I.
Speaker 2:Welcome back. Welcome back to a never episode of the vibes podcast. Man, we got a lady here that just came from Boston. She don't like it, but that ain't none of my business to discuss.
Speaker 1:Filly young boys ox.
Speaker 2:All that I'm gonna introduce her. Let introduce herself, miss ma'ams.
Speaker 1:Hey, what's up Y'all? It's your girl, dj honey, originally from Philly, based out of DC. Let's see what the hell he bought.
Speaker 2:We'll get right into it. You have had a very Interesting come up, because this is a new. You've been in this game for how long now I've been?
Speaker 1:Skill set. I've I've known for 17 years. Oh, okay professionally about the past 14 years.
Speaker 2:So you in Philly Mm-hmm, who were you around? You was like no, I'm a DJ now. You wasn't with the Barbies, you wasn't chicken noodle soup in it outside. What were you doing?
Speaker 1:I actually was. I actually was. I started off as a as a break dancer Get the fuck out of here. I used to break dance bullshit. No, for real, real shit. I was in a ballet hip-hop dance break dancing. I used to go to the club every weekend, me and my best friend, with big-ass pants. Yes, wedges.
Speaker 2:So, hey, who put you onto the dance like your mom's?
Speaker 1:name. I was always a dancer, I was a cheerleader, I was in theater, I was an all-time you was an entertainer, kid. I'm here. So mommy I want to do this, okay, okay.
Speaker 2:So you weren't shy at all.
Speaker 1:No, never, never shy DJ. Just kind of happened, honestly bullshit.
Speaker 2:You don't do what. Who uncle? What basement was you went?
Speaker 1:Well see, my uncle was a DJ, but I didn't get fascinated by it. Okay, what happened was. My last boyfriend was a DJ oh.
Speaker 2:That'll do it.
Speaker 1:My last boyfriend was a deep, but that's not what did it. It is so funny that I'm here in Baltimore City because DJ honey was birthing Baltimore. Mm-hmm. It was, um, when I was younger, I actually used to want to be a music producer, so I used to make beats and actually I'm actually tapping back into that love because I kind of lost my way. But let's go back. I made a. You remember my space in the music pages.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:As my safe page with my new beat Make a fucking club and Debonia, samir, hit me up. You know the creator of Samiris thing. Yeah then him. He had reached out to me. He said I hear what you're trying to do. If you come to Baltimore, I can teach you. Oh yeah so I came to Baltimore. He was teaching me how to sample, how old were you I was about 18.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I was. Uh, he told me how to use NPCs, sample mix, all that stuff, and I looked over to my right and he has some technique 1200 Set up. And this is back when Serato just came out and my boyfriend at the time was trying to figure it out.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I was like Samir, can you teach me, cuz my boyfriend won't teach me? Samir literally is like you match the tempos. This is how you bring it in, this how you change the song. Goodnight. And I was he would sleep and I was in the. I was in the studio for like five hours.
Speaker 2:Oh, he crashed course student.
Speaker 1:He really did. He didn't want boom, boom, boom. Bye, good night.
Speaker 2:You make this your own now.
Speaker 1:Yep, and that's. That's literally how DJ honey happened, cuz I was honey productions. Oh, okay, as a producer and DJ. Honey birth from that.
Speaker 2:Where did the name honey come from?
Speaker 1:the movie Cuz I was breakdancing.
Speaker 2:Okay. So when you realize that, boom, you finally started gaining this skill, right? When did you know like oh, I can do this, do this.
Speaker 1:That wasn't the ever a question whether or not I could do it, because some of like the best DJs and Philly Really taught me the craft. Mm-hmm. So Because I was a dancer, you know you went to club and the DJ fuck up the song, so I think is in the dryer. Yeah right, I never wanted to be that DJ, so it took me years before I Started DJing and that's honestly one of my biggest regrets that you waited because I wanted to rock the club Before I started.
Speaker 2:I didn't want to just go in and just, but coming from the DJ side of it, isn't that what you want to do? Don't you want to hone the craft when you get there?
Speaker 1:I was a kid.
Speaker 2:But did you, took the long route. You ain't go crash out at a club and just keep doing it.
Speaker 1:No, I didn't. I didn't do that. What happened was actually got jealous and I'm not even a jealous person. I saw other DJs that started to grow when we were learning together and that's one of my. My best attributes about me is like when I get mad, I Get nasty and I and I dig deep and I push and that's what happened. I was like fuck this shit, fucking DJ.
Speaker 2:Does is producing is. Since you come from the producer background, is that easier to go into DJ? Because you already know what the records supposed to sound like, how you can mix and match them?
Speaker 1:No, I just think it gives you extra edge as a DJ. You know, I'm saying like I still think producing and DJing is different, because as a DJ, you playing for what people want to hear right, you're not playing for what you want to hear, and when you produce, and you produce and beast us to you, that's in your heart. So, no, I don't think so. I think that you could be either, or some could be both, and some of the best DJs are producers at heart. Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:So I think that that's how it works out, yeah so you saying right now in front of the world Honey, you have never bombed, ever.
Speaker 1:That's a fucking Louis worst bomb oh. Man, I Remember when I first started DJing. I was DJing at some little hole in the wall and West Philly, uh, and I don't know what happened, but I think the music kept cut out and Philly is.
Speaker 1:Tom proud of, if you not for Philly, never been to Philly One thing about Philly and I love my city is that they don't play about, they DJs. We the home of Jazzy Jeff, so like the DJs are like top tier, okay, you can't bomb in Philly and we think everything funny. I Don't know what happened. I think the music cutoff, I think I hit something, knocked the cord out or something, and people in the club kill the DJ, kill the DJ. And everybody in the clubs are saying kill the DJ.
Speaker 2:What did you do?
Speaker 1:I just had our cut the music back on. They start dancing. That's all you can do just keep going, that's all you can do. I ain't got pooties my fucking long. You kill a DJ.
Speaker 2:So it's the goal right now. Right, you're out. From what the people have told me and from what I found about you, you were saying before the cameras roll you don't even consider yourself like a celebrity yet. No how not?
Speaker 1:You know, I actually been having like some revelations within myself that I need to learn how to start bragging on myself, because when people start talking about my accolades, right, I'm like damn, actually, something important just happened when I was in Boston, right?
Speaker 2:damn Boston.
Speaker 1:Yeah, sorry, boston, y'all know what y'all gonna agree with me. Y'all tell me the same thing. Um, I was in a car and I was listening to Four-year leisure, that podcast, what I'm gonna had, did a episode with Diddy and the tagline said Diddy in lawsuit with Diageo. And.
Speaker 2:I'm like what we just talking about the uh, the DJ right, the larger. What is the name?
Speaker 1:I remember I'm about to tell you I was like Diage. I'm like, wait a minute. This word looks familiar but I always pronounced it like Diego or some shit Right. And it hit me as I'm in the car and I actually got emotional. I was like yo. For three years I've been sponsored by the largest liquor marketing company In the world and I didn't know please explain, now that you didn't make my mind click on, who these people are.
Speaker 2:Tell the people who they are, because if you don't know them, you have tasted their liquor for a fact.
Speaker 1:They own deli on. Well, Diddy is part owners in it. But you know Diddy started to rock with them because they wanted a vodka to push. So he said he'll get behind it.
Speaker 2:And it's Diddy.
Speaker 1:Uh-huh, he'll get behind it and push it. But he had made terms and saying like, if I push this for y'all, y'all got to give me something that's my own. And, um, and that's what he did and that's the situation that's happening, that he got some stuff going on with Deli on that he's doing them, or whatever.
Speaker 2:But I literally was just like oh my god you didn't know who one of your biggest sponsors were.
