60 Seconds With… DJ53X

Define your genre in five words or less:

Uplifting, urban, old-school, refreshing hip hop.

So, someone is walking past as you guys are playing, they then go get a beer and tell their friend about you… what do they say?

I believe they would definitely notice the energy and passion that I put out on stage, along with my quirky image, followed by my technical abilities on the decks.

How long have you been gigging and writing?

I started learning at the age of 15 and my first gig was at 17 where they didn’t let me in the club because I was a minor. I had to wait for my parents before getting in, I have been gigging since, I started with a modified cassette player to increase or reduce the pitch to turntables, CDs, USB, etc. If I do the maths properly I have been DJing for 12 years.

What inspires or has influenced your music the most?

I stuttered very bad being a kid/teenager, verbal communication wasn’t my best, this is when I started playing with music and it help me to express myself through the speakers to the one or ones before me. My style of music changed throughout the years, at a younger age I used  very “dark” sounds being an adolescent and angry at everyone but years changed it  to a very happy and uplifting style.

When can we see you play next?

The best places for R&B and hip hop, Fabulous and Supafly. Visit restless.com.au for more details.

What makes you happiest about what you’re doing?

Being able to pass my energy and good vibes to the crowd and changing their mood from average to anything better.
