Blake Mycoskie

TOMS shoes are our neighbors here in Santa Monica and we are thrilled to host Founder Blake Mycoskie for a Guest DJ set. Music has made a big impact on him and he’s made a big impact on the world, with his entrepreneurial and generous spirit. For every pair of shoes they sell, they donate a pair to a person in need and they just recently expanded into glasses. Blake finds inspiration in many places and shares the songs that mean the most to him.
