Muzique Magazine – When did you discover your love for your craft and what made you realize you wanted to pursue a career in it?

I remember sitting by the radio every day just waiting until my favorite songs came on so I could record them. At the age of 12, I began creating custom mixtapes for my classmates, using a CD burner and old hip-hop albums I would borrow from my uncle.

By the time I reached high school, I had made a name for myself selling my mixtape CDs around my neighborhood, local stores, and barbershops. That’s when I realized that I wanted to pursue a career in not only DJing but doing radio as well.

Muzique Magazine – To what or whom do you accredit your sense of style?

Wow. That’s a great question! I was born in Providence, RI to Haitian parents, so I definitely accredit my style to my Caribbean background. I grew up listening to a lot of legends from my hometown in Providence, RI to my second home in New York City, to my current home in Orlando, FL.

So, I would also have to accredit my sense of style to legends like DJ Buck, DJ Big Stress, DJ Half Pint, Fred Da Great, DJ Finesse, DJ Rukiz, DJ CR, DJ Squeak, Funkmaster Flex, Kid Kapri, DJ Red Alert, Tony Touch, DJ Camilo, DJ Clue, DJ Envy, DJ Superstar Jay, DJ Whoo Kid, DJ D-Strong, DJ Stakz, DJ Juice, DJ D-Nice, DJ Prostyle, DJ Nasty, DJ Khaled and the list goes on…

Muzique Magazine – What are some of your greatest challenges, and what is your greatest attribute when it comes to your work ethic?

At the moment, the COVID-19 pandemic has been by far one of my greatest challenges as it has kind of forced us, DJs, into a challenging space. With all the clubs and venues shutting down, it slowed down the money we use to pay our bills.

As a result, a lot of us DJs are using Instagram Live, Facebook Live, Youtube Live, Twitch, and recently Mixcloud Live to stream our sets. My greatest attribute when it comes to my work ethic would definitely be that I’m definitely a hustler and I’m different! I’m still learning the game and it inspires me to be better!
