Before landing on Jersey Shore, Pauly D was just another DJ getting by on local gigs. Three years later he's still proud to be a DJ, but he's fistpumping for a much bigger audience. Since launching his reality TV career, the well-coiffed turntable master has supported Britney Spears on her Femme Fatale tour and is starring on his own spin-off show, The Pauly D Project.
