  • Interview with DJ Stormy

    Interview with DJ Stormy

    By: Where it Begins

     

    Q. How did you get the name DJ Stormy?

    A. Stormy is so much more than a name. I evacuated in Atlanta during Hurricane Katrina. What I thought was going to be a two-day mini vacation turned into months of uncertainty. We were identified as evacuees from the storm. Months turned into years from this life-changing disaster. Hurricane Katrina became a part of me, so I became a Storm(y)! The perfect storm to be exact! My social media is Stormy Atl, because New Orleans raised me, and Atlanta birthed the entertainer you see today.

    Q. What made you want to be a DJ?

    A. I was on the business side of the music industry for years, but I always had this ear and love for music. I released an EDM/Hip-Hop EP in 2016 titled “Venom Kisses”! In the EDM genre most artists are DJ’s, so it was a natural progression for me to evolve into a DJ. Unfortunately, it was also one of the hardest tasks set in front of me…being a woman and a woman of color in a male dominated industry.

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

    A. I believe what differentiates me from the other DJs is the work I put in building my brand and respect in this industry. Nothing comes easy or overnight to anyone. My energy, style, and ability to entertain is very unique.

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

    A. My mother was a Soca singer in the Caribbean and father an avid lover of all music genres. I am originally from Trinidad and Tobago but grew up in New Orleans in what I feel is one of the most influential music cities in America. Spinderella, Jazzy Jeff, Mannie Fresh and so many others inspire me daily as a DJ.

    Q. Can you give any advice to upcoming DJs?

    A. The biggest piece of advice I can give any new DJ is to be YOU. There is no need for two Stormy’s in the market. Be original at everything you do. Always seek a mentor and spend time learning the craft. Educate yourself on the history and evolution of being a DJ. If it comes easy, it’s probably because you’re not setting yourself apart. Take the time to build relationships. Take the time to invest in yourself. My motto is to always go against the grain and be bold in everything that you do.
