Interview with DJ Ms. Eclectic

By: Where it Begins

 

Q. What made you want to be a DJ?

A. I was born to a mother who is very musically inclined, so I’ve always had a strong love for music from Gospel to Hip-Hop to Soul. I’m also a rapper and have wharfed into Djing, I was making “mixtapes” in college for people and didn’t even realize it. Starting off with UGK and ending with the Clark Sisters. Pray for me! I have a passion for music in general. DJs are musicians and whether its two turntables and a mixer or a controller, its an instrument, you can manipulate songs with mixing and creativity.

Q. What differentiate you from the rest of the DJ?

A. I think fusing all of my God given talents and my ear of music. I would say I’m not just a DJ or even profess to be the best DJ but more of a music connoisseur. Being a rapper and also a radio personality, I try to fuse all of these together in a mix and my profession in general. Also, my ability to mix old school and new school, no matter the genre is something I love to do. Even when I’m playing urban contemporary gospel (My Main Genre), I’m going to incorporate some old school Hip-Hop like “Let Me Clear My Throat” to create the Eclectic Experience.

Q. Who is your favorite DJ of all time?

A. That’s a hard one to name but I’ll talk about who I grew up on like Jazzy Jeff and Kid Capri. They were so dope and still are to this day! They have longevity in this game. And then I have to give it up for the women and shout out Spinderella from the female Hip-Hop standpoint!

Q. Q. Can you give any advice to upcoming DJs?

A. Keep God first and find a mentor. I’ve been blessed to have a few. Shout out to Grandmaster DJ Mix and DJ Soul. They keep you grounded and on point. Also, learn the business side of the industry and know that there are so many outlets for Djing outside of parties and clubs. There is radio, award shows, concerts/tours, and too many to name. Seek the opportunities and rock them.
