     you are and how you found yourself in music?<o:p></o:p></span></b></li>
</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I was born in Cape Town
on the Cape flats and moved to Jhb about 4- 5 years ago I was always drawn to
music from a young age I started djing with tape decks when I was about 12
years old, years later I launched Deep Heet Parteez and the rest as they say is
history<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Way too many to mention
definitely our diverse vibrant cultures, best food ever, best weather, best
scenery, so much creativity, friendly people, and it’s the mother land to the
world life started here..<span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

     2009, which is the better place for music? <o:p></o:p></span></b></li>
</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In my opinion C.T is where
you are inspired to create, most of the best creatives in any genre / industry
is from C.T but if you want to take your craft to the next level you have to
''make'' it in Jhb that’s just the way the cookie crumbles<span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

     resident dj of the legendary DeepHeet Parteez (2002-2012) which fast
     became one of the premium events on the CT House Scene in your opinion
     what needs to be done to make an event a success. <o:p></o:p></span></b></li>
</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">When starting an event
you have to ask yourself 1 important question, what is it that you as a party
person/ clubber would like to see at an event and take it from there also
consistency and quality are another 2 important factors.<span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

     Tiny T, would you say DJ’n alone gives one more creative freedom? What’s
     the major difference of DJ’n as a duo as opposed to alone? Which do you
     prefer?<o:p></o:p></span></b></li>
</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I enjoy both especially
if you connect with the person you playing with, when playing as a duo you feed
off each others energy which is great and playing alone is like telling your
own story<span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
