Can you really concentrate with your work while DJing despite the excitement going in a club? Yes i can. :D Which clubs do you work for as DJ? I played for a lot of clubs. For example Musikpark Wackersdorf, Matrix Ansbach, Mahagoni Bar Augsburg, Riverside Salzburg, Club 360 Grad Nürnberg, Zirkel Erlangen and many others. One of my favorite clubs is called "Soho" which is located in Weissenburg. The whole club looks like New York. There’s a Little Italy, a (crazy) Chinatown, a Times Square and the restrooms are patterned after the style of New York Subway. Since 2014 i’m working there as a Resident-DJ. Twice a month you can hear me play at Soho Weissenburg. To be a DJ, one is into composing music, right? What type of music do you compose? That's not quite true. As a DJ you do not have to be a composer. I know many DJs who do not produce music. But I also believe that it is an important point to become famous. Especially as a House DJ. Many DJs are only known because of their produced music. As an example you can take David Guetta or Calvin Harris. Neither of the two would be so famous if they would not produce their own I will also start producing soon. I made my first tries, but which are not known to the public yet. I also have to familiarize myself more with the equipment . I think I will start with trap beats to create and produce some few remixes . But that will take awhile. SMAC Do you make tours as a DJ? No not yet. Maybe in the future. In my opinion you need own tracks to play them on a tour. DJ is a financially rewarding job. This is true, isn't it? You can make good money. Haha - I'm very often asked this question and I always give the same answer. Yes DJs get paid well and there is a large margin between the talent fees DJs get because of many reasons but the details should be secret. Aside from making music, what do you study? I’m studying Business Administrations with a focus on Marketing- and Mediamanagement. I like this because it fits pretty well to my DJ Business. How did you hear about Sleeves Magazine? :-) What is your opinion about it? It’s a nice start up magazine. And I like the style of the magazine. A friend told me about your magazine. Sleeves Magazine
