\"Feature<\/a><\/p>\n

We were able to catch up with one of our resident VJ’s and ask him a few questions. He makes some of our most downloaded mixes. He has been VJ’ing from the start. He is a self professed videoholic, he is DVDj Dread!<\/p>\n

Where are you from and where do you work?<\/strong>
\nNew York. I have worked in New York City and all other parts of New York, South Carolina and Florida.<\/p>\n

How long have you been DJing?<\/strong>
\nFunny you ask, I just recently celebrated 10 years in the business.<\/p>\n

Congrats!\u00a0When did you decide to become a VJ?<\/strong>
\nIn 2007 I saw DJ 2ndnature doing it at a convention and I knew I wanted to do it.<\/p>\n

So you started at the beginning?<\/strong>
\nYes,\u00a0 in fact I just found this picture of my first set up, and yes I used all four.<\/p>\n

\"Dread<\/a><\/p>\n

What piece of equipment can you not live without?<\/strong>
\nMy Rane ttm557, I know there are bigger and better things out there that I can get, but If it works why fix it? I had an opportunity to meet DJ Jazzy Jeff who is one of my favourites and he used an older set up saying that this worked for him, why mess with it. If it makes sense to Jazzy Jeff it makes sense to me, besides having an ear for the music goes a long way.

Do you have advice for aspiring VJs?<\/strong>
\nThe eyes don\u2019t lie, you have to make sure that your video is as good as your mix. Think of it like putting a new stereo in your car. When you are driving down the block people will hear your music playing and then see the car, if the car isn\u2019t on point than nobody will care about the system.<\/p>\n

So what do you do in your free time?<\/strong>
\nI am a movie buff, I have time off I’m watching movies with my wife. I’ll watch just about anything I love the experience.<\/p>\n

LeBron or Durant?<\/strong>
\nOhhh man, I want to say Durant but I gotta go with LeBron that\u2019s my homie. LeBron came into the league as kid like Kobe and KG and just owned it.<\/p>\n
