Remembering DJ Fingaz

Francisco Barbosa Jr. — to us and so many others, simply Fingaz — was never just a DJ. He was a true curator of culture. A connector. A brother in every sense of the word. And a passionate force who left his mark on Boston’s music, nightlife, and entertainment scene in ways we’ll never forget.He didn’t just play music—he created moments. He didn’t chase attention—he earned respect. And no matter where you crossed paths with him—behind the booth, on a mic, or in a room full of creatives—his presence was undeniable.He was a friend, a father, a sibling, a JR, and a man who never held back from speaking his truth or standing on what he believed in. Whether he meant to or not, Fingaz had this way of bringing people together… and now, looking back, that might be one of the most beautiful parts of his legacy.To say we’re grateful would never be enough. Thank you for letting us share even a small piece of your journey. Thank you for showing up the way you did. For saying what others wouldn’t. For always pushing the culture forward.From all of us at But I Know The DJ — your voice, your energy, your passion will live on in every conversation, and every night that brings us back to those moments you helped create.Long live the legacy of DJ Fingaz.June 24th, 2025 — and forever. 🖤🎧
