The
track/DJ/party that made me want to be a DJ was:
Started as a hobby for the love of music
in general. Then had the urge to play in front of a crowd.
Influences:
The original Disco Clubs of Montreal plus an eclectic
mix of Jazz to Rock to Hip Hop and World Music. I tend to absorb a little
of everything as the pot of music is gargantuan.
I
got my first break:
First gig was for a Christmas party, which led
to several Wedding gigs. Then got my first gig at Club Oasis in San
Jose.
Some
DJs I like playing with are:
Jay-J, Miguel Migs, Franky Boissy
Favorite
thing about the SF scene:
San Francisco (and the Bay Area) arguably, has
one of the strongest dance scenes period. I think the people love to
go out and groove. They love the music. They love their DJ’s.
And they continue to support the scene. They are open-minded which helps
the DJ’s do their thing.
Least
favorite thing about the SF scene:
No comment.
My
favorite SF party is/was:
Well, right about now, my favorite party is called
Foundation. It's a new party with Jay-J, Miguel Migs and myself. We
happen to throw it. It happens every first Saturday of the month. The
first one just took place and it was great! Great support from the crowd!
My
favorite Club to play in is:
Any
club with an enthusiastic crowd.
If
I could put together MY dream music festival, the Entertainment would
be:
On one stage I'd have my favorite singer - SADE.
On another, I'd make it a 70's rock stage with Pink Floyd playing the
entire Dark Side of the Moon album. I would have a Jazz stage featuring
legends like Roy Ayers, Donald Byrd, Herbie Hancock, George Benson and
I'd have to have Pat Metheny close it out. Have to have an R&B/Funk
stage with Stevie Wonder playing all night!! Maybe have Chaka Khan join
him too. Oh, and have Prince perform only from his 70's and early 80's
repertoire. Of course my last stage would be the Disco stage. The Queen
of Disco, Donna Summer doing her thang and having the amazing Salsoul
and Philly International artists just groovin' 'till the end. Gotta
love it!...
If I couldn't play records I would probably be a professional:
All I know is music. Without it
I’d be in trouble...
I want to thank these people for helping me get this
far:
Many indeed but regarding my DJing,
Fil Maresca for giving me my first club gig.
What
you want people to know and we didn't ask:
My
favorite hockey team is - The Montreal Canadians!
My motto is:
"Bigger isn't always better...quality
over quantity!" |
