Line Dance Connection: |
How'd you get into DJing? |
|
Keisha Brown: |
Two guys were trying to start a new venture at
a local club. I was asked to be one of the teachers at
the dance class they were starting up. The first night when
the party started after the class the DJ didn't have a lot of music we
danced to. So I stepped in and the rest
is history. |

What's your not so favorite thing
about it? |
|
Keisha Brown: |
Not so favorite thing... Setting up and

|
Line Dance Connection: |
Some people say a DJ makes or breaks a
party; do you do anything special to prepare for a party? |
|
Keisha Brown: |
I think of what my crowd is going to be like and what music they
may like to hear at the party and make sure I have it. If you can read your crowd, the dance floor
stays packed. |

Line Dance Connection: |
What's the one
thing you think you're known for? |
|
Keisha Brown: |
Hmmm. For a long time I think I was known
for Djing without saying a word. People would say "you're a good Dj but why you never talk." LOL! I
would have someone else MC for me all the time. But, I'm getting better
at the MC part of the business. Soon y'all might be asking me to shut up. J |

I try to fit in as many request as I can. It's tuff sometimes. |

What would you say to people who leave
a party upset because they didn’t hear the one song they wanted to hear? |

Unfortunately you can't please everybody. I would encourage those people to come back
and hopefully I can get their request in next time. |
