Today we’d like to introduce you to Dj Fourtitude
Hi DJ, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
My father was a DJ in the Chicagoland area during the 60s through the 80s so I followed his footsteps musically. I started DJing in 1993 for my middle school’s “Sock Hop” dance and never looked back. Music has been a saving grace that I am forever thankful for.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
No it definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. During my freshmen year in college my equipment was stolen. It took me years to get back to where I was as a DJ, but I finally did so much has changed in the DJ world. So after learning more in depth about some of the new technologies it was time to get back in the game!
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am in Logistics Management by day then spinning as a DJ by night!
I am known for my smooth transitions not only in the DJ booth but on the dance floor as well.
I am very proud of my following who supports me in every endeavor.
What sets me apart from the others is that I march to the beat of my own drum. Reading the room is my forte’ so using that skill helps tremendously when working the dance floor.
Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?
I see the DJ industry growing larger than before! A new generation of DJs will emerge but I pray for them to have guidance from the old school DJs so the history will never be forgotten. Both of my sons are getting into the craft so it’s important to teach them the proper fundamentals that was instilled in me by my father and his crew of DJs.
