 DR: Tell us a lil bout yourself. Like how did u get into the whole DJ-ing deal? What made you start DJ-ing?
JG: I started going out to nightclubs in New Orleans when I was about 16 years old. I guess after a somewhat sheltered childhood the dance scene just made me feel so free and alive. Before I knew it, I was buying all the music I heard in the clubs--this was before the days of downloading. I convinced a DJ friend to teach me the ropes. Before long, I had given a club near my home a mixed tape that I had made. They liked what they heard and hired me. This was back in 1996.
What kind of music do you like? and what's your fave songs at the moment?
I love vocals and tribal music. Some of my favorites right now are "Take Me Higher" by Debby Holiday, and the new mix of "missing" by Everything but the girl
What can party goers look out for at Songkran 5?
This will be my third time DJing for Song Kran and I am sooo excited!! Now that I am producing I have a lot of exclusive remixes and edits that you won't hear or be able to download anywhere else!!! I work very hard to try & make my set sound special and unique.
Any embarrassing/exciting spinning experiences?
I recently DJ'd a party for White Party in Miami on the Beach for over 2000 people. It was such an amazing experience seeing everyone dancing under the stars to my music. Nights like that always stay with me!
What can fans look out for in there near future from you?
I've been working in the studio a lot recently on my own remixes, as well as producing my own tracks.. I have new remixes coming out by Debby Holiday, DJ Ranny, Abigail, Charo, and more... I'm having so much fun remixing right now. |
