 tickets. His career with Wiz Khalifa placed him inside hip-hop's most commercially accelerating trajectory of the early 2010s, touring alongside a recording artist whose Rostrum Records output and subsequent Young Money / Atlantic Records deal reshaped how Pittsburgh rap reached national audiences. He has shared stages with Snoop Dogg, Mac Miller, and Big Sean — artists whose collective catalog spans multiple decades of West Coast, Pittsburgh, and Detroit hip-hop, giving DJ Bonics consistent exposure to different regional styles and audience demographics that feed directly into his open-format nightclub sets. In December 2010, while on a brief break from touring, DJ Bonics suffered a heart attack caused by a blocked artery and underwent surgery. He recovered within a week and resumed performing with Wiz Khalifa. The experience led him to found the Bonics Heartbeats Foundation, a charitable organization focused on heart health awareness and healthy living advocacy. He has participated in American Heart Association benefit events, using his platform in hip-hop to promote cardiac health in communities where such conversations have historically been underrepresented. His open-format DJ philosophy covers hip-hop, R&B, reggaeton, Latin trap, house, and EDM crossovers — the same range demanded by premium Las Vegas nightclubs where a single night's audience spans multiple genre preferences and demographic backgrounds. His 2026 Las Vegas residency at Hakkasan Nightclub at MGM Grand on July 30, 2026, places him in the largest nightclub on the Las Vegas Strip by square footage and one of the most recognized hip-hop nightclub programming venues on the Strip. Hakkasan's hip-hop nights draw audiences who value authenticity in the DJ behind the booth, and DJ Bonics' decade-plus tenure as Wiz Khalifa's official touring DJ provides a credential that stands independently of any individual production credit.
