The producer responsible for making Super Bowl Live sound and look like Atlanta is DJ Holiday. Weeks before the event, he told reporters that he would bring an authentic feel to Super Bowl Live.
“I’m going for the creme de la creme, the top of the charts, the hitmakers,” DJ Holiday told reporters. “We’re gonna do one of the biggest stages on Monday, I promise you.”
