DJ Spider Part 1

We are here at the Purple Lounge, right here at the Standard on Sunset in Hollywood.

We're about to get an exclusive interview with DJ Spider, one of Hollywood's hottest DJs.

Welcome to Young Hollywood.

What's up, DJ?

Spider.

So when did your name like really get out there out there with the crowd with Hollywood?

I know that BPM had something to do with it, right?

Uh, well BPM Magazine, I won a contest called Next on the Decks, just really going out like I make a ton of mixed CDs and just hustling myself off and meeting people.

So what age did you start uh DJing?

Uh, when I was 18.

Um, I got turntables and then, you know, learn about different kinds of music and sit in my room and practice all day and night and, you know, DJing is a huge part of hip-hop and I just I would hear it in my head and see my friends doing it and go, I know I could do this and um, I got it, started doing a radio show and it just made me be like, this is what I'm doing for my life, you know, like if I can make money off this, this is what I'm doing.

You know, I just walk that fine line where everyone's having fun and you're not going to please everyone.

There's always people yelling at you and hating, whatever.

We're in a industry where everyone's playing other people's music for the most part, you know, I try to do my own remixes and scratch and I'll remix tracks and have things that some other people won't have or or come up with mixes that other people don't do.

Yeah, I'll be surprised, you know, that people know a lot of stuff about what's going on with my life or my DJing and I'm like, you know, honored or flattered.

You know, I'm just like thank you, guys.

I appreciate it.

I always was sitting in my bedroom dreaming like, oh man, I'm going to make these remixes of these mixes and hopefully these people will want to come hear it, you know.

And then now I get to go places and sometimes they're like, oh, I heard you do this on the internet and I want to hear this or I heard about you from here and it's cool, you know.

I I love it.

Yo, what up, this DJ Spider.

You know, you're checking out Young Hollywood.

All right, peace.

Young Hollywood is here.

Busy, yo.
