    Interview with Vincent Ingala

    By: Where It Begins

    Q. Tell everyone who you are and what you do?

    A. My pleasure! My name is Vincent Ingala, and I am an urban jazz multi instrumentalist. I enjoy producing music in the studio and going on the road to perform and entertain.

    Q. What made you want to pursue a career in Jazz?

    A. I have been surrounded by music and have been playing music since as far back as I can remember. I was playing on the local scene all through high school and paying dues. Overtime, things started to progress on a more national level where I would get requests for appearances at jazz festivals all over the country, and things then progressed from there. It was a slow gradual process that took time, but my strong passion for music made it easy to enjoy each step of the process.

    Q. Let’s talk about “Fire & Desire” and the motivation behind the album?

    A. This album was recorded in 2020, when most musicians had nothing but time to create and write music since touring was not possible. As a result, I was able to pour all of my time and energy into this project without any distractions and bring some fresh new creations and ideas to life.

  • Interview with DJ Flux

    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

    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 Gorgeous

    Interview with DJ Gorgeous

    By: Where it Begins

    Q. What made you want to be a DJ?

    A. My passion/love for music made me want to be a DJ. I’ve been singing and dancing since I was 2 years old. At the age of 1a5 I became a promoter and saw how the people loved the DJ, saw how a DJ can send you home happy, take all of your worries away and I wanted to provide that experience. I like to see people enjoying themselves.

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

    A. I’m just like every other DJ, I don’t like to single myself out. We all have the same passion and drive. We are all trying to break artists and get each other’s name out there. I am a single mom, so that differentiates me from some other DJs.

    Q. Who is your favorite DJ of all time?

    A. I love Jazzy Jeff and Spinderella. I can’t pick between the two lol.

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

    A. I would consider Jam Master Jay is one because he was well known in the Hip-Hop community. Run DMC was unstoppable, and kids will learn about them in their history classes.

    -Jazzy Joyce has been breaking down bearers for female DJs since the early 80’ and recorded a few of her own songs. She gets left a lot.

    Q. Can you give any advice to upcoming DJs?

    A. Network, network, network. You never stop networking. And practice as much as you can. Lastly, do not let anyone sell you a dream.