Speaker 1:Who do your contracts? No, so what happened is is that my relationship with Diage was still a friend. Okay so when I really sat down and really thought about it, because Diageo sponsors my um, my DC black pride boat that I do every year. Okay, talk to me and see, just and I was begging him for years because I knew he worked with the liquor companies. I ain't no number sponsorship, I'm like give me sponsored. No, I don't know what that really means right and he got me sponsored.
Speaker 1:So for the past three years they've been sponsoring the boat and other events and stuff like that right. And I had to remember I'm like damn, when I signed this contract it said Diageo right. And it like it literally blew my mind because my relationship with them is through my friend, so it wasn't like a professional when I sent the email trying to seek sponsorship so and that told me that in order for me to get that sponsorship, that means sold me. Yeah.
Speaker 1:He couldn't sell himself. He had to sell you sold me, showed them my, my social media, showed them the things that I've done and order some media.
Speaker 2:That's a good ass friend.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:And he did this without your knowledge.
Speaker 1:No, i'ma say yes, cause I think that after he sold me to them, he came to me. He said hey, I got a situation for you. Dc Black Pride, let's do a boat. You know, syroc is gonna sponsor it. And I was like yay.
Speaker 2:You wanna ask no questions? Fuck, no, let's do a boat. Syroc is gonna sponsor it. Eva, you are so accustomed to having these big names that's just like, oh, why.
Speaker 1:No, I trusted my friend.
Speaker 2:Oh God.
Speaker 1:I trusted my friend. So if this is what my friend telling me that he's doing and I've already seen his track record- of previous events, because we worked together on other things. There was nothing that I had to question. If this is what he says is gonna happen, then that's what's gonna happen. I'ma put the logo on it, put the disclaimer on it. Hey y'all, we got a buck, buck, buck.
Speaker 2:Spark, buck, buck, buck, let's go. The Black people are coming.
Speaker 1:Right. So before I even understood who Diageo was, I already been sponsored by them. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:So you found out he was beefing with your company.
Speaker 1:I ain't got nothing to do with that.
Speaker 2:You really don't. Stay with Steve, stay with nobody.
Speaker 1:I don't got nothing to do with that, diddy, I love you and I appreciate everything that you're doing.
Speaker 2:I don't got nothing to do with that. So you mind your business, I do. We were talking earlier with you doing the boats and the prides, and I've seen what your parties that you DJ at look like. How does you go about? Hey, I wanna get a manager. I don't like. How does the breakdown work? Cause we know how it works with artists you gotta give some type of percentage, you being a DJ. How does it work having a manager.
Speaker 1:They put their feet on top of what they book for me. A lot of my book has come through me because I'm a control freak and I've literally. I've literally, like, built my brand from nothing, so to allow someone to come in and start trying to tell me what to do? No, that's the hardest part. I actually have, like this ongoing argument with my manager. It's been. I think she tried to quit on me twice because I'm a control freak.
Speaker 2:You don't let the manager manage.
Speaker 1:No, I'm getting better. I'm honestly, I'm honestly getting better.
Speaker 2:But you were saying you've had this in your hands for so long to just let it go. It just know that it's gonna come back without your hand in it. It's hard for you.
Speaker 1:It is because a lot of my business I build relationships with my clients. So to have somebody come in to be that middle person, sometimes I feel like they not gonna have the same finesse as me. Because I'm nice, I'm engaging, I care, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:I check on you outside of business because I understand how the business is and how it could just suck you and you're around so many like negative people. So the relationships that I have with people, I like to build those relationships with people because in the respect level change. It don't just treat you just like any other person type of situation.
Speaker 2:Was it or is it hard being a female DJ?
Speaker 1:Absolutely.
Speaker 2:What's the tribulations behind this?
Speaker 1:I mean you got the boys club. The other thing is that because, like as female DJs, we're always surrounded by 99% men Right Nine times out of 10. You we actually like it's this thing called a DJ ego, Kind of like a God comp.
Speaker 2:Okay, tell me what that is. Go ahead.
Speaker 1:DJs get this sense of being like God complexes because they control people moves and it contributes to an ego right, especially when you kill in the party like I killed that bitch right. Did you feel good? Because you did that. And you do it all the time it starts to develop into an ego. So that's why you see so many DJs with like nasty attitudes and stuff like that.
Speaker 1:So, what happens is with the females. We kind of pick that ego up. But you have to have some type of ego to be a DJ, because you have to be confident in your DJing, because it shows Like if you're not confident it shows in how you play. So but the problem is that the issues is that a lot of the female DJs be mean girls, like they don't be like sister, sister type of thing. If you like a lot of jealousy, a lot of insecurities and then with like the men they be lying on you, talk about some, I hit it.
Speaker 2:That's in the DJ world too.
Speaker 1:Just because we use turntables don't mean that the dynamic change. So you know, or like some people don't want to give you certain opportunities because you're not giving them none. Like it happens, I just say whatever and I just do my own thing.
Speaker 2:You competitive, am I competitive.
Speaker 1:You know what I'ma say?
Speaker 2:no, you don't know who she was talking to behind the camera. We're going to interject with her a couple of seconds.
Speaker 1:I'm not going to say I'm competitive, but don't play in my face.
Speaker 2:Here come that book, the Fulfillyship, here Come.
Speaker 1:Don't play in my face Like if I get mad. That's when the silly come out.
Speaker 2:Already hit an accent Uh huh.
Speaker 1:Don't play in my face, don't play me like I'm stupid, like don't insult my intelligence or what I do. So that's when the ego really come out, and I'll just like bust out with some bomb, ass shit. You like I can't keep this bitch down, like I've been blacklisted before and people who have you fucked?
Speaker 2:What happened? You just say I'm nice, I'm respectable.
Speaker 1:I think it is because people don't know me, so people draw this conclusion about me. You know I don't really get on social media to talk about my personal life. I don't do the personal thing. People might think they see it, but they really, really don't. So they draw it Listen. Social media is a form of entertainment.
Speaker 2:Come on, this is a woman saying this right now.
Speaker 1:Social media is a form of entertainment. Oh God. It does not mean that I have to divulge everything that I have going on in my life on the social media, and that's because I'm a nerd at heart and I've been on the internet since. You've got mail.
Speaker 2:Listen, we remember when it first kicked off.
Speaker 1:Yes, so when everybody was just getting adapted to the internet and cell phones, I already been doing it. So I never felt the need to divulge everything. I'm like oh look what I'm eating. I remember I used to think that was weird. We used to talk about that like why don't we scroll in and we see you play the food.
Speaker 2:Pictures of food Instagram first game. Now everybody does it. Yes.
Speaker 1:So I've just never been that person. I think the most personable people have ever really seen me on social media was last night.
Speaker 2:Why last night what happened?
Speaker 1:Last night. That's when I started my podcast for Cuffin Season.
Speaker 2:Yes, speaking of Cuffin Season, I did not know what was going on. I'm going to. If you're watching, you're going to see the display here. Right, it was called because I was in the room. Cuffin Season LGBTQ, episode one. What made you even want to do this?
Speaker 1:Well, specifically in the lesbian community, women are not even specifically, I mean even with you know, heterosexual women always look going to be in a relationship, and it's like magnified, with lesbians Is it what?
Speaker 2:Coming from a male's perspective, it seems like it's easier to just go get a woman, especially if you're already women. Is this not that simple?
Speaker 1:No, how I mean, once you get them, then you got them, you know, but as far as finding that person that's for you, no, it's not easy.
Speaker 2:Is it difficult? I'm going to ask what it means. Is it more difficult finding a woman as your person or as a male as your person?
Speaker 1:Explain that.
Speaker 2:Is it easier to find a male you connect with or is it easier for you personally to find a woman that you can't connect with?
