1: What is your greatest achievement as a deejay?
I would say being able to travel the world just playing the music that I love, and seeing the people who love that music go crazy when you play! Plus watching women flash you when you play, that's a pretty cool achievement too haha
2: How did you come up with your deejayname?
I was just sitting around in my garage one day, right after I bought my first set of turntables. I thought to myself, what would be a cool DJ name? Then it came to me, and it's stuck ever since.
3: Do you have a special message to all people who read this?
