Im a DJ (Club/lounge/radio)
A Promoter
A Producer
Ive also been known to attempt as an MC, only when Im fucked and someone needs to say "Rewind and Come again my Selectaaaaaaaah" there is a time and a place for it.
Why?
Ive allways been interested in Communication, Socially, personally, Perception and emotion.
I allways had a bag of new CD's at all the Highschool parties and hogged the stereo to play the newest freshest tunes, I just couldnt deal with the same shit song's 24-7.
Electronic music really captured me as a Raver at some of Hamiltons first rave's in the early 90's, as well as hip hop influences from Beastie boys etc.
Then one day i went to a night club in hamilton and saw a shit DJ, who looked like a male Model drinking Champagne, and that was it!....
It was bullshit, I did better mixes at home with my sony on two tapes and a CD player.
THis guy was playing for attention, status, women and the cash.
No one was feeling the music, he wasnt playing to the crowd, He couldnt even read the crowd, who were walking out the door.
I like to party, and you need good vibes for a good nite.
Sorry but there was no short answer to 'why' for me, and this is the short version.....
