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.

4. What separates you from other DJs in your city or region?

Furthermore, don’t just DJ, presently build platforms. However, from my radio shows to interviews and magazines, I help artists expand their exposure. I also bring that chopped and screwed element that not everybody else is doing.

5. Are you more of a crowd-reader or do you plan your sets in advance?

Additionally, I’m definitely a crowd reader. May have an idea going in, but will adjust based on the energy in the room.

“Swag Surfin” is always a go-to. No matter where I’m at, it gets people moving.

7. What has been your biggest career milestone so far?

Basically, one of my biggest milestones is building over 200 radio episodes and interviewing artists like Lil Flip. Certainly creating multiple platforms like U3 and my magazines.

8. How do you stay current with new music and trends?

Comparatively, stay tapped in with underground artists, social media, and what’s buzzing in the streets. Listen to what people are actually playing, not just what’s trending online.

11. Have you ever had to recover from a technical issue during a live set? What happened?

Yes, I’ve had moments where equipment didn’t work properly. You just stay calm, keep the crowd engaged, and fix it . The key is not letting the crowd feel the panic..

12. Are you a controller DJ or turntable purist?

private events, tours, etc.) I do a mix of everything: parties, lounges, school events, and showcases.
