Name: DJ Whutevva
Age: 25
Occupation: Club & Radio DJ
Relationship Status: Chillin! lol
Ian Jarrell: How long have u been in the game?
DJ Whutevva: I been djing for about 9 years but would say I got in the game heavy about 4 years ago
Ian Jarrell: When did u decide you wanted to DJ?
DJ Whutevva: When I went by one of my peoples crib and they had turntables. These dudes were cutting and scratching and had records (real vinyl) all over the bed. From that point I knew that's what I wanted to do. It looked fun
Ian Jarrell: What was your big break?
DJ Whutevva: When I got to meet the Kool DJ Red Alert and DJ Kut. They saw how passionate I was about djing and really guided me in the right direction. Getting info from two legends is the biggest break I could have asked for.
Ian Jarrell: What are your Top 3 career goals...
DJ Whutevva: Become Legendary, Become legendary and become more legendary
Ian Jarrell: Whose party would you love to DJ?
DJ Whutevva: The Kool DJ Red Alert. I would love to DJ one of his parties, but you’ll would have to tell him to take it easy on me with the poo poo juice (laughs)
Ian Jarrell: That sounds like an inside joke, I ain’t even going to ask. So what made you start working at Power 105.1?
DJ Whutevva: I got an internship at Power my senior year in College. I always dreamed of being on the radio, so after my internship I harassed Marc and Darren to hire me on the street team. You only get one shot sometime to get into a radio station. And with me being a dj I would have cleaned floors if I had to to stay in the building. I had to sacrifice and make 6 dollars an hour after being a college graduate but it was worth it for me.
Ian Jarrell: So where did you grow up?
DJ Whutevva: Bronx NY all day, the birthplace of hip hop kid!
Ian Jarrell: Where do you see yourself in 09?
DJ Whutevva: Everywhere, parties, mixtapes, radio, television. Grinding to get to that legendary status
Ian Jarrell: Explain your love for the turntables, what makes you love DJing?
DJ Whutevva: DJing is an outlet for me. I get to create music and make it sound the way I want it to. Its kind of a control thing too, when you dj at a party you are running the show, it's kind of a powerful thing kid lol. I love music so djing is just fun to me, and Im glad and blessed to be doing it for a living.
Ian Jarrell: Now how did you come up with your name?
DJ Whutevva: That's a long story. Pretty much a lady that I met told me that my old dj name was wack because she could not remember it. So while she was continuing to destroy my old name she said the word Whutevva. And I was like oh shit I like that. And that was it. And Im not telling you my old dj name (laughs)
Ian Jarrell: You don’t have to reveal all that info (laughs). Tell us some of your accomplishments to date...
DJ Whutevva: Aww man where do I begin, for one a huge accomplishment for me is doing what I love the most and making a great living at it. Other then that I have dj'd at concerts for Wyclef Jean, Ray J, Nice and Smooth, and Good Charlotte. I am a DJ in the number 1 radio market on New York's Power 105.1. I have been on Sirius Satellite Radio, and most importantly I continue to influence a lot of young people who listen to me. It's important to get across to the youth that they can become anything they want in life.
Ian Jarrell: Why are you different from other DJs
DJ Whutevva: Cause I will not settle and get all comfy like most DJ's do. I'm not just concerned with clubs or radio in New York, I'm gonna be global with this.
Ian Jarrell: List your favorite songs of 08 that you loved spinning...
DJ Whutevva: T.I feat. Rihanna- Live Your Life, Ron Browz - Pop Champagne, and The Game and Lil’ Wayne joint. I can’t even remember the name of that one but it was hot (laughs)
Ian Jarrell: I think that was called “My Life” or something (laughs)
DJ Whutevva: Yeah that’s it kid..
Ian Jarrell: Where can people catch you spinning?
DJ Whutevva: Everywhere right now, clubs from New York to China. As well as on Power 105.1
Ian Jarrell: Be honest, is DJing a difficult thing to do?
DJ Whutevva: Nah not anymore lol. At first it was because no one taught me how to spin, but like with anything you get used to it after a while. I'm addicted to it so it’s easy as hell.
Ian Jarrell: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
DJ Whutevva: On the top of this DJ ish. Doing everything from here to Africa. You might catch me in a movie or two as well, or sitting on the couch with Oprah.
Ian Jarrell: That is a big goal to sit next to Oprah. Now tell our readers some of the celebs you have worked with in the past?
DJ Whutevva: Greg Nice, Mary J. Blige, DJ Clue, Ludacris, Akon, Pitbull and of course the Celebrity DJ Whutevva.
Ian Jarrell: What is something a lot of people don't know about you?
DJ Whutevva: That I love to watch the History channel and A&E. I like shows like the first 48 and stories about how the train system in New York was built. That shit is interesting son (laughs)
Ian Jarrell: How does a girl get DJ Whatevva? What are some qualities a woman has to have to attract you?
DJ Whutevva: She has to be sexy, independent and have a nice personality. She needs to be able to make me laugh. A nice ass wouldn’t hurt either..(laughs)
Ian Jarrell: Who would you compare your DJing style too?
DJ Whutevva: Nobody! I learned from a lot of legends but my style is all mine.
Ian Jarrell: Who do you look up to in the game, and why??
DJ Whutevva: I look up to dudes such as Red Alert, Marley Marl, Funkmaster Flex, DJ Kut, DJ Clue, DJ Khaled, and any of them dudes that are doing it big and who took the game to another level. I look up to them because they created a lane and pimped it to it's fullest and that's exactly what I'm in the process of doing. People can sleep on me now if they want, trust me they won’t be 2 years from now.
Ian Jarrell: Thank you so much man for sitting down with us.
DJ Whutevva: No problem kid, Good lookin my dude…
