Dami: What got you into producing?
DJ: When I was 9, I started writing songs with a former friend of mine back in the day and I wasn’t really involved in it until I was 14. During the days after school, I’d go to this youth program that got the youth involved in major activities to keep them off the streets then one day during this cookout, I met this DJ who showed me his setup and I was in the feels of the moment. From there on, I decided to become a DJ
