    Interview with DJ Hollywood

    By: Where It Begins

    Q. What made you want to be a DJ?

    A. My dad always played music and had a home entertainment system, and I was very popular in high school and I began doing parties with the entertainment system just for fun in apartments for high school kids. One day, a guy said to me he would pay me $50 to have an apartment party and then I realized I could start making money doing this.

    Q. What is one of your special moments you’ve had being a DJ?

    A. I was called to DJ at a major 21 and up club, and I was 18 and very excited. I wasn’t able to DJ because unfortunately I got arrested that night. That night taught me to slow down and focus on what you’re doing. It’s not about play. It’s about business.

    Q. What differentiate you from the rest of the DJ?

    A. I don’t entertain by just playing music. The music brings the party to life, and it brings me to life. So, as they say “The life of the party”, I am the life of the party. I interact with the crowd. I make myself one with the crowd. I communicate with the crowd. I make myself one with the crowd so I can understand the environment and what kind of music to play.

    Q. Who would you consider to be a DJ Legend?

    A. That’s a good question. I would say DJ Big Chris. He was very famous for Djing at the UBar. He left an imprint not just in Djing but the state of GA.

    Q. Who or What Influenced you to be a DJ?

    A. My Father.

    Q. Can you give any advice to upcoming DJs?

    A. Make yourself known. Don’t be quiet. Be vocal and that doesn’t mean just by speaking. Be vocal in your appearance, your outfits, your hair. Definitely be confident and gather a following. Know your market and let your market expand for you.

    Interview with DJ Flux

    By: Where It Begins

    Q. What made you want to be a DJ?

    A. When I moved to New Jersey from Jamaica I listened to Hot 97 Broadcasting out of NYC specifically ED lover Dr Dre in the morning and DJ FunkMaster Flex and I just fell in love from there.

    Q. What differentiate you from the rest of the DJ’s?

    A. I don’t care about money like that, it comes, it goes. I just have my code that I lived by and that’s always kept me grounded when dealing with people or labels who are wanting to work certain records. Don’t get it twisted, yes, I have to be compensated for my talents and access but within discretion. Money thrown in my face doesn’t impress me. Also, I’m an all-around DJ, I have done radio, I can speak on the mic, I am very technical. I use Turntables, Controllers or CDJS. I can Battle, scratch and host on the mic. I worked very hard to be well rounded in all things.

    Q. Who or what influenced you to be a DJ?

    A. Listening to radio and later being in radio I college really led me to take the craft super seriously.

    Q. Can you give any advice to upcoming DJ’s?

    A.  Take the craft seriously, study the past and know that you have to practice at your skills. Most of it is pure talent and it factor but you must practice, after all practice makes perfect.

    Interview with DJ Nikki Reignz

    By: Where It Begins

    Q. What made you want to be a DJ?

    A. I actually never knew that I wanted to be a DJ until I actually started Djing. My husband was the one who wanted to get into Djing. So, after all of the equipment was purchased, he never really had the time to learn it. I was home all the time and I just started messing around with it…. then I became OBSESSED! I fell in love with it ever since.

    Q. What kind of equipment do you like working with?

    A. I actually love working on all equipment. Turntables, controllers, and CDJ’s. It all just depends on what mood I am in. They all give a different feel.

    Q. What differentiate you from the rest of the DJ’s?

    A. Me! Every DJ has their own way of playing. Sing selection, timing, and energy….. I am what makes me different because no one can do me the way I DO ME!

    Q. Can you give any advice to upcoming DJs?

    A. Make sure to surround yourself with people who will encourage your growth and who you can learn from. Also, PRACTICE! You will never be too good to not have to practice. Work on your craft daily. Oh, and one more thing…. Keep going! It certainly is fun and is very rewarding (As with anything when you love what you do), but it is hard work and is not as easy a road. You’ll definitely have your moments but don’t give up. I promise it’s worth it!

    Interview with DJ Precisa

    By: Where It Begins

    Q. What made you want to be a DJ?

    A. I have collected music since I was very little (8 years old) and I was like a weird little girl who doesn’t play with dolls. I was playing with tapes, Walkman, and headphones all day. When someone introduced me to a mixer it was a completely new world for me and I can’t stop, I remember my mother said stop with this bull mess you would never be someone if you don’t study and continue with this stupid music, I literally followed my dream and now I’m here living the American Dream and making a living from what I love.

    Q. What differentiate you from the rest of the DJ’s?

    A. I’m a warrior naturally of where I come from, always trying to survive and I never stop to push, hustling daily and always thinking how I can help the brands and the companies that I work with grow and have more business, for me if I win, you win, we all win teamwork.

    Q. How would you define your “Style” or approach to providing DJ Entertainment?

    A. My style is hype. Energetic full of love here to make you happy and make your business make money, as a mobile DJ I want to create memories in the clients and providing the best sound, beautiful and clean set up to the venue.

    Q. Who or What influenced you to be a DJ?

    A. 100% the Hip-Hop culture and general; the freestyle, the lyrics with contents one of them was Public Enemy.

    Q. Can you give any advice to upcoming DJ’s?

    A. Follow the heart beats, work hard and evaluate how much you love the music, if you just do it for the money or fame this is not your career, in this game one day you have everything and the next you don’t know it’s a constant war and just the strongest survive.

  • The Power of Self-Talk

    The power of Self-Talk

    The most important conversations you will ever have are the ones you have internally. What you say to yourself becomes your truth.

    Praise yourself often and share your successes with others. Speak about yourself with patience,  forgiveness, and love. Humility and pride are not at odds with each other; you can be humble and still be proud of your accomplishments.

    Be kind with your words to yourself,  because they are incredibly powerful.
