DJ Spontane on Philly hip hop:
You are one of the top DJs in Philly, how did you build your name?
I built my name through hard work, consistency, a willingness to keep learning, and just trying to be involved in as many opportunities as I could. As a result, my name was built.
What separates you from many DJs in the city, let alone the tristate?
I am much more than a DJ. In 2019, I made history being the first African American to be a host on a major Latin radio station, LA Mega 105.7FM. They have over 2.3 million listeners. I have been cast in TV shows, videos, and movies, one being 2 Fast 2 Furious. In addition, I have been on tour with names such as Lil Wayne and Eminem. Also, I have my very own “Sneakerhead” jersey that dropped this summer designed by myself. I also write and produce music for myself and others. A lot of other DJs play a set of Latin music, I could play it the entire night. My versatility is unmatched.
DJ Spontane on music and fashion:
You have a long history and it’s good to see you dropping music soon and the clothing line is out, 2022 has been a great year so far, what keeps you pushing?
Music is literally who and what I am. I constantly have music in my head I want to produce, beats I want to turn into songs, fashion ideas, there is SO MUCH I WANT TO DO! I come from a musical family, it’s in my blood, and I want to leave my mark on this world so when I am gone, I will be remembered.
What do you think is needed next for the Philly hip hop scene for it to have more impact like other cities?
As of right now I think we’re doing ok. I think more interaction between the artist and the DJs in the city must happen.
DJ Spontane on having a solid team and closing out 2022:
You have a solid team, which makes business easier, talk about the importance of it.
I believe in order to be successful everyone needs a solid team. One person cannot do it all.
It takes a village to raise a child, it takes a team to make the dream work. After all, how else can anything grow?
With four months left in the year how will DJ Spontane close out 2022?
I will close out 2022 by releasing music, putting out more clothing in my clothing line, continuing to build my brand, and spending time with my family.
