nterviewer: Who is Dj D Double D and where is Dj D Double D
from?
Dj D Double D: I am a Hip Hop Dj from “The North” in
Johannesburg.
Interviewer: Your love for Hip-Hop, when did you notice that you had
love for this music genre and what influenced you to choose this path?
Dj D Double D: I have had an interest in Hip Hop since I
started listening to it when I was in Primary School. Hip Hop
interested me because it is a music genre that I feel every
person can relate to in some way. To me, Hip Hop is more
than just a music genre, it is a lifestyle. Watching music
videos of Hip Hop Deejays on YouTube inspires me,
because as a Hip Hop Deejay there is so much room for
creativity.
Interviewer: Who do you look up to and what inspires you
through your musical journey?
Dj D Double D: The Artists / Deejays I look up to
are AKA, Da L.E.S, Ryan The Dj, Dj
Speedsta Dj Milkshake, Dj Dimplez
Dj Pauly D. The way in which these
guys have climbed the ladder of
success over the years and each of
their unique styles inspire me through
my musical journey.
Interviewer: Cdj’s, TurnTables,
Controllers, which one do you prefer and
why my man?
Dj D Double D: I prefer TurnTables, but when
it comes to a more portable solution, the
Pioneer DDJ SX Controller is my preference. I
enjoy playing off CDJs when available.

Interviewer: . I heard through the grapevine that you
fresh from the UK, what were you up too over there
and how is their Hip-hop and nightlife scene over
there?
Dj D Double D: Yes, being in the UK was a great
experience! I was there to expand my horizons and
bring the beats that moved their feet. In the UK,
the nightlife scene buzzes and it is very well
established. Hip Hop is popular over there and it
is only but growing.