Speaker 1:Are you asking me like in my bisexual? I'm just trying to make sure I understand. You're learning a question.
Speaker 2:You used to date men. Right, I did Right, and now you got your whole little situation we're going to talk about. So what you coming in from that? It wasn't easier for you to just talk, to have conversations with a woman?
Speaker 1:It wasn't about easy.
Speaker 2:What was it about?
Speaker 1:It was about just what I wanted. It was about my preference, or you know like. I mean, if you want me to get my opinion, which one is easier or not? I mean, I think that men go into a space of where they tell girls what they want to hear. Okay, okay. Whereas I'm not saying that You're not wrong. Okay.
Speaker 1:And they do that to a fault and they get caught up a lot. Whereas with women and that mainly surrounds like relationship status, right. Whereas with women you meet another girl, not to mention that you all both want to be in a relationship and what happens in their relationship, that's a whole nother story. But it's easier to create a relationship with a woman than it is with a man, because they play a lot of games and they don't have to.
Speaker 2:We said women do not play games. I didn't say that, ooh, I didn't say that that's what you're saying right now, honey.
Speaker 1:I'm saying in regards to being in a committed relationship. Men play way more games than women.
Speaker 2:You staying on that. So no, no, no, because it's something in the background and I need to know Because you simply told us a few minutes ago you are about business and your page is mostly about business. I was on your page, okay Right, and as I scrolled I was like, oh, this is really businessy. And then I got to that middle portion. It's a woman here that has that middle portion. Miss business lady, you post your woman, I do. Your trips, your love, I do. What happened to separate? What happened to that?
Speaker 1:So I post my woman out of being proud that she's my woman. I don't post her in regards to likes and views. You understand what I'm saying. So me posting her is like, yeah, this is mine, this is what we do. Like we having a good time. It is not to seek input or care about what the world has to say, because, as much as we might say that we don't need to prove our love, I don't think there's anything wrong with showing. Right Showing it.
Speaker 1:So the forms of affection that you do see. I don't think that there's no way that I could really be in a relationship with someone in this day and age and not post them, Unless we both agreed on that. But I think that about 99% of the time, you don't post me and you a DJ. Thank you, Thank you for saying that.
Speaker 2:I don't know how y'all relationship worked out. Was that a conversation that you were like, or she was like hey, I need you to at least show me a little bit. Nah, this is all you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I did it on my own terms, oh. God it was never a conversation. That conversation didn't exist between us. Oh shit, it didn't exist. We dated for a while and then, when I was ready to show her to the world, I posted her without her knowledge. Yeah, you.
Speaker 2:Uh-huh, actual forgiveness, not permission, all right.
Speaker 1:I posted her, and that's pretty much how that happened.
Speaker 2:I mean I posted her first. You know, damn, that's crazy. Listen, she got a woman, has her own little business of her own, so it's definitely two moguls. That's talking right now. So in the hot seat that I'm gonna put you in how long you been with your lady.
Speaker 1:Actually yesterday, two years ago was when she slid in my DM, she slid in the DM, she slid in my DM y'all.
Speaker 2:Did she even know you liked the girls?
Speaker 1:Yeah. She did her research. She made sure.
Speaker 2:Okay, was it a good slide? Yeah, do you remember what it was? I do.
Speaker 1:We talk about it.
Speaker 2:What did she say to you?
Speaker 1:I was hosting a party in Philly for our fest weekend and I had some friends in town from Atlanta, right, and one of the girls she was feminine, oh yeah, and she was dancing on me, oh yeah, and I was in the camera, like you see me, right, right, I had this message pop up on my screen from my other DM, right Requested to send you a message. Yeah. I'm fucking this Because that's how I am.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm a request box.
Speaker 1:And I opened it and it said tell her. I said backup.
Speaker 2:I said what the fuck Real DC shit.
Speaker 1:Right, I said what the fuck? I said who is this? My dry head except? Yet? Right. I go to her page I said, damn she, fine as heck she wants me. Yeah, lady. Then I went back to her message and I was like I'm going to make a move Because I opened it immediately when she sent it. She said I'm not about to respond.
Speaker 2:That's type-stealing.
Speaker 1:I was like I'm going to wait. I need to figure out what I'm going to say. Ok, I'm going to be sexy, it took me about four or five hours and I responded. I said, well, if you tell me, nicely, maybe I will. And she responded and was like, well, can you pretty please tell her to back the fuck up.
Speaker 2:And it started from there.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, no, she ignored me for two weeks after that. Damn. It was two weeks. It was two weeks.
Speaker 2:And y'all been together how long now.
Speaker 1:Pretty much ever since then.
Speaker 2:How long? Yeah, two years Right now, with your lady sitting right in front of us. This is all on you, you in love.
Speaker 1:Absolutely.
Speaker 2:Ooh, no hesitation in the voice. How'd you know? How did I know? How'd you know?
Speaker 1:She a boss, y'all OK. She's a boss Like. She has a beautiful mind and she's a beautiful person. She's God-fearing. We pray together.
Speaker 2:She gonna let this shit. She gonna let this shit right here.
Speaker 1:Somebody hit me oh yeah, no, but I'm serious Like one of the things that I admired the most was that she was God-fearing, and it wasn't even the fact that we had to share the same spiritual beliefs because I'm not as spiritual as she is, but that told me that she has some type of foundation of value and respect. So that's what did it for me. She's a beautiful person. She has a beautiful family. You know, she's really nice. She's a hustler I can't date.
Speaker 2:I got that off the first five minutes of talking.
Speaker 1:Uh-huh, because she's like hold on now, baby, hold on now, shout it, shout it. Yeah, ha, ha, ha. Now this is what we're finna do. Ok, All right, now, watch Boom.
Speaker 2:So, with you having your person and you have so many business ventures, we're gonna swing it back. What is the goal for the cuffing season? Are you trying to match people? Love.
Speaker 1:Hell, no, oh, the problem is that most people in the LGBTQ community go to events to find someone right. However, it's getting cold and you know how cuffing season goes. Yeah, you don't really want to go out. The kids just went back to school. You got the holidays coming, stuff like that. I saw a platform Kendra G, that she does live, singles live when she had people come on introduce herself and stuff like that. I said, oh, you know what we need, that. We need something like that.
Speaker 1:So listen, I'm not a matchmaking service. Y'all Don't DM me, tell me to hook y'all up with nobody.
Speaker 2:That's not what I seen it at Goddamn Live, though.
Speaker 1:Hold on. No, the platform is to provide a space for eligible singles to showcase that they're single and get the word out that they're single, and maybe that person will slide in a DM, as mine did. Right, she took a leap.
Speaker 2:She took a leap. You was a DM slider.
Speaker 1:Right, she took a leap. She didn't know if I was single, she didn't know if that girl was in.
Speaker 2:She was DC. She ain't give a damn about none of that.
Speaker 1:I'm just saying but now you have a space to where, as though I'm saying like, hey, I'm letting you know that this person is single, and even if you got a crush on somebody and you want to know, I take it upon myself to say, let me go hit them up and see if they come on a live. But as far as outside of the live, leave me out of it. Unless it's a beautiful relationship, leave me out of it. Leave me out of it.
Speaker 2:I seen you during the Kiki Palmer situation. Yeah. How was that? You rocked that bitch.
Speaker 1:That was the first video I seen.
Speaker 2:I was like this four slides, please don't disappoint. I was like oh shit, oh shit, fucking this up honey. I was like yeah, so how did that whole?
Speaker 1:thing come about. So I'm also a party promoter, so I do events.
Speaker 2:Is that DC Honey events?
Speaker 1:It's party with Honey. Yeah, so I do events in Philly and in DC and what happened was in those times, like sometimes I'll book artists, so I had built a relationship with her tour manager, so he hit me up.
