08 AT WHAT AGE DID YOU DISCOVER THE ART OF DJING, AND WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO TAKE YOUR FIRST STEPS INTO IT? Funnily enough, I was fairly late to the game! But, if I take it way back, I remember when my sister got her first iPod classic (at that point I was sitting by the wall, with my mini-disk plugged in ripping Sum 41 records onto it) - she used to let me borrow it and listen to her collection, which was extremely broad. I was lucky enough to have a sibling that was into music too, but who also shared artists that I hadn’t heard of before. A lot of this was either Punk or 80s Disco. If I jump forward to around the age of 16, going to house parties I was kinda considered ‘that guy in charge of the Aux cable’! I didn’t really know much about DJing at all - all that I knew was that I loved music and being in control of making people dance and be happy. I was around 17 years old when I purchased a little Mixtrack Pro. It was just a midi controller that I hooked up with Traktor and used to play at house parties for friends. When I was mixing one track into another I knew DJing was for me. I didn’t know people got paid for it though! I was so naive to all of that - I just knew it was a lot of fun.
