DJ: Dust'n Dreamz Off Entertainment
Queens, NY
I grew up in Queens, New York. As a teenager I was also interested in
becoming a DJ. I can remember going to my cousin's house to play on his
turntables. We use to always go to the city to buy records because there wasn't
any mp3 files back in the days. I can also remember going to the park where the
local DJ (DJ Spade who is now a successful music producer in Virginia) would
show his skills. His skills and talents fascinated me and hopes to one day
become a DJ.
I joined the Army and my first overseas assignment I got a DJ gig at a
local club where I display my talent. I played there for over 3 years. When I
returned from overseas I starting doing office parties, Sweet Sixteen parties,
weddings and playing a local nightclubs.
I also attended the world’s famous Scratch DJ Academy in NYC where I
had to pleasure of being mentored by TJ (Jam Master Jay’s son) and other great
DJs. I’ve had several Internet shows, most recently with DTF Radio voted as
2012 and 2013 “Best Internet Radio Station” located in Brooklyn, NY. Internet
radio shows is definitely different because you are not playing in front of a live
crowd, which becomes challenging at times. I currently have an Internet Radio
Show on Hotline Radio where I broadcast 4 times a week and I also manage a
young independent Hip Hop artist name K Ben Rose.
There are so many DJs out there but a few that inspired me. I look up to
DJs like Grandmaster Flash, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Jam Master Jay, DJ Qbert, Kid Capri
and DJ Scratch. Its not all about making money but its about making the crowd
happy and see them having a good time.
