DJ Optimis
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Grew up starting to create Rock with my brother then I created a Rock band with friends. It got old so we stopped. Then my brother, friends, and I started a group called "blank" let's say because I don't want anyone to take the name but it was a rap group. I was the album cover designer. It soon broke up. Then another group was formed but I wasn't really in it. I didn't start creating my own music until I was in 8th grade but it feels like 7th. I found out about clubcreate and started there. Soon, like many know, clubcreate was taken off by Marc Anthony due to a law saw. Unfortunatley, out of 70 songs created, only six songs were exported; the rest deleted. Then i was intoduced to soundation.com and started to create music on there when i was a freshman. I soon took classes on how to use FL Studio with my teacher Mr. Ray Monsato. He then gave me a laptop with Fruity Loops on it and started to create music on there and still am. I also took Ableton Live classes and created a few songs on there like Neptune House #1 and all my other new realeases.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Never played live yet, but am interested.
Your musical influences
My biggest influence is Daft Punk. I was later inspired by Deadmau5, Tiesto, and Feed Me. My biggest influence that made me DJ was actually DJ Hero the video game.
Anything else?
I post more songs on the following websites than I do on Soundclick: soundcloud.com/optimismusic and reverbnation.com/0pt1m1s (reverbnation account has the newest songs and soundcloud has my more original and previous songs). Enjoy!!!:D
