DJ Charlie Caz is a seasoned professional DJ whose mixes are as smooth as butter. His mixes are
like his personality, smooth and easy to love. After seeing and listening to Mr. Caz on his interent shows we decided to ask this musicmaster some questions to better introduce him to YOU...
NNY: How did you discover your passion
for music?
CAZ: It started at a very young age.. I always used to run around banging on things making different types of percussion sounds. I was a kid that wanted to make music even more than play with toys.
NNY: when and where was your very first
first experience Djing?
CAZ: My very first experience DJing was at the age of 13. My older brother bought DJ equipment because he was kind of interested in it. I became attracted to that and I started playing on his set when he wasn't around.
NNY: What has been the best moment
in your musical career so far? what advice would you give to DJ's who are trying to find their footing in the music business?
CAZ: I would say BEST moment was the first time that I actually got paid for playing music at a place called Skatekey in the Bronx, I started there at the age of 19, and my career as a DJ kind of really took
off from there.
..And what advice would I give anybody that's trying to get a hold on this? That's a real difficult question because you really have to have a passion for this
because it's not just what you see. Ask yourself if you're really up for this ride because it's a
lot. It's a ride and it's a lot of work that you have to put into
this if you want to be really good at it. Also, get to know the business, because it is a business at the end of the day. You want to know the ins-and-outs before you get yourself involved could be costly
if you don't know what you're doing.
NNY: Talk to me about the making of your
internet shows what was the inspiration behind them and where can people find you?
CAZ: It started out as an experiment I wanted to see how many people I can reach. So, the first internet shows I did, I
didn't name.. and then I decided to name it like it was an experiment.. that's what how I came up with the "Charlie Caz Project." ...A work in progress. The inspiration behind them come from my my beginnings as a DJ .. what got me
into DJing... being inspired and being able to move people with music. I like to change their emotions and make them feel something.
