I’ve lived in the DMV area for most of my young life. If
you know the club scene like I know the club scene you know a
party isn’t a party unless Djay Quick Silva is spinning on the
ones and twos. When I first heard DMV’s hot boy spin I was all
in. It was almost as if he knew my mood and knew exactly what I
needed to hear. To me that defines a Djay. I recently got a
chance to catch up with DMV’s own hot boy Djay Quick Silva and
get the scoop on how he changed the game.
Geri C.: So
Quic, what age did you discover that you wanted to become a Djay?
Quic: I have been djaying since the age of
ten so that gives me eighteen years in the game. I have actually
been in radio for the last ten years but have been djaying at
parties and clubs for eighteen.
Geri C.: Damn I had know idea
you’ve been doing this so long. Try to think back and let the
people know what was one of your first gigs?
Quic: One
of my first parties was when I was ten years old. I djayed my
cousin’s birthday party in her basement. It went terrible... my
speaker blew and I got booed; I wonder what those people would
be saying now (hahaha). My first club gig was in Baltimore at a
spot Club Indigo. A funny thing is that I was only fourteen and
the club was for adults. I wasn’t even old enough to be there!
Geri C.:
Dang Quic they didn’t have to boo you... I know they’re rocking
with you and Angie Ange between 6pm-10pm on 93.9 WKYS ya digg. I
know the list is long but tell the people some of your
accomplishments?
Quic: Well
I am currently the official national DJ for Pepsi Cola. I’m the
official DJ for all the Downtown Lockerooms in the country. I’m
Ray Lewis’ and the Baltimore Raven’s DJ. I was the DJ on
Redskins wrap-up show on Comcast Sport Net. I won East Coast
number one DJ at the mix show power summit in the Dominican
Republican. I’m a member of Half Krazy Sounds, Violator All-Star
DJ’s, and signed to Unruly Management. I djayed for Bob Johnson
in Turks and Caicos for the grand opening of BET Sound Stage. I
djayed the Rock the Mic tour for Lil Mo and Fabolous. I also
djayed and host the Seagram’s Gin Tour for three years. I could
keep going but I think you get the idea.
Geri C.: Wow that is an
impressive list Quic. So where can the DMV come see you mixed
the ones and twos?
Quic: I djay and host the
First Thursdays Ray Lew Full Moon. On Friday I’m at Ibiza
Nightclub. Every Saturday I’m at LUX Lounge and on Sunday I’m at
the Park.
Geri C.: You are at some of the
tightest spots in the DMV area. For the people that have been
living under a rock please let them know what type of music you
spin?
Quic: I spin everything from Hip
Hop, R&B, Old School, House, Baltimore Club, Reggae, Dancehall,
Salsa, etc.
Geri C.: You have made the
life of a djay seem fabulous but what if you never choose this
profession. What do you think you occupation would have been?
Quic: If I wasn’t djaying
I would probably be some type of investment broker. I love to
make money working for me and not working for my money. Also my
dream growing up was to be a football player... can you imagine
that?
Geri C.: I couldn’t
imagine that. I would have never guessed. Let wrap this
interview up by me asking you what advice do you have to give to
aspiring djays in the DMV area?
