When someone introduced me to a mixer it was a completely new world for me and I can’t stop, I remember my mother said stop with this bull mess you would never be someone if you don’t study and continue with this stupid music, I literally followed my dream and now I’m here living the American Dream and making a living from what I love.

A. 100% the Hip-Hop culture and general; the freestyle, the lyrics with contents one of them was Public Enemy.
Q. Can you give any advice to upcoming DJ’s?
A. Follow the heart beats, work hard and evaluate how much you love the music, if you just do it for the money or fame this is not your career, in this game one day you have everything and the next you don’t know it’s a constant war and just the strongest survive.

Interview with DJ Nabs
By: Where It Begins
Q. How did you come up with the name DJ Nabs?
A. My best friend Alton Lucas back in Durham NC, where I am from had started calling me Nabs. I was like what is Nabs? They were skinny Briscoe Cookies in 6th grade. I hated it, but it stuck. I started Djing 4 years later in 10th grade I became DJ Nabs the Briscoe Disco.
Q. What made you want to become a DJ?
A. It was the early 80’s I never had any interest in rapping. I did try to break dance, but it did not work out and I became a DJ.
Q. How did you get in with being a DJ for So So Def?
A. With So So Def I started it with Jermaine with him making mixtapes and at that time. I was on Radio and V103. When Jermaine finally got a deal with So So Def this was after Kris Kross. For Kris Kross which I ended up Djing for in 1992 which was Jermaine group was not on So So Def they were on Rough House Records out of Philly. Then Jermaine got So So Def recording that we now know, and that first group was Xscape with 1 DJ for them before at that time. I ended up meeting Jermaine through my friends Arrested Development who had a hit that same year as Kris Kross called Tennessee. Hot 97.5 same thing. I known Jerry Smokin B who is a radio legend and he called me in 95 that we had a new rap station and wanted me to come on over. I was at V103 at the time. A year later they asked me again and I decided to go to Hot 97.5 in 1996 they were a year old at the time.
Q. What differentiate you from the rest of the DJ’s?
A. We all are different, it’s just tapping into your own personal superpower that’s how I describe it. I haven’t always felt like I wasn’t good enough but that’s what made me practice a lot. I know I am a really good DJ and that I am passionate about it and the more that I draw from my own individual vibe that’s how I create things like Old School Sundays at Clyde that people still talk about when I repost my videos. People repost it because they still feel it. Most of all I just try to be me.
Q. Can you give any advice to upcoming DJ’s?
A. Stay true to your craft whatever that may be and then if you are the type that can master more than one craft then do that. Master that craft, master the next one that’s how you become a prince to me. Prince was a genius, a writer, ranger, musician, performer. Djing is not one thing you can produce being on the radio is different being a music director on stage is different like production not just producing music but producing the show producing the event. I can produce at Las Vegas shows then produce Atl Crunk music fest, I can produce something on Tom Joyner family reunion. As a DJ we have the ability to master that craft.

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.

Interview with DJ Ms. Eclectic
By: Where it Begins
Q. What made you want to be a DJ?
A. I was born to a mother who is very musically inclined, so I’ve always had a strong love for music from Gospel to Hip-Hop to Soul. I’m also a rapper and have wharfed into Djing, I was making “mixtapes” in college for people and didn’t even realize it. Starting off with UGK and ending with the Clark Sisters. Pray for me! I have a passion for music in general. DJs are musicians and whether its two turntables and a mixer or a controller, its an instrument, you can manipulate songs with mixing and creativity.
Q. What differentiate you from the rest of the DJ?
A. I think fusing all of my God given talents and my ear of music. I would say I’m not just a DJ or even profess to be the best DJ but more of a music connoisseur. Being a rapper and also a radio personality, I try to fuse all of these together in a mix and my profession in general. Also, my ability to mix old school and new school, no matter the genre is something I love to do. Even when I’m playing urban contemporary gospel (My Main Genre), I’m going to incorporate some old school Hip-Hop like “Let Me Clear My Throat” to create the Eclectic Experience.
Q. Who is your favorite DJ of all time?
A. That’s a hard one to name but I’ll talk about who I grew up on like Jazzy Jeff and Kid Capri. They were so dope and still are to this day! They have longevity in this game. And then I have to give it up for the women and shout out Spinderella from the female Hip-Hop standpoint!
Q. Q. Can you give any advice to upcoming DJs?
A. Keep God first and find a mentor. I’ve been blessed to have a few. Shout out to Grandmaster DJ Mix and DJ Soul. They keep you grounded and on point. Also, learn the business side of the industry and know that there are so many outlets for Djing outside of parties and clubs. There is radio, award shows, concerts/tours, and too many to name. Seek the opportunities and rock them.

Interview with DJ Silver Knight
By: Where it Begins
Q. How did you come up with the name DJ Silver Knight?
A. In middle school all I wore was silver jewelry and a girl in my class started calling me Silver. I went with that as a rap name for me. Around high school a friend added Knight because I was really into medieval era stuff. So, when I started to DJ, I went with Silver Knight.
Q. What made you want to be a DJ?
A. I’ve always loved music and have been rapping and producing since I was a young kid. I fell into it by going to see a coworker spin and I fell in love with the atmosphere and energy of being a DJ.
Q. What differentiate you from the rest of the DJ?
A. My personality. There are thousands of DJS but I’m me and my music selection and blends.
Q. Who would you consider to be a DJ Legend?
A. There’s many of them but Jazzy Jeff comes to mind first. His timing, skills, and career history is unmatched.
Q. Who or what influenced you to be a DJ?
A. Mr. D, a reggae DJ was the first person I heard that made me want to be a DJ. The way he spun and controlled the crowd I was all in at that point. After that my mentor DJ Cowboy made me grow and build my skills.

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.
Q. Who is your favorite DJ of all time?
A. DJ Scratch & Jazzy Jeff can’t just pick one.
Q. Can you give any advice to upcoming DJs?
A. I can say, trust your process and keep going?
