World’s shortest club DJ won’t let his height stop him making big waves in music
Colombian DJ Yeison Enrique Delgado Castro, aka “Yeye”, isn’t just known for his charisma and great taste in music – he’s just as famous for his height.
Standing at 102.46 cm (3 ft 4 in), Yeye is officially the world’s shortest club DJ.
His record was verified in Caracas, Venezuela on 12 November 2022, and has seen him featured within the pages of Guinness World Records 2024.
His style, charm, and professionalism entertain audiences for hours at private parties and nightclubs.
Yeison learned to mix music on his own, and, in mixing, he found joy and potential to be one of the best.
His confidence led him to persevere and practise until he could become a professional DJ, despite having to go through difficult economic situations that did not allow him to advance as quickly as others.
“I knew that despite my financial situation nothing would stop me from achieving my dream,” Yeison said.
His greatest desire is to show the world that with clear goals, discipline, and desire he can achieve any goal he sets for himself.
He has never considered his height as an impediment to achieving his goals. In fact, he found in it an opportunity to stand out from the crowd.
People are usually surprised first by his size and second by his great talents as a DJ. They always ask him for photos and videos, and they approach him to follow him on his social networks. When they find out that he is the shortest club DJ, they congratulate him and compliment him.
For Yeison, it is very important to present quality work that highlights his talent and impressive skills with the mixers.
He has been working as a professional DJ for over 10 years. He enjoys seeing people relax and have a great time through music and dance.
It's something unique to see the public enjoying your work, the joy, the passion, the emotion. - Yeison.
Usually, people are surprised by his size and some doubt his abilities, but when they see him on set performing as a DJ they congratulate him and admire his great talent.
Yeye says the message that impacted him the most was: "Your humility and energy is the best. It makes you great, because you love what you do."
"For me it is an honour, a great satisfaction, emotion, there are many mixed feelings, because it was never easy, and I feel so happy, grateful to God and GWR for the attention for making it possible. I want to continue working and to be given the best job opportunities,” the DJ said.
"It's always an honour to be part of the GWR family.”
Yeye is a truly inspirational character, and proof that you should never let anyone else's expectations of you stop you from living your best life. If you're passionate about what you do, like Yeye is about playing music and entertaining crowds of people, then nothing should stand in your way of fulfilling your dreams and maybe even becoming a record breaker! - Craig Glenday, Editor-in-Chief at Guinness World Records
