What goes on in Vegas doesn’t necessarily stay in Vegas. Just ask DJ Fly Kid.

A recent adventure to the 702 area code has the DJ formerly known as DJ Saput Mo on a higher plain of focus.

“It’s the party vibe, the excitement and craziness that’s what got me dreaming big,” said the Kurious Productions resident DJ.

Once relegated to spinning at Kurious Productions parties, his attention to detail and ability to party rock with a purpose has helped expand Fly Kid’s DJ resume which now includes Brew Moon and Mai Tai Bar.

Always taking notes when he’s out on the town but never one to criticize, he’s the quintessential student of the game.

“I’m like a sponge, always absorbing as much information as I can. It helps a lot especially when you are learning and an up-and-coming DJ,” he said.

Praised by his peers for his on-point song selection and mixing abilities, he never lets the compliments mess with his head.

“All I can do is just strive, work hard and keep proving to the right people that I can do the same thing. That’s what keeps me hungry.”

With a mixtape made exclusive for Japan just released and one for Hawai’i on the way, it appears the sky is the limit for this kid.
