Ideal crowd?
How do you feel about requests?
Do you have a story about a particular request or requester?

Where can we find you?
How'd you get your current main gig?
How did you get introduced to Spun academy? A flier, etc..?
Had you already wanted to become a DJ at the time?
What drew you to DJing originally?
How long have you been spinning?
How soon after you started spinning did you start booking gigs?
What are your thoughts on vinyl vs CDs vs laptops?
As a laptop DJ, I take it you use Serato since you mention your hand being on the wax and the fader.
What songs will we find ourselves dancing to with you?

What do you think of Estelle touring with Gym Class Heroes?
