INTERNATIONAL
GIGS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well,
I proudly say that I'm the first Indian DJ to do International Gigs.
Last year has been a very bumpy road for me.
Running between my Radio Show on Lotus Fm and playing at
various locations around
South Africa
. My big break was when
I was invited to play Bhangra at a Club in
Namibia
.
Namibia
is a very large country with very few Indians (8 families).
The balance of the people are from
the Coloured, Black, Chinese and White
origin. So you can
imagine the stress I felt. Luckily,
I was accompanied by five of
Durban
's most beautiful Indian girls (models) to showcase Indian garments.
On
the night of the gig, I turned
Namibia
around cause they've never heard a Bollywood song in there life and
by the end of the night, they kept asking for more.
That's when the owner of the Club realized the potential I
have and asked me to stay an extra week to play Hip Hop, House and
Bhangra at different hang outs.
This was an unforgettable experience for me.....
Thereafter,
it was over the sea for me...My next stop was
Mauritius
. This time, I was all
alone for a week, besides having Soha
Ali Khan as my neighbour at the Hotel I
was living in, she was also a guest at the club I played
at....Anyway; I had no knowledge of the music that people listen to
in
Mauritius
, so I carried very versatile records and CD's.
I played at a club called SAXO on that Friday night.
With my scratching and turntablist
tricks that I performed, the crowd was very pleased and they crowned
me as a DJ celebrity in that area.
Saturday night, I was invited to mix on Top FM (a very
popular radio station in
Mauritius
) for the entire population. I
promise you, everybody loved my set.
I played a lot of our local music and Dizzy D Remixes.
The listeners kept asking for more according to the on air
DJ. So my one hour set
went into the third hour.
The next day, I was treated like a Superstar DJ.......
This
year, my aim is to continue with my international gigs....So watch
this
space...