Speaker 2:You still don't think you got the juice. Yeah, ok, ok yeah.
Speaker 1:As much as like it's really not that hard to get in contact with these people, right, because they hustling just like I'm hustling.
Speaker 2:So if you trying to book somebody, you got the money, ok, ok, that's it.
Speaker 1:It's really not nothing like crazy. So what happened is that he always hit me up and tell me when he got people that's going to be in town or whatever, and if I can't do something I'll allie up to somebody else.
Speaker 1:Like, hey, this person is going to be in town. You want it? I'm going to shoot the contact. In this particular case, he was telling me that Kiki was on tour, and he told me the day that she was going to be in certain states and sent me to roster. I was like, oh well, Philly, I'm not going to be there. You know, I was planning actually to take a vacation for myself.
Speaker 2:And.
Speaker 1:Philly Out of the country. Oh God, I was telling him the day that Kiki was going to be there. I was going to be there. Because, he was hitting me up the booker for the evening to host a party and I was like, well, I'm not going to be there. And he was like, well, we might need a DJ. I said, well, I guess I'm going to cancel my goddamn trip. And that's pretty much how that happened.
Speaker 2:Is it a point to where you weigh out if the artist is big enough for you to cancel what you got going on?
Speaker 1:To be honest, I never wanted to be an artist. Dj.
Speaker 2:Get the fuck out of here. What do you mean? What do you mean? The rolling louds, all of that? That doesn't interest you.
Speaker 1:All right, I'm going to be honest. All right, y'all pay attention and I'm going to say this real fast Tour DJs don't get paid a lot of money.
Speaker 2:In the hope.
Speaker 1:Unless you're established.
Speaker 2:OK, all right, now you're talking right.
Speaker 1:Right. And I'm saying I get paid more money to do corporate events. You understand it's two different pay scales. I'm not saying tour DJs don't get paid. I'm saying, compared to the money that I made when I was with the Ace Convention or when I was in Boston, I would never get that as a tour DJ. And you got to think about it. Let's say let's, let's be generous. You get paid $1,000 a show. That sounds like a good goddamn time 15 minutes to open up for your artist $1,000 to eat the money.
Speaker 1:Right, when you think about, when you think about you might got a show on Wednesday, then you don't got a show till Sunday or Saturday and you on tour, and then you probably don't got another show for like another week or two and you on tour and you moving the money that you accumulate while you on tour. You could have made more money at home, is what I'm saying. So that's why I never wanted to, but then I got this friend. She's a videographer and photographer.
Speaker 2:So your friend group, some fire motherfuckers the story before you even about to go when you say I got this friend. It's about to be some shit with these friends, so go ahead, you got this friend.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So I got this friend she a videographer and videographer and she works with young E-Class out of DC and she been trying to get me to DJ with him for a while. So at one point in time he wasn't touring, he had did some stuff with DTLR and I was like you know what? I'm a dip in it, I'm a see what's up. My first show I did amazing right, but I was so scared because I'm like critical and I'm like I don't understand what this format is Like. I know how to rock a party, but how do I open up for artists? It's pretty much the same, but I still was unfamiliar. Actually, the dude that he was opening for his DJ was dope. He was really nice to me from Baltimore. I forget his name.
Speaker 1:He was really nice to me. He was, like you, ready to rock out. I'm like you know, bitch yeah, I'm ready. Yeah, I was standing in the middle, of my head was down the whole time, but I turned the crowd up for him so that could get hype for him. So that just kind of gave me the platform for Kiki. So, mind you, kiki Palmer was my second show that I did for an artist.
Speaker 2:Oh, so you really prefer not to do artists?
Speaker 1:I'm not going to say I prefer not to like that. I'm going to say I never went in that lane. I never went in that lane. So when I did something for E-Class and then I got hit with Kiki Palmer, I'm just like all right, you know what Cool. And I sat at home I got my set together. They told me that and I literally barely had any information about what was happening. I just knew I was DJing for an hour and that was it. And I was just like I'm going to sit at home and get this set together. I even like played it and recorded it and like taught myself and put it all together, took some music out, put some in, and I was like, oh no, this is going to be good. So I actually like prepared my set for that show, unbeknownst to me, I was the opener. Kiki did not have an artist before her, so I was the opening talent.
Speaker 2:Surprise, surprise Boom, you were the artist.
Speaker 1:I was in the middle of the stage I was like, yeah, honey, you're going to be right here. I was like, is she going to be doing soundcheck and everything? I was like she's going to have an artist that was like you, the opener yeah she is you I was like damn.
Speaker 2:Okay, you talked about. You grew up in failure, so you raised my parents, grandmothers, my mom raised me.
Speaker 1:I did sometime in Baltimore, in Owens Mills, with my dad throughout my teenage years.
Speaker 2:Are they proud of you?
Speaker 1:I don't know about my dad, but my mother is.
Speaker 2:How was it? Do you remember when you came to our show?
Speaker 1:Of course I was like I'm going to come to my birthday parties and drop it down and get low. I had to ban her. I had to ban her. Oh, yeah, she went all out. Oh yeah, my mom is a time baby.
Speaker 2:Are you proud of yourself?
Speaker 1:I am. It's like every time I get to a place where I'm proud of myself and make me want to work harder. What's next? What's the next thing I'm doing?
Speaker 2:Was that a goal right? When you first started this DJing, you was like I want to be the best DJ in Philly and that's the goal, and then we'll go to the next. You have a goal. I'm a DJ, but why am I a DJing?
Speaker 1:Honestly, I started DJing out of struggle.
Speaker 2:What do you?
Speaker 1:mean I was homeless. I had just moved back to Philly and I was in a situation where I got out of a relationship with someone. And I had got out of a relationship, I had moved back from Detroit and all I had was a trash bag of clothes, a blowup bed and my DJ equipment my MacBook.
Speaker 1:And I was like you know what? Fuck it? I'm a DJ. And it was this one dude, dj Q, from Philly. He used to reach out to me every few months like, honey, you should come to the cafe. It's pretty much like a place where DJs go to gather, talk shit, spend records, do creative things. You should come out, like yo, it's really a good time. I was just like no, no, no, I'm not really DJing right now.
Speaker 2:And this is when you was homeless.
Speaker 1:And he told me to come. And what happened was I ended up borrowing money for a room and then I had got a job and I had a, so I had moved in and I was like you know why I'm a cum. And that night honestly changed my life. I remember a DJ, j Rock, came up to me. He was just like honey, you're going to go far, just stay humble. And I promised myself that I will always stay humble. So DJing came out of struggle. I was like you know what fine, I'm just, I'm just DJ.
Speaker 2:So you were in Detroit, became homeless then and then came back to Philly. How long you homeless for?
Speaker 1:Wasn't that goddamn long, wasn't that long.
Speaker 2:Like a day, two days.
Speaker 1:I mean in between the time that I left Detroit and came back home, probably like a day or so, because I had already had I still I'm still from Philly. So I had called somebody I knew that had a room in house or whatever in like a real bougie neighborhood in Philly and I had asked her if she had any rooms. And I called an old boss and I was like I'm really struggling right now. You got anything for me to do. I made that phone call in one day.
Speaker 2:How long would you consider yourself an entrepreneur right now, yeah, what was the last thing? You had a regular job.
Speaker 1:I actually just left my job. I was an engineer at Comcast.
Speaker 2:I've met many of people. Many of these people don't understand what you see on social media. You on the boats, you in the out of the country with your lady, you with Kiki Palmer, you doing this, that and the third. And you got a regular fucking job. Okay, I'm gonna ask why you're at home. Okay, why, why do you have a regular job?
Speaker 1:Let me tell y'all something now In this business, if you want to do anything in regards to building your brand, paying for things you need to have a job to fund that.
