What made you become a DJ?

My dad blasted music in our 7th floor apartment in Brooklyn since I was a shorty… that’s how I came to appreciate it. Oh, and it didn’t matter the hour, all I remember was music loudly embedded in my head while I slept. So of course my high-school boyfriend was also a DJ. He DJ'd locally and I helped him carry his records. When we weren't makin’ out, he'd teach me how to DJ (lol).

What was your most exciting DJ gig to date, and why?

It’s hard to say which gig would be most exciting because they're all
mostly fun. Though, most recently, I’d have to say the Flavor Flav Roast
for Comedy Central was by far the most fun.

Who do you currently produce?

An artist by the name of Medina from Jersey is my latest
project. His beats are crazy… [they’re] harmonious and gritty at the same time,
delivering lyrics that are infectious and intelligent. He's
spotlighted on my website, www.thebackspin.com.

What projects / albums do you have coming out in 08?

Thankfully, I’ve got so much goin' on these days. Me and my DJ MoDave have a syndicated radio show called “The Backspin,” which takes a lot of time producing show ideas and artist interviews. We’re currently on in a few major markets, including Boston’s Jammin 94.5 and Portland's Jammin 95. I won’t rest until everybody can hear it. As a matter of fact, you can check it out online right now at www.thebackspin.com

How do you like the Mackie d.2 pro mixer?

The d.2 pro is craaazy. It’s real smoove, with a lot of DJ-friendly amenities. Mackie has definitely outdone themselves with this one.

What is your favorite feature on the d.2 pro mixer?

Well, my mini production setup is a Mac with Protools, my Mackie d.2 pro and
my 1200's. So the built-in Firewire [computer connection] capability is one of the many advantages of the d.2 pro and brand-new d.4 pro that I appreciate. Honestly, this technology and the sound of these mixers can make the difference between being ‘regular’ and a ‘professional’ DJ / producer. That’s exactly why Mackie's d.pro line is my only choice.
