Antwigadee

Born and raised in New Orleans as Antoine Barriere,

ANTWIGADEE! is an arranger and musician that uses a DJ controller as his instrument. He is no ordinary DJ,  but rather a “GROOOVE!MASTER” that bonds with his crowds by collaborating in dance, by entrancing them with his transitions, and immersing them in music from various decades and genres.

Known for electrifying sets that capture the pure sound of energy and diversity, he was named 2024’s New Orleans “Young Emerging Artist to Watch,” hot on the heels of receiving the city’s

Gambit Weekly “Best DJ” award in 2023. In addition to spinning as one of the official DJs for the NBA’s New Orleans Pelicans, most recently he had the opportunity to open for the world-renowned

DJ Questlove of The Roots in New Orleans.  

ANTWIGADEE! spins his debut DJ set at the Quantum Leap Music Festival on Friday, August 15th. Get ready to get down
