- Soulful House DJ - I just play the music that makes me move and others seem to like it as well. Fell in love with house music in my 40's and became a dj as a result. Love all genres of house, especially gospel house music.
Here's the story for those who are not familiar with it, lol..Oh, No....lol...I thought it just might inspire someone out there to go ahead and follow their dream and if it inspires just one person than my job is done....
So here's my story (the shortened version)... the long one is on Myspace:)
One evening, I went to a club after many, many years of being a stay-at-homer, and heard housemusic being played. It was classic house music but I used to dance to this when it first came out and didn’t know they had given it a name.
Thought it was TOO fast at first but after going back a few more times, I began to look forward to it and eventually was able to dance through more than one song after I gave in to the fact that I was going to sweat. Looking cute and dancing to house don’t mix.
Wasted money buying house cds - found a few that had nice mixes but the rest were very disappointing. Discovered Erick Morillo and Bad Boy Bill mixes. They have good mixes you never get tired of hearing.
Went shopping with my sis for cds and walked into this store that was selling record players. Didn’t know they still made them. Haven’t seen one of those since the Jackson 5 were together.
We went downstairs to the cd section and they had VINYL records - and a huge selection of HOUSE on Vinyl:))). I walked out of there with the record player and some records -with no idea of how I was going to hook this stuff up.
Finally, had someone else hook it up to the stereo system and I made tapes - recording one record at a time. Slow process but I was happy.....
After a while, I wanted to make cds - so I bought a cd recorder and hooked it up to the record player. I was happy....... but I wanted to make mixed cds so I can enjoy it nonstop.
Shortly after, bought a "DJ-in-a-Box"----- Eventually, I learned to mix (lots of tears and frustration). I must give a special thanks, to my son, the young men in the records shops, and friends who were patient and answered my questions with a straight face, showed me how to find the beat, gave me lots of demonstrations and assured me that I wouldn’t electrocute myself if I removed the headshell without turning EVERYTHING off......... I was clueless - but I was going to mix enough to make my cds......
In a year’s time, I was ready for the Technics and speakers and so on. I’ve been playing in my livingroom for the last 5 years, collecting house music (mostly, the classics), exploring deep house (discovered Kenny Bobien, BeBe Winans, CeCe Rogers, Big Moses, Kerri Chandler and Chance (she sounds like Aretha Franklin - no lie), gospel house, disco house, hard house, latin house, some freestyle and trance and then branching out and trying r&b, hiphop, etc.
Just recently started playing in public and I am enjoying the experience. I’ve always been very shy so this was a BIG accomplishment.
The first night, I was so nervous that I played everything off beat and dripped sweat until I couldn’t see. I would have disappeared if it was possible :))) But I came back (with a towel) and pretended I was in my home, with my disco light going, and playing for myself. It worked (after a few more times)..
I started doing this at the age of 42 which proves that you are never too old to try anything (except maybe breakdancing....)
When I first started my DJ Journey, there were lots of smirks, laughs and comments about "mid-life" crisis ...... even now..... but if you want something or feel something bad enough you will find a way to do it in spite of the naysayers and sometimes you just have to be your own cheerleader.