Speaker 2:But they would say what you're doing right now, djing for such and such, going here, wouldn't that pay for your day to day life?
Speaker 1:It doesn't, okay. So DJing pays the bills, right, right, but it doesn't fund everything else. It doesn't fund new equipment if it break. It doesn't fund a new laptop. It doesn't fund if I want to go on a trip because I'm stressed out, because I'm tired.
Speaker 1:You still need something to fund your dream. So, these people out here, whether they are artists, djs, producers, any form of entertainment, you need some type of source of income to fund what it is that you're doing, so that you can fund your brand. So I'm not shy to say I still work a nine to five. I'm going to work a nine to five. That makes sense for what I do, so and I do well. But you need to fund that. Djing can't. I could DJ, but they got to go to the bills. I can't go get my hair done for 300. And you talking about something like every two weeks. The struggle be real. Struggling artists it really happens. But you don't have to struggle if you just go get a goddamn job, because now sometimes I have to tell you whatever it is that you're doing, you're doing it at night time. Just go pick up something in the morning. Fund your dream.
Speaker 2:Being with you today. It is so hard to look at you and see a shirt with Comcast on it. Oh yeah, you are clearly pretty and it's just like, okay, it didn't add night on your whole separate life. You out here with celebrities on boats just doing your thing, you people know, at your job.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I also kept that a secret too.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Because it pretty much become a demise, because in corporate America they want you to be all about them. Yes. They don't want to see you doing anything else outside of that. So, like my boss knew and then like little, I tried to keep them separate because that will start to become a thing. If they just think you just some regular stupid girl, they don't care. The moment they find out you're doing something else, they go whoa.
Speaker 2:Where did this hustle come from? You got this from somewhere.
Speaker 1:My mother, my mother, my mother taught me, my mother taught me that I have to be responsible for myself.
Speaker 2:Is it just you? You don't shout how many of you.
Speaker 1:I have three other siblings. Okay, they're all nine and 10 years older than me.
Speaker 2:Okay, so you're the baby, okay. Yeah. So your mom pretty much said you have to rely on you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I remember I was 16. I think I wanted to go get like my license or something and I was like mommy, I need my personal certificate and Social Security card. She said here to address Go get the fuck on the bus, go get it yourself.
Speaker 2:Listen. Now we're in the age of gentle parenting.
Speaker 1:Back then it wasn't gentle, your sister 90s was not gentle early 2000s.
Speaker 2:You had to get it. If you wanted it, you got to go get it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you got to go get it yourself, you could get it, you could. My mom thing was like you go out here and hang out with your friends. You could go here and take care of your business. So that's more or less what that was Like you could make time to do all the things that you want to do. Then you need to make time to take care of your business. So I was a kid going to get my Social.
Speaker 1:Security card, my birth certificate and taking care of the things that I needed to whether it be doctor's appointments and stuff like that Once I got of age, to be able to travel on my own. My mom was like you do it, and you know what, in this day and age, most parents won't do that, but I love that, my mother did that because as I got older and I started to get around people, I'm like what the fuck raised?
Speaker 2:you, you notice it fast when you go out with people.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you need to grow up. You know what I'm saying. So it's like I've been on my own. I actually left home when I was 16. I was 15. So I just had to figure it out. So when people don't have that innate instinct to figure it out, I'd be annoyed. I'll let you two over this. How old are you? 34.
Speaker 2:Do you want kids?
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:Never wanted kids.
Speaker 1:I think I entertain the idea, but I don't want kids.
Speaker 2:Okay, so you said that you pretty much work in the nightlife. That's your area nightlife right.
Speaker 1:Not necessarily.
Speaker 2:If you're having a lady. Do you think at a certain point it's going to become a part to where you are always out? Your business is to be in the public. Is that ever going to become an issue? That's what I do. I'm out, I'm in the clubs. You're a party, pretty much. Will that ever become an issue?
Speaker 1:I don't think so, because after two years if it ain't an issue now, there's probably never going to be an issue. We don't even have them, kind of conversations because she understands. She's also accustomed to people in her circle that live their lifestyle. You know, what I'm saying. She has a lot of close friends that are in entertainment, so that's not even a discussion between us. It's more or less whether or not she's going to go or not. She'll pick and choose what she attends, but for the most part that's not an issue.
Speaker 2:You said she got you something, I believe you said for Valentine's Day. Yeah, what was it that she got you for Valentine's?
Speaker 1:Day she got me the papers to trademark my name, DJ Honey.
Speaker 2:Did you ever think about trademarking your name?
Speaker 1:Yeah, she knew that.
Speaker 2:So you've been DJ Honey this whole time and never trading margin. You know struggling artist you was ready for somebody to snatch your name up.
Speaker 1:Listen, struggling artist, you don't have $500 to pay for a trademark, let alone the domains and the LLCs and all that other stuff. You don't have that extra money, so I wasn't really in a position to be able to pay for it. And you also think, you know, I think about it and I forget about it. Think about it and I forget about it, and then I see people popping up with these. I'm like I got that name and then boom she, she showed up with the paperwork.
Speaker 2:Real ball shit over there, lady. Right now you got everything going on. Where do you want? You want to get into radio, like, where do you? What's next? What do you want? You want to be a quick silver Like what is it? Whatever new are you trying to get to?
Speaker 1:To be honest, I actually love what I do now. Um, so I'm going to tell you I'm successful because I created my own lane and when you start to talk about those other avenues, they're crowded, they're crowded. I do a really good job at as my manager would say, spreading the honey.
Speaker 1:So whether I'm here, right whether I'm here, I'm in Atlanta, I'm in New York, you know DJ in all these different places. I don't feel the need to have to want to go into radio. Radio would be nice, you know. I think I have a voice for it. Um, I'm honestly trying to transition out of DJing a little bit. I'm trying to be more in front of the camera with a personality. Oh come on.
Speaker 2:Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. It seemed like you had. You had a build up, used to dance right, then produced records, then DJ. Now you're telling me you want to be fuck. All that. Now I want to get in front of the camera.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was the part of the reason about the podcast.
Speaker 2:So like when you say in front of the camera you talk about like having your own show, Like what you, what you thinking.
Speaker 1:Yeah, um, whether it be my own show, whether I'm making appearances and stuff like that, I really want to get into like speaking and like helping people Like motivation, yeah, like motivational speaking, what? The people that are unclear about how to, how to? Obtain their dreams and stuff like that, you know, because I think there's there's a lot of people out here who need that.
Speaker 2:So if you're going to do that, there's normal questions going to come. What did you have to go through to actually build you, to have to get to this point? What was your struggle to get here?
Speaker 1:I mean, I've been a victim of DV, domestic violence, right, I've been blacklisted as a DJ. I've I've had so many situations where the people closest to me would talk down about me, try to kill my spirits, and I always found the motivation to keep going and I think that everybody needs to know that because, listen, I'm from North Philly, I'm from 24th of summer set AKA, southeast, aka, east Baltimore, okay, right, okay. So I'm from that, I come from that. Like I'm from that. So I'm saying, like, if I can do it, you can do it too, and I've, and I've built a comfortable life. I don't take no shit from nobody. You know what I'm saying. Like, as soon as people start doing that little weird industry shit, I just do.
Speaker 2:So you don't want to play the game.
Speaker 1:It's a game. You don't want to play the game. I play the game and I think I played it very well, okay. I played a game.
Speaker 2:Get somebody some industry secrets, honey. Come on now.
Speaker 1:Listen, the key is is that don't take nothing personal. Mmm.
Speaker 2:Nothing, don't hit it with that business as business.
