    Interview with Anthony Neves

    By: Where It Begins

    Q. Tell us more about who Anthony is?

    A. I would say that I’m a very passionate person. I’m very passionate about what I love and the people I love, family is everything to me. When people look at me on the outside, they may view me as intimidating, mean, having a rough day etcetera, but I actually have a real sensitive side like “A Big Teddy Bear”.

    Q. Who or what inspired you to be a fitness trainer?

    A. Well, I’ve always been an athlete growing up, but the inspiration of fitness training came when I met this one brother at the gym. When I first started my weight training journey, he taught me so much and inspired me each time we train together. He basically took me under his wing and started that solid foundation. He is someone I will never forget; Gee was his name.

    Q. How do you stay fit and healthy?

    A. I’m always on the go, so that helps (ha-ha). I would say just staying consistent all these years with training and more than anything eating healthy. My number one weapon believes it or not is good old water, a gallon a day for over 15 years.

    Q. What is one of your greatest experiences?

    A. I would have to say growing up playing football and basketball during my youth days. Especially football, which my dad introduced me to. I was always looking forward to driving to practices, especially on game day. Seeing my parents in the stands at every game, and taking those rides to practice with my dad, were the happiest days of my life. Football will always be my first love. I miss it every day, and those experiences will be with me forever.

    Q. What has been the hardest experience in your life?

    A. Well, without going into depth details, I had to grow up real fast at a young age. It was a rough patch in my life, but I think it taught me about facing our adversities that we may go through in life. You can overcome anything in life as long as you never give up and do the best that you can with the cards you’re dealt.

    Interview with DJ AASHA ADORE

    By: Where it Begins

     

    Q. What made you want to be a DJ?

    A. I always liked to put songs together, at the time I was doing it and it didn’t dawn on me that people actually do this for a living. It wasn’t until I was old enough to see a live DJ and think “This is what I’ve been wanting to do!

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

    A. I play what I want. I can’t be anyone’s jukebox, that wasn’t the foundation that Djing was built upon. Trusting a DJ to mix your party means trusting their ear. My ear is quite the variety of genres.

    A. DJ Scratch & Jazzy Jeff can’t just pick one.
