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