Over the past school year, Vincent Douglas ’25 has become somewhat of a celebrity around Archbishop Riordan High School. He is well known as DJ Lō, for his telecast shows, Music Minute, and Movie Monday, and is the president of DJ Club.

Douglas said he first came up with the character of DJ Lō in 8th grade. He said that DJ Lō is kind of like an alter-ego for him, similar to David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust.

DJ Lō first joined DJ Club his freshman year, and has been heavily involved since – teaching members how to DJ, DJing for Riordan sports games and for the Saint Cecilia’s festival, where he first premiered the DJ Lō character.

Last school year, Assistant Principal of Student Affairs, Brian Kelly, reached out to the DJ Club to ask if they could play music over the intercom in the mornings after R-Time, and Douglas jumped at the opportunity. He came up with different genres for different days of the week, like Throwback Thursday and 21st Century Tuesday, and would put the different songs on the R-Time slides. After that, Digital Media instructor Viggen Rassam reached out to DJ Lō, asking if he wanted to do a segment on Telecast instead of the R-Time slides, and Douglas accepted. “It started off as me just kinda picking songs to play in the morning, and now I get to talk about them. This kinda thing is what I’ve been hoping for since I joined DJ Club,” he said.

As a current senior, DJ Lō said that his main focus at Riordan has been DJ Club, and he hopes that DJ Club will continue the Music Minute segment on Telecast after he graduates. “I really like this experience, and there’s so many people I wanna thank.”

In college, Douglas hopes to continue to DJ and the DJ Lō character. When asked if he had any advice for those interested in DJing at Riordan, he said, “DJ Club will definitely teach you the main skill sets that you need… I went in knowing nothing, and now I can set up the entire deck and play by myself. I know how everything works.”
