“Caspar Babypants is one of the few children’s recording artists that I can listen to without wanting to stab myself in the eyes.” – Weird Al Yankovic
I am sure all the moms, dads, aunts and uncles can appreciate Weird Al’s endorsement. After all, you want your children to listen to music and, yes, the normal Barney/Thomas/Wiggles tunes do teach your child important life lessons. But it can get old…quick.

You know you have seen it. Late night, flipping through channels…maybe a temper tantrum by a young debutante kept you watching…maybe you just want to see what life is like for 16-year-olds who are lucky enough to have a blow-out for their birthday that you are never likely to have for any reason.
We are talking about the MTV Series "My Super Sweet 16."
Turns out that Spinderella’s daughter Christy was turning 16 and MTV was all over it. Since Spinderella is one of…

What made you become a DJ?
After years of bringing in DJs to scratch on various hip-hop projects, producing and dealing with scheduling conflicts, I purchased my first turntable. Then, before I knew it, I got a second one and started playing out (after checking other DJ’s in the scene and feeling that my musical tastes and skills were up to par), so it kinda’ happened by default. I was immediately hired to do live sound design for a famous photographer (David la Chapelle),…
DJ Irie
(Miami DJ Extraordinaire)
What made you become a DJ?
It was pretty much a natural progression for me since I was record collector at an early age. I ended up with an incredible collection of the best music on the planet right in time for me to take advantage of an opportunity, by chance, to play a party and things just kind of snowballed from there.

Arabian Prince
What made you become a DJ?
I was young, broke, lived in the hood and moms didn’t want me hangin’ out all night since I am an only child, so I figured I would do the DJ thing because I would be the first to get to the party, the last to leave and have cash to boot.

I would have to say playing in an underground bunker with no ventilation and a few thousand people in Vienna,…
DJ VICIOUS LEE
(LA / West Coast Hip Hop Legend)
What made you become a DJ?

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