Speaker 1:No, hold on. You don't take anything personal. You just keep doing whatever it is that you want to do. People give you weird energy, whether it be because they're insecure about their own progress or they just don't like you, and that's going to happen. But you can't let that like disrupt you. I'm I'm in space where I could not fuck with you Right, right, personally, but I'm going to still say hey, how you doing you good, how's your family?
Speaker 2:Ain't that called phony? Now you're lying to work Now.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Now, okay, let's say, let's make it a difference here and regular life that's phony is how I'm not going to do that in real life, but if we on a business, tip on a business.
Speaker 1:Hey, how are you, how are you doing?
Speaker 2:I could hate the fuck out of you, but business wise, you make sense for the business. So I'm going to act in kind, but once that's all the way, I go back to it.
Speaker 1:Yes, fucking weird. I walk away from fucking weird. Fucking nut, right. Fucking weird. You know what I'm saying and, honestly, when I do that, it's genuine, because that's who I am. I'm literally saying hey, you okay, like you good, because I'm the type of person I'm going to kill you with niceness. You don't have a reason not to like me. Whatever it is that you don't like about me, they got everything to do with you and how you view yourself, because I ain't do shit, what's?
Speaker 2:your sign.
Speaker 1:Aries.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:I didn't.
Speaker 2:How I hit it.
Speaker 1:Aries you nice until you're not, you know, I'm actually nice all the time, but it's just people do weird shit and I just move the fuck away Like okay, you're being weird, let me go over here.
Speaker 2:So you want to sit here and tell me, being in this business for as long as you've been in it, you never crossed nobody, Didn't know where, shit of your own that someone could say, hey listen, you fucked me over up here and as an adult you could be like you know what. I might have been wrong for that.
Speaker 1:Probably, but if I was wrong I would say I was. I apologize. Probably in that moment I didn't see it that way. But as far as business, I don't know, because I respect people's space.
Speaker 1:I respect people's lanes and what they do, like I'm not the DJ that I'm cool with another DJ. I'm about to roll up into your spot and they see DJ Honey and they're like oh honey, we need to book you. Tell me what your schedule is. I'm like I'm not doing it. This is they home. I'm not about to come up in a home and ransack everything that they doing.
Speaker 2:Is that unspoken rule in the DJ community? Yeah. So if I had a DJ like Bass Pro Shops over here, I'm in hot spot and then you come in Unspoken rule you can't take business from me. Correct. Oh.
Speaker 1:Unspoken. Unless that, that rule only. Well, no, it applies to whether you know them or not. But it's like you don't walk up into another DJ spot trying to take day night saying, oh, I could rock better than them. I don't know why you got them. I've had that happen to me, right.
Speaker 2:Is it from a male artist? Male DJ.
Speaker 1:No, it was a girl.
Speaker 2:Are you better than her? We ain't even say her name. Are you better than her?
Speaker 1:Actually she's a very talented DJ, so I would never take that from her. I think that how she moved in that particular situation, when you say media train people.
Speaker 2:I'm not People.
Speaker 1:She said she is very talented, no, she is and honestly, that has nothing to do with being media trained, because I'm really not. She actually is a very talented DJ. I respect everything that she does. I think that how she moved in that particular situation was foul, and people in the industry talk. You never realize how small that circle is until you really end it.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying. So I think that how you carry a situation is going to speak volumes for how people are going to treat you in the business. Nicki Minaj said it best, and I don't even care for Nicki, but I don't like the stuff she's doing. But let me say this she said it best, she said and I say it all the time Nicki Minaj said 90% of the business is the business, the 10% is all the other shit. And it's true, you can have talent, but if you handle your business wrong you're not going to get no business.
Speaker 1:So, in regards to like DJs going into other spots, the respectful thing to do is to welcome to the DJ and I mean you got a night you could share. Like I really like what you got going on. That's the respectful thing to do. But some people will try to go around the DJ not knowing what kind of relationship the DJ got with the owner, and then really get you banned, like you just never know who told you stepping on Like I'm not a fan of stepping on nobody's toes- so how'd you know you was blacklisted?
Speaker 1:I ain't got damn bookings. That's how the fuck I knew.
Speaker 2:But what made you knew you was blacklisted, because that could have been like oh, I just didn't get it. What part did you knew, when someone told you like hey, you're not getting it, because you ain't getting it?
Speaker 1:Nobody had to tell me nothing. I knew that certain things had happened and certain things had transpired, and I was blacklisted five years.
Speaker 2:People listen, listen. She says she's not media trained. I didn't ask for this three different ways, from the beginning to the part right here. You're never going to say what happened that got you blacklisted.
Speaker 1:No, because that's that's. That's what under the bridge. I was with those relationships.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:So it would be petty of me to bring that up and put that on a podcast, like what happened happened I like that. You know what I'm saying. Like and I respect them because we had a conversation about it and that's what I like about my relationships that I have with people. We have honest conversations. That's why I told you you know earlier that my relationships with my clients mean everything to me, because those are people who keep food in my mouth.
Speaker 2:Well, listen, hold on, because talking to this lady, they made me forget. She said business, business. Let's go to the sponsors.

Speaker 2:You got to give in to your secrets because I can't have you up here not giving gang. How do you, as a DJ, go about getting these sponsors Relationships?
Speaker 1:This is a relationship based business. You figure out who you need to know and who you need to get in front of. Mm, hmm. It ain't like a fucking spreadsheet. You know what I'm saying. Like, this is who. You figure out what brands you want to be aligned with and you put yourself in those rooms. You don't get in those rooms while sitting at home watching what everybody else do. You have to figure out where they at you got to hit the ground.
Speaker 2:No, I'm not letting you get off like that though, because that's easy. That's easy for me to go on Instagram and see all right, sirach is over here, crown Royals over here. What did you do to get there?
Speaker 1:They want to know how you got in the room, the dude on four year leisure. He said stop looking up, look to your left. That's what he said. So instead of me looking at what Sirach doing, I'm looking at the people in my city who I'm around with they doing, what parties they at?
Speaker 1:Like, why do you need to be friends with them? Let me go. Hey, what's up? Oh, you DJ honey. Yeah, girl, what's up? Girl, we need to hang out these relationships. It's really relationships, and sometimes even with my talent. My talent honestly puts me in a lot of rooms too. So you know, I actually had an episode of like FOMO this weekend when I was in Boston because I'm DJing.
Speaker 2:What was in Boston?
Speaker 1:No, the Black Mass, the Mass Black Expo. It was so many movers and shakers in the rooms and I'm stuck behind a DJ booth so it was like I started putting on mixes getting from my heart. Hey, girl, what's up? You know, and I was actually talking to like one of the young ladies and she was telling me about FOMRE. And.
Speaker 1:I was like the problem is I have everything written out like what to do. Da, da, da da. I just don't know how to get in contact with these people. You know what she said to me. She said I'm about to tell you all. She said, honey, sometimes you got to start with the receptionist who do I need to talk to? And when she said that it was like oh, I was like what the fuck do you think about that? I work in corporate America. I know the receptionist is going to forward it to her manager and da, da, da da. And I was so mad at myself for not realizing that and, honestly, with the power of like AI and like Google, you could pretty much do anything you want to do. You just got to put in the right information.
Speaker 2:I think now you said you've been in this game going on about what over 13 years now. Go off of what you just said. Everybody, like you were saying, go look at these pages or events and they see the headline of the name, but you don't think about everybody that's there.
Speaker 1:No, you look at that, you read it. Say this is powered by who. Let me go follow the who.
Speaker 2:The who is what's going to get you there.
Speaker 1:Right, Follow them comment on their stuff. Talk to them and, believe it or not, they're going to remember you. You know what I'm saying. Like, even like on my cuffing season page, right, I had posted happy national coming out day, which was yesterday, right, and I tagged Bobby lights song judgment day. But you know, up at the top it says his thing. But I'm like he ain't going to get no notification from that. I'm going to tag him there you go. In the comments and Bobby lights came in common.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you, it's very simple. It's really that simple.
