I had the opportunity to check out my guy starkks and the new studio. He interviewed me for his new podcast the cancelled show. It was great to take break from all the practice I've been doing in preparation for the final regional DMC battle in Pittsburgh and just chop it about music. Friday the 19th I'll be going to Pittsburg to represent Cleveland in the world's largest, longest running most reputable DJ competition. I can't wait!

 The Judges

DJ Ceven - Follow on IG @Ceven216 When I asked what he was looking for in the competitors routine he said originality, crowd interaction/stage presence and technical ability. I've known Cev for awhile and he's a legit DJ who's been doing it for a long time. Check the vids on his IG the skills speak for themselves so I won't run down the resume.
