As some of you know I am heavily immersed in the music scene. Being a DJ for more than twenty years and owning enough records to break many a man's back has brought me great pleasure. I launched this project a few years ago with my buddy Vince to some very decent success.
We organized this sixty to eighty page quarterly publication and music CD, with the help of photographer, writer and producer friends in the Detroit area. The content was focused on the lifestyles of Detroit DJs and musicians, including advice on music production, set lists, fashion and art.
I got too busy to continue working on it, as it was a beast to produce a printed mag of that size in addition to my day job, freelance projects, music production and trying to have some family life, but the project continues. New bodies jumped in to shoulder the weight and Vince is still completely involved. The magazine is now produced online, but the vibe lives on.
My most memorable moment was being involved in the interview process of The Electrifying Mojo, one of the greatest heroes of my youth. I was able to have coffee with him for several hours and ask anything I wanted. This was an incredible opportunity from a man who rarely does interviews. More importantly, I was able to listen to his story firsthand and learn more lessons than I can count. Not even a fraction of what I heard made it to the mag, as this man was an overflowing fountain of knowledge. I was incredibly fortunate to be able to sit back and drink it in.
