Aside from Djing, what are your other interests?

There were quit few thing that I got interested with. Like skating. It was one of my interest. Being a skater was one of the stuff that I was curious about and wanted to try. I also tried Longboarding and BMX once but it didn’t make me feel doing or rather playing with it for too long. I don’t play any kind of sports (I suck on doing activities which requires the whole body to move). On a non-busy day or if ever my brothers have time to spare, we usually go biking whether it is on the road or off-road.
I’m also a huge gamer, whether it’s on PC, Consoles, Handheld or Mobile. Most of the time I play on PC since I don’t own any kind of console or handheld gaming devices and I have a non-gaming phone (#poorstudent). I mainly play Single-Player adventure Story Driven Role Playing Games like The Elder Scrolls Franchise, Assassin’s Creed Series, Fallout Franchise and many more. Occasionally I play online games like Dota2 and many others. Photography and Videography is an interest of mine as well (I won a school Project once on the latter). With these interests, I edit Photos and Videos.

What’s the best part of your craft?

I’m fairly new to DJing (I started around the month of June. The best part about it is the overall experience – when I’m playing a live set and then the crowd would suddenly start to sing along to the song I’m playing, the part where everyone dances to the beats I’m mixing, and the free drinks I get to indulge once in a while that guests hand me.

What/Who made you want to become a DJ?

The thing that actually made me want to become a DJ was my curiosity. I was curious as to what DJs actually do, and I was really curious as to how they produce or mix the sounds or music in a bar or club. The music, the art, the style, and especially the crowd made me stay in becoming a DJ. It’s what inspired me more into doing this, and I’m planning to stay in the scene longer.
No one inspired me to become a DJ but I am still grateful for the people that taught me the art and craft. I really want to thank my friends Paul Garcia and Hiro Akai for the slight and brief introduction to all of this. A huge thank you to a lot of “Teachers/Mentors” like DJ Chep of Gspot, RomeVanDay, Cynold Brett and Rheyne Valentine. I would also like to give my special thanks to Sir Bryan To for letting me play at his bar, G-Spot Gaming and Bar, because of that, I was able to practice my craft and learn more about DJing.

How about relationship status, are you currently single or in a relationship?

Single and ready to mingle. Honestly speaking though, I’m still single and I don’t think I can find someone new as of the moment. I have a bad habit of insulting people when in reality I’m just making jokes. And speaking of jokes, I have a really dark sense of humor and I don’t think women find that attractive.(who knows, maybe I can find someone who has a darker sense of humor than I do). All in all, I really don’t mind being single, even though it’s already been years since my first and last relationship. I’m a greedy person and I don’t usually share, so I think it’s both a good and bad thing that I’m alone.

Where can people see you/where are your usual gigs?

You can usually find me at G-spot Gaming and Bar. It’s my go to place to relax, unwind, or even play a set if they let me. I’m mostly there every day since there’s free wifi. I’m either on a laptop/mobile phone with headphones on, downloading music or just mainly surfing the net (or just keeping on swiping right on tinder) or behind the DJ’s booth playing a live set or just straight up annoying the resident DJs.
You might also find me at a coffee shop or a fast food joint drinking coffee and just straight up relaxing by myself. Yes, I’m usually by myself since I currently don’t have friends to hangout with (Please date me or at least be my friend. Hahaha). I don’t usually go to malls unless I really have to or need to buy something. And yes, I’m alone. Also, I’ll be in a coffee shop that has an outside table and chair you can chill.
