Interview with DJ Hollywood
By: Where It Begins
Q. What made you want to be a DJ?
A. My dad always played music and had a home entertainment system, and I was very popular in high school and I began doing parties with the entertainment system just for fun in apartments for high school kids. One day, a guy said to me he would pay me $50 to have an apartment party and then I realized I could start making money doing this.
Q. What is one of your special moments you’ve had being a DJ?
A. I was called to DJ at a major 21 and up club, and I was 18 and very excited. I wasn’t able to DJ because unfortunately I got arrested that night. That night taught me to slow down and focus on what you’re doing. It’s not about play. It’s about business.
Q. What differentiate you from the rest of the DJ?
A. I don’t entertain by just playing music. The music brings the party to life, and it brings me to life. So, as they say “The life of the party”, I am the life of the party. I interact with the crowd. I make myself one with the crowd. I communicate with the crowd. I make myself one with the crowd so I can understand the environment and what kind of music to play.
Q. Who would you consider to be a DJ Legend?
A. That’s a good question. I would say DJ Big Chris. He was very famous for Djing at the UBar. He left an imprint not just in Djing but the state of GA.
Q. Who or What Influenced you to be a DJ?
A. My Father.
Q. Can you give any advice to upcoming DJs?
A. Make yourself known. Don’t be quiet. Be vocal and that doesn’t mean just by speaking. Be vocal in your appearance, your outfits, your hair. Definitely be confident and gather a following. Know your market and let your market expand for you.
