Your Boy Brian: Interview
\\
The first words that comes to your mind when you hear Inspiration, Passion, and Strength |
Youtube Make-A-Wish Videos |
Who are you? (Answer how you interpret this question) |
An old creep |
Why do you do what you do? |
I suck at sports |
When did you know this is what you wanted to do, and what events led you to choose it? |
I dropped out of art school, was working in bars, didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life. Some friends told me I should try DJing because I was the only person in Toronto with good taste in music and it turned out they were right. Didn’t know it would end up being my career, but it was a ton of fun so I just kept doing it |
Toughest thing you had to overcome to do what you do? And what/who helped you? |
Not knowing how to DJ. But you don’t really need to know how to DJ to be a good DJ |
Has anyone/anything ever inspired you to become who you are (to follow your dreams)? Have you ever inspired anyone directly? |
DJ AM was super inspiring because I didn’t know that open-format was a viable style before him and also he was the most humble dude ever. Hating every job I’ve ever had inspired me to try Djing for a living. I’ve probably inspired a few people because people look at me and think ‘if this scrub can do it than so can i’ |
One mistake that you made in your journey? How have you learnt from them? |
I guess posting stupid shit to social media is a mistake in the eyes of career-minded folks? Almost every time I post to twitter or instagram I lose a few followers. It’s made me realize that a lot of people find me irritating, and most of those people hire professional photographers to take pictures of them eating brunch
|
Upcoming projects? Plans/goal? (about anything, if you have any) |
My secret goal is to write a book someday. But I don’t really have anything to say so there’s that
|
What advice would you give to other people? (Just about life in general - It could be about anything) |
Listen to Billy Joel
|
Say anything you want, about anything (Last words) |
I loved owls before Drake made them cool |
