They started at KJHK and then I didn\u2019t join the station until last year. Because of all of my friends, I basically hang out with friends outside of school, and they\u2019d go and do all their DJ stuff and I\u2019d just be left alone sitting, out in the rain. So I thought may as well just come inside and do the stuff. All my friends are execs now at the station. It\u2019s pretty cool to see them all grown up and doing their stuff. I\u2019m glad I joined.<\/span><\/p>\n AB: Do you have a favorite song?<\/b><\/p>\n JE:<\/b> No, I don\u2019t have a favorite song because, you know, I\u2019m looking for music all the time, since I\u2019m on live music, so I need to broaden my horizon, but… I\u2019m really into 80s, 70s R&B disco funk type stuff. That\u2019s really cool, but I also listen to contemporary stuff and alternative sound. Maybe like my favorite artist maybe?<\/span><\/p>\n AB:<\/b> Sure, that works too, if you have one.<\/span><\/p>\n JE:<\/b> I went to Bonnaroo two years ago, and I saw Kendrick Lamar live so yeah, he was pretty exciting. Ever since that performance, I see him in a better light, I appreciate his music more, as a performer and all of that stuff. Thundercat is also dope.<\/span><\/p>\n AB: If you had to describe yourself in three words, what would those be?<\/b><\/p>\n JE:<\/b> Ambitious, curious, and \u201csympatique,\u201d which is a French word that means more than just sympathetic. It\u2019s really caring for human life and human nature.<\/span><\/p>\n AB: Besides KJHK and school, what other hobbies do you have?<\/b><\/p>\n JE:<\/b> I love to play soccer. I\u2019m the biggest soccer fan. My team is Liverpool and my roommate\u2019s team is Chelsea so every day we\u2019re at it playing FIFA. I got him like 5 games to 1 on FIFA, so yeah, I\u2019m a huge soccer fan. I watch it all the time.<\/span><\/p>\n AB:<\/b> Me too, actually. I love soccer.<\/span><\/p>\n JE:<\/b> Do you have a team?<\/span><\/p>\n AB:<\/b> From England, I\u2019d say Liverpool.<\/span><\/p>\n JE:<\/b> What\u2019s your all-time team?<\/span><\/p>\n AB:<\/b> Barcelona. I\u2019m a huge Messi fan.<\/span><\/p>\n JE:<\/b> Barcelona is good. I think Neymar just got hurt in his international break.<\/span><\/p>\n AB:<\/b> Yeah, I saw the pictures, and he was bleeding from the head.<\/span> AB: What type of music has most influenced you?<\/b><\/p>\n JE: <\/b>I like a lot of music that will influence me. To be very generic, I guess a lot of hip-hop, new lyricists, people who put a lot of work into their lyrics. That\u2019s pretty inspirational. Also, that and from the other side: if somebody produces their heart out into a song, you can really feel that. That always inspires me and gets to me. I\u2019ve always loved Kanye. I think he is an amazing producer. Like I said, Kendrick, his lyrics are awesome. Whenever somebody puts their whole heart and passion into something, I get inspired.<\/span><\/p>\n AB: If you could travel back in time, what time frame would you visit and why?<\/b><\/p>\n JE:<\/b> See, I\u2019m a cultural anthropologist major, so we go millions and millions of years ago. I think it\u2019d be dope to witness mongol China. Either that or the manifestation of Russia, from now all the way back to before Stalin, when I guess even before the Soviet Union formed. I\u2019d like to see the whole timeline, or how China came to be, and like mongols vs. the Chinese.<\/span><\/p>\n AB: What\u2019s the best part of working as a DJ?<\/b><\/p>\n JE: <\/b>The best part is the independency of what you can do with your music within the FCC rules. The independency and the vast amount of music and all you can do with it. I\u2019ll have records and CDs in here and I\u2019ll mix that with stuff that\u2019s in the digital archive. I\u2019ll transition and do all these crazy stuff. I just play with different equipment and see what I can do with it. I love that and the networking. Everybody loves music here, which is really cool.<\/span><\/p>\n Photo credit: Angie Baldelomar<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Justin Evans DJ Name: DJ Zilla Exec Position: Assistant Coordinator for SUA\u2019s Live Music Committee DJ Shift: Breakfast for Beatlovers, Fridays 9 a.m.-12 p.m. Year: Senior Major: Cultural Anthropology with a minor in French Favorite Color: Deep sea blue Favorite Word: Pamplemousse (French word for grapefruit) Angie Baldelomar: When and why did you join KJHK?

\nJE:<\/b> Oh really? I just saw the headlines, but oh well, you got Suarez, which is a badass dude. I watch soccer all the time. It sucks that we can get the other leagues. I think the only time I\u2019ve been able to watch a Barcelona game is at Cielito Lindo\u2019s. The only league I can get is the Barclays league.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"offmicjustine\"](\"http:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/OffMicJustinE-300x238.jpg\")
