Flammy Huo: What do you normally do for KJHK? What are your major contributions to KJHK?<\/strong>
\nAlexis Peterson:<\/strong> I just do rotation now but my first semester as a DJ was\u00a0two semesters ago. When I actually started DJing, I was a Breakfast for Beat lovers\u2019 DJ and then this last semester I was a rotation DJ as well. I was a member of the Live Music Committee for two years before that and now I\u2019m on Street Team.<\/p>\n

\"Alexis<\/a>FH: Cool! So what made you want to be a part of KJHK?<\/strong>
\nAP:<\/strong> I actually was on SUA through Live Music. Then I met people on KJ and they were really cool and really fun. I was like, \u201cOh, DJing sounds really cool.” I really want to do something with music once I\u2019m done with school. So having this experience is gonna help me with my future career hopefully.<\/p>\n

FH: You said you want to do something with music? What specifically do you want to do after college?
\n<\/strong>AP:<\/strong> I just want to work for a record label. That\u2019d be pretty awesome, like in promotions or anything. This summer I worked for a radio station in Nashville and I realized I really don\u2019t know if I want to do radio. It was cool getting that experience though.<\/p>\n

FH: Since you\u2019re a DJ, what kind of music do you like and what kind of music do you normally play?<\/strong>
\nAP:<\/strong> It\u2019s a wide range. I usually always play Vampire Weekend because they\u2019re my favorite band. I also play Strokes, Mac Demarco all the time, Tobias Jesso Jr., Phoenix and\u00a0more of that genre.<\/p>\n

FH: Like alternative? I like Vampire Weekend a lot too. Have you been to their concerts?<\/strong>
\nAP:<\/strong> I\u2019ve seen them five times. I love them a lot.<\/p>\n

\"Alexis<\/a>FH: If you could describe yourself as an animal, which one would it be?
\n<\/strong>AP: I love dogs but I\u2019m not energetic. I would probably be more like a cat. I\u2019m allergic to cats so I never compare myself to cats. I\u00a0like to compare myself to dogs so I\u2019d say a dog for sure. Maybe a dog who just likes to sleep all day. So like a puppy because they sleep a lot. Not energetic as a puppy though\u00a0so maybe like an old dog.<\/p>\n

FH: What is your favorite your KJHK\u00a0memory?
\n<\/strong>AP:<\/strong> I think it would be when we brought Real Estate\u00a0a couple\u00a0years ago because I really love Real Estate. They\u2019re one of my favorite bands so it was really awesome that we got to bring them. And just anytime I am DJing and people call in and say, \u201cWow, you\u2019re really doing a great job.\u201d I really like it when people do that.<\/span><\/p>\n

FH: What is your quest?
\n<\/strong>AP:<\/strong> To be happy, be nice, and be satisfied with whatever I\u2019m doing. Because all the work I\u2019m doing will hopefully pay off. I want to do\u00a0something that I actually enjoy, so that\u2019d be nice.<\/p>\n

\"Alexis<\/a>FH: What is your proudest accomplishment?<\/strong>
\nAP:<\/strong> I met Jack White from The White Stripes. That\u2019s my biggest accomplishment. When I was in Tennessee this summer, in Nashville, he was inducted into a Walk of Fame downtown. He lives there. He has his record label based out of Nashville. He was getting inducted the first week I was there, and I was all by myself. I met Jack White and I shook his hand. He\u2019s done a million things. I really enjoy him a lot. I\u2019d love to work for his record label, but that would take a lot of work. Hopefully one day. He does a bunch of solo stuff now and he\u2019s a great guy.<\/p>\n

FH: What would you sing at a Karaoke night?<\/strong>
\nAP:<\/strong> Two Weeks by Grizzly Bear.<\/p>\n
