How have your parents helped you
and felt with everything?
My parents do everything. I have been saying
since I was little that I wanted to be a DJ and make
my own music but after I played my first gig when I
was 8yrs old I said that this is what I really wanted
to start doing. So we talked about social media and me
being on there but my Dad and Stepmum manage it all. I
wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for them. My Dad
supports me with my music stuff and my Stepmum
organises all of my bookings and drives me everywhere
and does all of my social media. They are massive music
fans so they love what I do and fully support me in my
dreams.
What do you think the most
important aspect of a DJ is? And
why?
The main thing for me is it doesn’t matter how
good of a DJ you are its more important to be a good kind
person. Nobody wants to work with somebody who is a
horrible person.
Another thing I think , as well as being able to
beat match properly it is important to have good crowd
interaction, and crowd control. I hate watching boring DJ’s
behind the desk its all about having fun. And I had a gig
recently and my first couple of tracks lost the crowd a little
bit so I changed my set to get everyone back and it
worked.
What style of DJ’ing do you prefer;
up and down all night, working and
controlling the crowd, or start slow
and build and build, or just go for It all
night? And Why?
It totally depends on the night, I play lots of
different ways apart from up and down all night I don’t like
that I think it looses the crowd but if I had to choose I
think build up is my preferred style because I like taking
people on a journey.
Any last words?
Thank you for interviewing me.
Well, thank you Jay for the time, and some last
words from Zone; Have fun, stay humble, work hard,
and always help others in need. Don’t listen to the
negative and toxic, and stay away from Social media,
get someone else deal with that one! It’s important
for promotion, but stay with that. Good look in the
future, and take care of yourself. And don’t forget
what the scene is all about!
