DJ MARC YOUNG

1. Please tell me a little about yourself? Who is Dj-Marc Young?

Well, my name is Marc Young , as it states "YOUNG" , i'm a young guy who started listening to #SoulisticHouse #House music in general when i was 16 but never really took it to heart as much as i do now. I am where i am today all because of a deejay competition i entered @VC (Varsity College) and was told by my friends not to stop and carry on deejaying, and i did so, and i'm here now because of support from friends and family. A lot of my success as a Deejay has come from hard work, passion and self belief, but most importantly the work of my agent/manager Kiandiko Kasure "Kia". He's the Movement behind everything "DJ MARC YOUNG".

I stared deejaying when i entered the vc competition 2 years ago, but since then I've been ''in the dark'' practicing and defining my sound and recognizing who my influences are in the industry. I started deejaying seriously 4 months ago.

2. How did you get your start in the music business?

To me, most of it was luck at the beginning and being in the right place at the right time, but from what I've learnt is that in this industry its about who you know and what they are willing to do for u, if u willing to do the same. I was fortunate enough to know a great deal of people early in my career as a deejay.
