1. What is your name ? When did you first realize DJing was more than just a hobby for you?
My name is DJ Baby Blue Diamond. Although, in time I realized DJing was more than a hobby when I started dropping my chopped and screwed mixes back in 2011. People actually connected with it.
Once I saw people tuning in, requesting music, and supporting consistently. I knew this was something bigger.
2. What inspired you to become a DJ?
Because , my siblings played a lot of DJ Screw growing up, and that sound stayed with me. Afterwards, taught myself how to chop and screw. Instantly, that turned into a passion. Also wanted to create a platform for underground artists who don’t always get the spotlight.
3. How would you describe your DJ style and sound?
Hence, my style is versatile but rooted in chopped and screwed culture. Generally mix hip hop, R&B and underground music. Fourthly , focus on creating a vibe more than just playing songs.
