    Interview with Robbie Creytens

    By: Where It Begins

    Q. Tell everyone who Creytens is?

    A. I am a 27 years old online entrepreneur living in Bruges, Belgium. I firmly believe that everything you believe in you can achieve, in my opinion a dream is just a goal with a death line.

    Q. How did you get into teaching people about Finance?

    A. In the past I worked as a self-employed insurance broker educating people about the importance of protecting yourself socially, mostly the importance of savings, Until I partnered with an online educational platform that teaches people a skill set to multiply their money on the largest financial market in the world (Forex).

    Q. You’ve been to so many different countries. Which one is your favorite?

    A. It would not be fair to pick one because every country has its own beauty. But I can tell you the one that was the most unexpected. Astana, Kazakhstan was an eye-opener for me first of all because I never thought to travel to KZ, secondly because Astana was incredibly modern, it was like Dubai 2.0. If someone wants to travel to an unexplored country KZ is a recommendation.

    Q. What projects are you working on and where can everyone follow you?

    A. At this point I want to keep doing what I am doing, keep impacting people’s lives, developing my skills as a leader, speaker & entrepreneur and living the best possible life. I am very active on social media people can follow me on:

    Interview with DJ Brooke Bailey

    By: Where it Begins

     

    Q. What made you want to be a DJ?

    A. Well I was engaged to a deejay. One day his manager came up to me asking if I wanted to learn deejaying since we had all the equipment at home and there was a huge shortage in female deejays at the time. So that’s how it started. However, it really made me want to be a deejay was the fact that deejaying enabled me to share acrobats on a bigger platform. I had always loved my roots and deejaying finally gave me a platform to display this.

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

    A. I mainly play Afrobeats. That’s what I am good at. It’s what I’m proud of. I can go to a Hip-Hop party and still play 60% Afrobeat and people will dance. I can make my audience LOVE afrobeats (at least for a night). So that along with good mixing skills really set me apart.

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

    A. I try to stick to my Afrobeats based sets, but I add a little of the local sound to whatever country I got. This makes the audience feel like you also appreciate their local sound and most of the time this has a positive effect on the crowd. I also try to socialize with the audience wherever I go, so I come in a little early and stay a little after I have played.

    Q. What made you go into predominantly Afro beats?

    A. I’m mixed Ghanaian and Belgian, growing up in Belgium I faced a lot of racism, so I always felt more comfortable with my African side. So Afrobeats became a way for me to feel more African in a non-African environment. It was hard at first because no one really cared about Afrobeats a few years ago. But I decided that it was Afrobeats I wanted to represent and I’m glad I did.

    Q. Can you give any advice to upcoming DJs?

    A. Push through. Play the music you love even if it’s not a mainstream music genre. If you can become a master in your niche, you can still become a star in your own little market.