Speaker 1:Talk to these people, don't harass them. Show support, show love like, be genuine, be authentic, be nice you know what I'm saying Like go rock with them.
Speaker 2:Like right now? Is it easier for you to get these connections now? From how big, how big you are, how big the page has gotten, Do you notice how easy it is to reach out and get certain people to make certain?
Speaker 1:Honestly, I do what everybody else do.
Speaker 2:Like. You got to stop thinking you like everybody else, because I am, you are not. I mean, how many DJs, honey, is it?
Speaker 1:Oh, it's me.
Speaker 2:Is it saying it? It's me, ok. So it's, how many people is in that? It's just you? Yeah, it might. Everybody might have the same access or see a lane, but certain things are made and specifically for you, for who you are, what you bring to the table. I can get plenty of DJs, but there's one DJ, honey, though there's one personality that's going to come with her that I can only get from her, and what I'm saying is, honestly, what I do is nothing that no one else can do.
Speaker 1:I'm nice. When I show up, I entertain. That is what I'm hired to do. If you're hired to perform a service, you perform that service. I interact with my clients. I check on my clients. You know what I'm saying. I build the sales model into DJ honey. Right, that's what I do. I don't do anything, anything different. And, honestly, a lot of my business is word of mouth. People realize that when I come DJ their events they have a good time and that's what does it for me. It's nothing extra special that I'm doing. That's different from anybody else. I sell myself. That's all I do. So when I show up, I say, ok, well, michelle, put on this makeup, put the clothes on. What kind of event is it? Put your titties out.
Speaker 2:Is this. It Is men titties, I Boom. There you go.
Speaker 1:When it's corporate put a turtleneck on you know. So that's, that's mainly all it is. And then, like I am, honestly, I'm very meticulous about how I handle my business.
Speaker 2:You have never let go. You are holding on to the reins of the hustler and your CEO hat. At the same time you kind of let one of them go. You can't be both. You can't be both.
Speaker 1:I'm transitioning to that. I'm transitioning to that, honestly my manager. She takes on way more than I'm probably comfortable with, but you know I actually talk to her on a regular basis about what needs to be done and you know we get into it a little bit. You know, what I'm saying. I'm still, but it works. I mean either way, but I'm going to tell you this One time I had a manager and she I feel like she was like too eager. Ok.
Speaker 1:I feel like she was too eager to get all up in DJ Honey business.
Speaker 2:What you mean. That's your manager. Your business is our business.
Speaker 1:I ain't trust her.
Speaker 2:Why are you higher?
Speaker 1:I wanted to see what she was going to do with something else. I gave her another project.
Speaker 2:Did she do what she was?
Speaker 1:supposed to. She did not. I didn't trust her.
Speaker 2:Now did she not do it the way you?
Speaker 1:wanted. I told her exactly what I needed and she did not do it. But she kept trying to get into, like how I do my contracts, all of that stuff. She was trying to get my money.
Speaker 2:So for you, you have to trust people.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you can't trust everybody with your business Like no, you can't, no, no, you could you could test trial them. You know, you run them on a trial basis how many people you've fired. I've only fired one because I didn't have anybody else. Was it hard?
Speaker 2:No, I fired five people in this line of work. It has sucked each and every time.
Speaker 1:It didn't suck for me because they was dead as wrong.
Speaker 2:Are you saying you're not allowing mistakes?
Speaker 1:No, what they did was they tried to finesse me, right.
Speaker 2:At your own bread.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So for me, no, I didn't feel like no type of way and I've also haven't been in the space to where, as though outside of that situation, where somebody was trying to manage me my current manager. I went to her I said can you please manage me? She's one of my closest friends. I was like can you please manage me?
Speaker 2:Get the hell out of here. You chose your friend.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I trust her, I see what she does.
Speaker 2:What happened to not make some friends family with business?
Speaker 1:What no, we all go eat together.
Speaker 2:I hear you. Yeah, I hear you, but you know the rule.
Speaker 1:I know the rule right, but it's some people that you can do that with and some people you can't, yeah, so I didn't allow everybody into my business of DJ, honey. No, I knew that she was the person to do it and she does a very good job at it. So in all the years that I've been DJing, she's technically been my only manager. Wait, no, I'm lying. That fuck ass nigga from years ago. That sure lived. So wait you to fight too, motherfuckers. Yes, it was to. I forgot about him.
Speaker 2:How the fuck is nigga. What do you do? You trying to take money too?
Speaker 1:No, I had a family emergency and he had an event set up for me. But I told him that and it was like, literally, life or death. And I told him and he had a nerve to start yelling at me About me not showing up to an event when I told him I wasn't coming- and he knew the situation. He knew, and then he started to threaten me.
Speaker 2:Goddamn all right, all right, ok, ok, what the fuck? So you celebrated national coming out there?
Speaker 1:Yes, I did.
Speaker 2:When did you come out? Damn wife girlfriend or whatever you want to be to date it was.
Speaker 1:it was actually two instances. I came out to my mom and I came out to my dad separately. I came out to my mom first. It was a real funny conversation. She I was like hey mom, it was really like this. Hey mom, I just wanted to let you know I'm gay.
Speaker 2:How old were you.
Speaker 1:I think I was like 15, 16. I was like hey, mom, I'm gay. And she was like girl, no, the fuck you ate. And I said I said, mommy, yes, I am. She said girl, you bisexual, this is the face she's like. And she said she's like don't mind me, you know. I mean, I don't mind a little licky, licky, but I like this Licky.
Speaker 2:We all like to play. Sometimes you don't really want the life.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and with my dad. My dad was like a rose, like real tough. He he wasn't like mad about it or nothing, but it was funny. We was at and I was dating somebody my first girlfriend and she was. He was like so how close are you and you know such and such, and I was like we're pretty close, he closest fuck. I was like. I was like we're pretty close.
Speaker 2:Skin to skin clothes daddy.
Speaker 1:Right, I was like she always was school and you know adjusting to things.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Justin.
Speaker 1:He said no. He said how close. I said we're pretty close. He said OK, I got one. Ok, ok, he grabbed a sword. So I got one. He grabbed a sword, pepper shaker, he put him on the table. He saw y'all this close. I said he pushed him together. He saw y'all this close. I said he pushes him like. When he was like almost touching each other and I was just like they not touching each other, I was like he said well, what the hell? He stacked them on top of each other and was like y'all this close. I said yeah. He said huh, I kind of figured that. But you know that's the life you want to live.
Speaker 2:I'm an awful support, so I'm going to ask you this we're being in that lifestyle. I'm fully supportive of that. Everybody want to do what they want to do. Do that shit If it making you happy. So now, with the Netflixes and everything like that, and I believe you. Black, white, gay, bi Everybody wants how I'm going to put it Everybody wants to be represented, right? So if I'm a black man, of course I want to see a black man in a role or something like that. If I'm bi, of course I wouldn't have an issue seeing a bi person in a role. They don't have to advertise that they're bi, but if they are, that's dope, right. So for you, do you feel like now I don't even like calling it that but the agenda of pushing the LGBTQ just everywhere? Are you for that?
Speaker 1:now I'm for it in spaces that it should be. Ok right and if it's deserved.
Speaker 2:I never heard the word deserved. What do you mean?
Speaker 1:Meaning like, if you're talented and you are presented with certain accolades, I think that you should, but I don't think that a person should just be given something just because they are of the rainbow, like they have the experience or whatever it is. You know what I'm saying. Like I think that overly saturated times there's your entirely too much content on the in schools and let kids be. You know. So when it comes to like sexuality, I'm not really going like having it, I'm going to support it.
