Me: Sam thank you for joining
with the readers of youngmantras, so how are you?
DJsAm: I am smooth with the road
out here. I am good & jolly.
Me: Sam first tells us why you
choose to be DJ?
DJsAm: Ahhh, I don’t ever thought I would be a DJ. Well it happened in 2012. It was a turning point in my life.
2012 was best and worst for me. I had a troubled depressed life, Family
troubles and little heart ache you know. I was getting depressed day after day.
I was studying than at IDEMI, Mumbai. I was inquisitive and still I am with big
web. But tragedy sucked and kind of bunked and lost my classes. Used to be
alone, sometimes locked in the dark. Then came the music in my life, I used
listen a lot of hardcore, hard trance, metal kind of genres of music, out of
depression actually. While listening I would go through my whole life I found
peace somewhere. Then I tend to listen
other peaceful and happy genres too like country, classic, uplifting
trance. The club tunes, the hip-hop, rap
came after that. So in short I found peace in the music. So gave a thought, I
love the music when I keep listening. It keeps me alive and jolly, why not make
it a careere. And so, here I am a DJ.
Me: Wow that is really quite a
nostalgic journey. So how you will define the profession DJ?
DJsAm: DJ means Disck Jockey. A DJ
is a playlist with soul. Weaving and mixing the tunes with emotions of the
crowd. All alive.
Me: Which city
or Town of North-East India you love to wave your playlist most?
DJsAm: It is hard to tell. Guwahati
is the main city in Nort-East India, so it is the hub, you have the diversity
of music and loads of commerciality. Personally I love spinning in the hilly
regions like Arunachal Pradesh, Shillong , Dimapur , Diphu, every kid in the
town knows the music. They have the natural energy to dance and make the night
go happy. I spinned up till 7 A.M in the morning there. I love them, and love
to soon there mostly. In Assam it is kind of different. Lower Assam is
challenging than upper Assam. Upper Assam tends to be acquainted with the club
scene and lower Assam ready to have it all. We just need to spread it up.
Me: Sounds cool enough, Sam there
are lots of Kids out there want to be DJ so maybe it will help them if you tell
them what is needed to be a DJ?
DJsAm: Everyone will say music but
I will say combination of Music, Network, Money, Online Presence, some Internet
savvy brains, a long list supporters , a leader inside you, the managing aspect
, knowledge of DJing history, and the never give up attitude. Let me elaborate
some of these , Music is the foremost because DJing is all about music so you
need to have bust knowledge of music, Network in a sense better you know people
the better it helps you in the long run, if you have money you can buy the
stage or create your own events, online presence is must now a days more than
half of my own gigs are booked from people from facebook,. There will be time
you know when everyone you know will against you or what you do, so you need a
positive attitude to standby and go-on.
Me: How you define success?
DJsAm: (Laugh) It cannot measured
dude, cannot be measured just like the beauty. Its the limit you perceive your
success to be . There is no harm in it, but once you reach your limit you will
want more. So there is no limit to success or it cannot be measured. It only
what you perceive your success to be.
Me: Great, so let’s have some fun
ask-tell game, what you say?
DJsAm: What I supposed to do?
Me: Nothing just answers comfortably.
DJsAm: All right, I am ready with
my guns blazing.
Me: Okay, so name three things
you can’t live without?
DJsAm: My laptop, Internet &
Mother Nature.
Me: Name five things you never forget to take
with you on your journey to play?
DJsAm: My Hard Disc (HDD),
Chargers, A pair of T-shirts, a pair of Jeans and my mobile phone.
Me: Interesting, okay Sam, whom
you will credit your success?
DJsAm: My failures.
Me: So philosophical, tell us if
you have a wish to live a life of any music legend whose life you would love to live?
DJsAm: (Laugh) My own. I don’t
compare myself with any of the legend & I don’t want to live any of their
life either, I respect them but will live and create my own life.
Me: So self-sufficient.
DJsAm: Yeah, self-sufficient and
self-satisfied.
Me: If there is a bag full of US$
and a high end DJ machine and you can take one only, which one you will take?
DJsAm: I will rather divide the
money take a lot small modular DJ controllers.
Me: Finally any words towards
your fans and music lover?
DJsAm: Music is meant for sharing.
Spread the love and whenever you feel down plug in your head-phone and tune
your favourite track. You would be happy, you did. Love you all.
