::DJ Iceis’s Schedule::
-Coming Soon-
All times are PST
How long have you been djing and what inspired you to start?
I worked in music for about 6 years in RL, I’ve been “DJing” only in SL for about two years. My inspiration, I own a club, and as a business person, getting people to commit in SL can be difficult, so I had so great friends, who I bugged daily for about a week, got the info I needed and taught myself the basics, so that when my DJ’s didn’t show, party could still go on.
Who were your music influences growing up?
Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Byron Lee…Soca, Calypso and Reggae are my roots, but my family was very eclectique so i grew up with R&B, Soul, you name it. Music has always been a big part of my life.
What do you think makes a good DJ?
Their love for music, their knowledge, and their personality.
Who are your favorite artists?
Geez, I don’t think my keyboard could handle me typing out that list.
What’s your favorite guilty pleasure song?
Moonlight Sonata by Beethovan, bet your weren’t expecting that =-)
What was the oddest song request you have ever received?
Considering my varied taste in music, I don’t find anything too odd.
Out of all the songs you have, which one “never fails”?
Depends on the crowd I’m playing for, I play some pretty varied sets, but oldies are always goodies.
Do you feel being a female DJ puts you at a disadvantage? Do you think its harder for female DJs?
No I don’t think its a disadvantage. in SL, being a female DJ, if your good and people like hearing you, you don’t have to look for work, it pretty much comes to you, atleast thats what I have found.
What advice would you give to up and coming DJs?
Pay attention to crowd and vibe off them. Your personality is just as important as the songs you play and how you play them.
When all the partying is over how do you like to just chill?
Sit back in a quiet spot, with friends or family and just relax, listen to some easy music.
What can we expect from you in 2010?
lol jus going to have to wait and see.