Speaker 1:you know, because I might not care for. But that don't mean that it might not be inspirational for someone else. You know what I'm saying? Like, even with me being a DJ and I book out the DJ DJs because they are girl, I'm a loser, they're dope.
Speaker 2:I don't mean to get. I booked them because they're Would you say you don't have preference if there's two dope DJs and one's no, a woman of color. Right, black woman, black man, they're both dope as hell. Right, you are not saying you would uplift the black female DJ because she's a?
Speaker 1:female. I had to choose, I would choose the better DJ, even if that's a man. Because if I'm going for a certain vibe and if that man DJ can can give me that vibe for said event, absolutely I'm going to book him. I've done that before.
Speaker 2:But want people to get you to uplift.
Speaker 1:You're in that part of the business now we're talking about talent, right, we're not talking about that doesn't mean that another opportunity that I won't put you in that place.
Speaker 2:Right, but that opportunity though.
Speaker 1:you never know when the next opportunity is going to come and I think that's prejudice. I think that's being prejudice If I'm booking you based off your talent and what you can give to an event. I'm going to book who I think is best suited for the position to based on talent and, honestly, a lot of girl DJs be better than dudes, so I probably will go with the girl. But if the guy is better I'm going to go with him and that's just that I don't.
Speaker 1:I don't do that. I don't think that's fair, because there's a lot of talented people out here who get overlooked because of looks or what's the vibe of the girl. What's the vibe of it?
Speaker 2:Is there a look for a female DJ?
Speaker 1:Absolutely. Bbls, big boobs, titties out, twerking on the DJ boo making a titties bounce shit like that, you know yeah it's, definitely, it definitely is, and I don't think anything's wrong with it.
Speaker 2:Do you say right now, you how you dress right now, was that coming from you being a DJ or just how you always dressed anyway? Because what if our female DJ is more like you, chilled out, she's just chilling today. That look wouldn't work. Why not? If the music was dope, doesn't matter.
Speaker 1:No, that's not true. That's not true. I think that when you talking about, I'm talking about more an aspect of feminine female DJ. Right, I think that there is a look, especially if you want to be in certain spaces. If you want to be at the industry parties and Saying being pretty does not hurt.
Speaker 1:No, it doesn't hurt. But I think it's unfortunate because there's a lot of talented people out here that deserve a shot too. But if we're talking about the business, the business of entertainment is to entertain, so therefore the look in the brand has to go into that. So people get kind of sour If they feel like they don't feel a look for something. Then change your look, Change your brand.
Speaker 2:You're from Philly. Most people I met from Philly are very chameleon-like they will adapt to whatever they will fake it to the fuck they make it. You say I gotta do what Cool bet I got you for an hour. I just gotta do it for an hour Solid. But a lot of people aren't. A lot of people want to stick to.
Speaker 1:I want to be me this is who I am, then you don't need to be in the business, because the moment you come into the business, whether you are an artist, a rapper, a DJ, a goddamn drag queen, entertainer, a personator, you're still going to have to change your brand for the sake of entertainment at some point, at some level.
Speaker 1:So if you are stuck in a space, whereas though that you feel like that you're not going to compromise at all, then you don't need to be in the business, because you have to compromise at some point. It doesn't mean that you have to completely change your look, but you have to compromise, like I have to compromise with my damn manager. I want to run DJ Honey, I want to wear 10 million hats because this is my baby and I don't want nobody to represent my brand in an ill way. However, you're going to have to make some changes, no matter how big or how small. Now it's a matter of whether or not you're going to invest in your brand to make what you have more attractive for people, because you have to be attractive and I'm not even talking about like in a physical way. You have to be attractive in regards to your talent, to people. And if you have to figure that out, and that's why you see so many people who aren't talented make it because they've made themselves attractive to the public.
Speaker 2:Yes, it's a lot I can get with that. Once you make yourself known or talented to the public, I'm not going to throw you out here, but fuck it, I'm not DJ Honey, let's go Crescent. Right, she might not be the most talented artist or whatever you might call it, she's talented to the people. People are sucked into her. So that's where you're going with it. It doesn't. Once you get the public sucked into you, it's gold. Then you can be wherever the fuck you want to be, literally. But you have to get to that point.
Speaker 1:Right, and if that means that you got to change things throughout the years, figure out what works, pay attention to trends and all that other stuff, then that's something that you got to do. If that's what you want to do, I went through a rebranding.
Speaker 2:Did you? I did what you rebranding.
Speaker 1:Myself how I looked. So many people come up to me and, oh my God, Honey, you look so nice Bitch. I ain't looking nice before. No, I didn't, I probably didn't. But I'm just saying like I had to sit back and go back to the draw and say, Nick, you need to invest into you and how you look and how you appear to people, Because I used to want to be that girl with sweatpants on and T-shirts going to DJ a party, but that ain't gonna work. That's why I'm at Nordstrom, Because I'm a girly girl and I'm a coming in and a little skirt with some nice shoes, maybe some loobal ties and be hey, everybody, I'm DJing from Mac Party time. That's what I'm hired to do, so you know.
Speaker 1:So when I come home, I take it all off and then I can be myself when I'm home. You know what I'm saying? I create peace at home.
Speaker 2:Who are you outside of this?
Speaker 1:A fucking dork. Ha ha ha ha ha, I'm a dork.
Speaker 2:What's your dorky thing? Gang.
Speaker 1:I actually get on her nerves about this. I will binge watch Dragon Ball Z.
Speaker 2:Oh, you're a dork.
Speaker 1:Yeah, hints the engineers. She said yeah, yeah, like, yes, I will watch all the crazy fantasy story like Harry Potter's and all that stuff. And then I like 1990s Black Cinema.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:So, but no, I'm a dork, I'm a dork. So this is the persona, absolutely, oh shit, I'm pretty sure when you go home.
Speaker 2:That's why she laughing over there. She's like hell yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm pretty sure you have a persona for yes.
Speaker 2:Yes, I am, ha ha ha. See, I am the same as you. I am so nerdy, I'm quiet, I'm going to be alone, but then I got to do this shit, you know hey, listen before I walk down.
Speaker 1:I don't feel like doing this shit.
Speaker 2:I'm parking said she might be bullshit.
Speaker 1:Ah, man, listen, I was like man, I don't fuck, I do this, I don't have drives like dogs. You came from DC. Uh-huh and my baby, she like it's all right, baby, we're going to go in here, we're going to do the thing.
Speaker 2:Why don't you do interviews?
Speaker 1:I just never been presented with the opportunity to do one.
Speaker 2:Get the fuck out of here. Get out of here. You can't keep fronting this whole. I'm telling you I'm not lit. Your woman knows you lit, the world knows you lit. For some reason it's not clicking for you.
Speaker 1:Okay, I'm going to be transparent. I was actually having a conversation with myself. You were just on the podcast. I need to start bragging about myself and owning it, because I don't. I don't like being the humble hustler. I like that. I like being the smartest person in the room and nobody knows and nobody feels it. I'm cool with that. I'm cool with that. I think what happens that gets lost in translation because I'm so humble people be having me fucked up. Okay.
Speaker 2:In the spirit of having you fucked up, go and name your accolades right now. Go ahead, hit them with it. Damn. Name your accolades right now. It's your time to pop this shit, oh shit.
Speaker 1:I mean I DJ for Kiki Palmer.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I have my own businesses.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I own real estate.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, good girl, that ain't it. I got good credit.
Speaker 2:Hell yeah, my calls paid off. That's what we talking about Shit.

So, with everything being said right, you could go back to when you were homeless before then, before you came out, back to when you was breakdancing, back to when you was going ballet. What would you say to your younger self? Now you could go back and look at yourself at nine years old. What would you say?
