DJ Big Aul From Radio Phoenix enjoyed his radio shows I use to admire his voice n song selection he had. Dj Bizzy Wizzy I used to enjoy his mixes whenever he featured on ZNBZ Smooth Talk Programme n I told my Self that one day I will be like him. The love I had for music made me start my life in Deejaying, got inspired from the mentioned Djs also from the local Djs I use to watch them doing their thing when I visit clubs. Started compiling Cassette Disc (Cd) and Audio Tapes, recording radio Shows and imitating what I used to hear on radios. Had a number of tapes as I was starting my Deejaying career though my parents didn’t support it. Even though they refused me to be a dj I used to escape home and meet up with fellow Djs. As time went by they started supporting me in my work and encouraged me a lot as to stay away from the Bad vices. Then I decided to learn how to dj so that one day I can be like one of the Zambian top Djs. I took time looking for some one who can help me with the leaning process, as for that time we had no Deejaying schools in Zambia. So I spotted a man by the name of DJ Elv who was the head Dj for TOP ONE nightclub in Chilenje south. DJ Elv taught me the basics of Deejaying as in how to use the Dj mixer and the Dj decks.
