We caught up with the brilliant and insightful DJ Savage a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
DJ, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?
I was introduced to entertainment at a young age. I began my career at the age of 5 as a musician in my church. My church would often host big crowds for services and other special events. So, after performing in front of 100 people (a few times), I knew I wanted to pursue a career as an entertainer, with hopes of performing on the big stage one day.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your background and context?
After graduating from high school, I enrolled into college at Florida International University in Miami FL. As I moved into my dorm room, I realized that I would not be able to bring my drum set into the dorm with me. As I reached this dilemma, I asked myself, how I could still be active with music? The idea of djing came up. As a drummer, I essentially attained some of the basic skills a DJ needs (beat matching, counting beats, song mixing and blending), so I thought I would give it a try. I downloaded some software, got my first set of turntables, and here never looked back. In 2019 after djing for 2 years I decided to officially make it a business and that is when I created Dynamic Sounds.
Dynamic Sounds is a djing & entertainment company. Our main goal at Dynamic Sounds is to create unforgettable experiences for each client. We can provide such experiences to our clients with our powerful sound system, up-lighting, stage lighting, low lying fog, cold sparkles, open format djing style, song selection and crowd engagement. These factors are also what sets us apart from entertainment companies. We not only want to play good music like all good DJs, but we also want to enhance the experience (feeling like you’re at a concert, club or festival).
I am most proud of my ability to adapt. Whether I am asked to provide various genres of music, including those from countries outside of the United States, or whether I am asked to fill in as the Master of Ceremonies at a wedding or an event due to an emergency. The ability to adapt allows me to display exceptional professionalism and provide the ultimate customer service.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
Seeing one’s expression when I play a song. If someone was to walk into a museum and see an amazing piece of art, that may say “wow” as if he or she is in shock of the masterpiece. I view music the same way. It feels amazing when I see clients or spectators with that “wow” expression after hearing me play a song. That song may have taken them back years, brought back memories, made them feel good or make someone who is usually shy get up and dance.
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
To be the best I can be, provide the best service I can and bless people through the gift that God has given me.
