Interview with Kel The DJ
By: Where It Begins
Q. Do you think that it is hard for women DJs to get gigs?
A. In some ways yes. I often see events that are catered to women that have a male DJ involved. There is a lot of work that should be done by the organizers to ensure a female DJ is there.
Q. What made you want to be a DJ?
A. I was always involved in music since I was 4 years old. My uncle was a DJ and I always put together mixtapes for my friends. It turned into me creating playlists for events. I decided to find a mentor to show me the technical aspects of being a DJ.
Q. Who is your favorite DJ of all time?
A. DJ Jazzy Jeff of course. He is from my hometown Philadelphia, PA. I was able to see him live recently. My style is similar to his.
Q. What or who inspired you to be a DJ?
A. My uncle inspired me. I used to watch him or steal his tapes secretly because I was a music fanatic.
Q. Can you give any advice to upcoming DJ
A. Practice as much as you can. Watch instructional videos. Seek mentorship with someone that is established and has the time for you. There are DJ schools out there.
