Where does your influence in music come from?
Here in hawaii, top 40/ Hip Hop & rnb mainstream is dominating the music scene. I like to see how it is in the mainland. From listening to other radio stations streaming world wide to You Tube, you can catch me on them all the time. I don't limit or label myself to certain types of music. From Hip Hop to rock to pop and so on, I look for what sounds good in each genre. Music is a very powerful thing and if you allow yourself to be more open to listen and feel the style of that artist, you might find yourself digging other things like Katie Perry besides the usual Lil' Wayne.
Where does your influence in deejaying come from?
Watching other DJ's especially in the mainland. Seeing guys like DJ AM and DJ Vice play, it's amazing what they can do and the energy they bring. Just by playing a certain track at the right time, it gets the people crazy! They would play some tracks that I would have never thought would be rocking the club and make people actually dig it! That's what opened my eyes.
"Groove music" seems to be a lost genre in the clubs and in the music scene in general nowadays would you agree or disagree?
I agree with you on that. It's kind of sad honestly. It's music that comes from the soul. The lyrics, guitar riffs, keyboards, horns, vocals. It's just something about these songs that just gets to you and make you feel good. You know what I mean, when you hear that one track and you just wanna close your eyes and move your head. You make that sour face and your all like "Damn!" Good stuff. I know it's not a strong category in the club scene, but you can still make it work by playing a few here and there.
