The votes have been tallied to decide America’s Best DJ in 2014, and Markus Schulz has come out on top! Schulz is German, but lives in Miami, FL with his wife, making him eligible for this annual competition presented by Pioneer DJ and DJ Times. Last year, Kaskade won the coveted title, so he won’t be in the running again until 2015. No DJ is allowed to win two times in a row. This victory for Markus Schulz isn’t really a shocker — Kaskade and Markus have been handing the title off to each other since Kaskade took the top spot in 2011. Regarding his second and most recent win, Schulz told DJ Times:
“Receiving this news is such an incredible honor. I have never been in this industry for the sole purpose of winning awards, and my biggest accomplishment in life is having the ability to connect and entertain those who believe in me and what I do on a daily basis.”
He also posted to a message to fans via Twitter/Instagram:
An incredible honor and yet again humbled by your support. Thanks to all at DJ Times and Pioneer for… http://t.co/0vvXvUBmbx
