I’m gonna play music which will aroused women. Energetic music, which will get the crowd, hyped up. I might stage dive, shoot laser beam, take my shirt off, I might even take my socks off. Not sure yet. I’ll figure it out.

 

You will be on deck with other popular international DJs that night. Any special collaboration with each other?

I’ve never met the other DJs yet but I’m definitely looking forward to meeting them. Von Kiss hit me on facebook.

How do you juggle between the productions of your solo album with the other artists’?

Being a workaholic. I get very little sleep but I get the excitement in life. Everyday I do something new and I wanna do them better than what I did yesterday. I am working on my own album right now. My first debut single will be dropping soon. My other single ‘Watch You’ collaborated with Pitbull, Benny Benassi and The Disco Fries will be dropping in a couple of weeks.

 

Any wise words for young people out there who desire to have a career like yours?

Be the first you and not the second for nobody else.

 

When you were spinning for celebrities, is there any celebrity tales you could share with us? Anything crazy? Incriminating but funny?

Go to my website and my new EPK is there. Go to my story, and there is a new 6 minute video I just posted up. It shows how I pranked Eminem and it also showed me sleeping in Rick Ross’ bed. He got so mad and almost threw me out. But I always joke around my friends.

 

Have you ventured into fashion like designing clothes, shoes, and accessories?

Maybe in future.

 

How did you come about becoming a DJ? How did you start? Spinning for celebrities or?

I started spinning in different shows and slowly I started spinning all around the world.

 

Tonight’s event is a Brazilian themed night. Are you going to play any songs related to the Brazilian culture?

I don’t know but if I see some Brazilian women out there shaking then I probably will. Brazilian men, nahh I don’t think so.

 

Any good memories from previous parties?

You know its good memories every single day. Life is exciting; getting invited to parties every time, so every single day is a great memory for me. Sometimes you have awesome parties, sometimes u have not so awesome parties. I get paid to listen to music everyday and share it with people. How can u have a better job than that?
