DJ J3

GFM: How long have you been in the music industry and has music always been a part of your life?

I Wouldn't Say I'm In The Industry, I'm Just A Robin Hood To The

Indies Providing Them With Outlets. But Music Has Been In My Life From

Birth, My Grandfather "Jim The Angel Murray" (R.I.P.) Help Start The

First Two Urban Radio Stations In Tampa, WTMP & WRXB So I Come From

Walls Of Wax, 2 Turntables And A Mixer Before I Knew What They Were!

GFM: Why are you called Mr i75?

That Was My Pipeline, My Second Home, I ATL Became My Second Home In 2007 So I Was Back And Forth Every Week, I Still Had Studios And A

Music Stand To Run In The FLA.

GFM: Was there a specific moment in your life where you thought, music

is what I want to do?

I Was So Young I Can't Even Remember.. I Would Say It Was When I Heard

Whodini "I'm A Hoe"... Yes, Real Hip Hop!

GFM: Whether you’re an actor, musician, or artist, I imagine it is hard for anyone to break out into mainstream America. What have been your

struggles and triumphs in the business? Are you interested in venturing to

markets overseas?

I Wouldn't Say I've Ran Into Any Struggles Thus Far Because Out The

Gate I Knew I Had To Depend On Me To Get What I Needed Done. Therefore

I Suffer Few Let Downs, And Few Set Backs. As Far As The Overseas

Market, We (WSMR) Have A Few Clients On Foreign Soil. They Truly Love

Music Over There.. I've Been Offered DJing Gigs In Australia Before..

And Might I Add They Pay Very Well! #PLUG
