Interview with DJ Lucky Calhoun
By: Where It Begins
Quote “Every DJ has a different experience. For me, I was able to go around the world, see and do some different things besides getting locked into the average routine of a DJ like being in the clubs or doing house parties.”
Q. How did you come up with the name DJ Lucky Calhoun?
A. My original name when I entered the industry was DJ Swift C. After my music partner, Freddy Calhoun, professionally known as “Coolbreeze” and I linked up with Organized Noize, an Atlanta based music production team; I changed my name to Lucky Calhoun, and we became the Calhouns. The name stuck and I added the DJ to the front and have been known as DJ Lucky Calhoun ever since.
Q. What is one of the best experiences working as a DJ?
A. Every DJ has a different experience. For me, I was able to go around the world, see and do some different things besides getting locked into the average routine of a DJ like being in the clubs or doing house parties.
Q. Who is your biggest inspiration?
A. My mother. She raised 4 kids with little help. She made sure we had somewhere to live, food on the table and clothes on our backs. She is definitely my biggest inspiration.
Q. What other projects are you working on and where can everyone follow you?
A. Right now, I am currently working with 112 and Jagged Edge on a set of shows called “The Experience”. I am preparing to tour worldwide with 112 later this year. I am also looking at creating a podcast where I would showcase new artists and their music. I want to give them a platform of their own where they aren’t competing with popular artists of today.

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!
