Where have you performed?
Nation, FUR, The Edge, The DC Tunnel, Japone, Club Heaven, Home, Singapore Bistro (all in DC), Bridges (VA), Club Liqud (PA)... that's all I can remember off the top of my head.
Where would you like to perform?
Ameka in Miami, the sound is killah and the club is fucking sweet.
When and how did you first become interested in dance music?
I guess it was when I was, like, 13 when I first got my ear to house music. My friends in NY would give me tapes of DJs that they were friends with, I loved it, from there I was all about dance music.
Where was your first gig?
The Edge night club was my first real club gig, before that I had played a lot of crappy bars and parties and shit like that but The Edge was what I considered my first real gig.
How did you join StoneFinger?
It was funny, I met Campbell through Camille (Dee Jay Clutch). Campbell had invited Camille and I to plat at Atlantis and Campbell was impressed enough to ask me back, and I loved playing there so Campbell approached me one night and asked me if I would like to be StoneFingered.
Apart from house and trance, what other types of music do you listen to?
I have a wide range of music, I dont really listen to a lot of trance, it's always been house for me but I dont limit myself to just one genre I think you kinda cheat yourself when you do that. I listen to 80s, metal, rock, hiphop (Mos Def, Common, the more underground stuff), breakbeat, chillout, drum n bass, garage, country (sike), I keep my mind open to everything.
Who would you most want to play you in your biopic?
Johnny Depp, 'cause all the girls think he's hot and he's a good actor. |
