If you could take a moment and just tell me about yourselves
How did you get into Djing? How long have you been in the business? What is your favorite memory while in the business (first mix, funny wedding)? Any crazy stories?
Anything else you're willing to share would be cool XD

DJ CITY...
CityLife Productions...
A lil bout me...
Born -N- Raised in N.Y.C. Grew up in The Bronx, Edenwald Projects. Been doin this music thing since I can remember. I started as a rapper who could dj and grew to be a dj who can ROCK out a party. Did a little radio in N.Y.C. Did a little Radio here on Virtual DJ Radio. Did park Jamz (for all you old heads who remember the Jams out in the parks) did a few clubs in N.Y.C (The Tunnel, The Funhouse, Latin Quarters, Red Parrot, etc etc etc) Moved to the D.C. Metro area and have been "ROCKIN" parties, clubs, cabarets, & Go-Go's ever since.
I'm a PARTY DJ!!! Spinnin Hip Hop, R&B, Reggae, Go-Go, House, Old Skool Funk, Old Skool Hip Hop, Hand dance, Line Dance, Smooth Jazz, Oldies but Goodies (The music your Moms & Grannies Grooved to). My sweet spot is in my roots though...Str8 Hip Hop, R&B & Reggae.
Boogie Down Bronx raised me and Music is my lifeline. Hip Hop till I die, I was there when it all started. Like da Lost Boyz,
Music Makes Me Hiiigh...

Taken directly from my website www.djoddity.com. Enjoy...
ODDITY is an odd fellow, hence the name. Really you should have been able to figure that out for yourself without the aid of this multi-million dollar web presence. In any case, the story of dj ODDITY is long and boring, so we’ll just make up something here…
Born in the Arctic in the late 1970′s ODDITY grew up cold. As the son of a poor ice cube farmer (the ice business had steadily declined since the invention of the electric freezer) ODDITY’s family could never even afford a coat for the boy. The numerous cases of severe frost bite created an unusual effect in ODDITY. While terrified of the cold, he was also physically unable to feel anything but the most extreme of temperatures. It also led to an unusual affection for ice, and on numerous occasions he has threatened the lives of his friends for not watching ice he left in their possession.
Forced government relocation brought ODDITY to the Ottawa region just in time for high school, where he was accepted by all as a great and noble loser. Party invitations were few. Dates were fewer. ODDITY’s closest friend was a yellow frisbee with a happy face drawn on it. He spent long hours listening to the radio, and wondering why nobody invited him to parties. It was at that moment it hit him. The roof that is, as an out of control bus had just slammed into the side of his house. Over the next few weeks a very large insurance scam gave him the edge he needed; equipment, and a huge collection of music. And with that it was into the music business!
ODDITY spent the first few months playing for friends in a private basement club called ‘Chez Mom’s House’. Once his skills were perfected he headed out into the real world. Working first as a mobile dj for high school dances and pubs, ODDITY quickly learned the musical tastes of today’s youth, and was quickly invited to parties and suddenly thrust into the spotlight. He was the life of the party.
Before long club work began. First ODDITY started playing a night here and there as a replacement, this soon led to a regular shift at Hoodoo McFiggin’s in Ottawa’s east end. Recognition from this location soon landed him shifts in a range of downtown nightclubs, and in a very short period of time you could find ODDITY at almost every major bar and club in the National Capital Region.
But then suddenly he decided to try something different, and he hung up his headphones.
After a brief hiatus, where he made a daring attempt at being a grown up member of society, ODDITY quickly realised that this was no fun at all, so to maximise his time on this planet he decided to dedicate his life to roller coasters, bright flashing lights and, of course, music.
This leads us to the present day. By lacing all of the music he plays with subliminal messages, ODDITY has made himself more addictive then both crack and speed, and by investing in clothes made out of non-potato-sack fabric, he has quickly become a sex symbol. ODDITY is now looking to expand his reach, or failing that, die in a fabulous Leaving Las Vegas style way. In either case, sooner or later, a movie will be made about him.

By chance circumstances I stumbled into what I made a profession for myself.
Some may call it fate. I call it the best darn accident that has ever happened to me.
Being shy and timid, I quickly gained the reigns of my alter ego of being an outgoing party animal.
The music and microphone my weapons in slaying this shy and timid creature. The outcome a bass woofer test of epic
proportions.
The flashy lights and technology aspect of everything just made my eyes sparkle. It was this shy nerdy guys wet dream.
Now that I have gotten much older I have become an expert in acting by methods of pretending to like people. I should be
nominated and accepting a grammy award as best leading role of DJ and people loving guy sometime soon.
I blame not my friend at the time leading me down this road of bliss and possible self destruction.
I have yet to embrace or drink tigers blood for fun. None the less keep faking it until you make it my friend.

Started in S.F., CA in H.S. (Circa 1985) a friends sister was dating a club DJ. I was always curious and kept asking him to teach me. Finally he did. I DJ's from my Junior Year in HS till my Freshman year in college. I quit when I went into the Navy
After the Navy I started up again. I was living in SoCAL at this time and managed to get a residency at a few bars and a club. Decided to do it full time for about 2yrs. Got burned out and decided to quit again.
Came back into DJing mid to late 90's. This time just the weekends and the occasional weeknight here there. Still primarily bars and clubs. In 2001, I moved to Dallas for a job opportunity. I quit DJ'ing again.
2009 returned to DJ'ing. Had to adapt to this whole "digital" crap. Still adapting to it. Only thing good, is I don't have to lug around records anymore. Again doing mostly bars and clubs although I have been trying to focus on corporate events.
