Meet Our New Members
Bella Fiasco:
How long have you been DJing?
Going on 5 years this August.
What inspired you to become a DJ?
I come from a musically inclined family, everyone plays an instrument. There’s never been a day without music in our home and I wouldn’t have it any other way. My dad introduced me to the art of DJ’ing and it was love at first sight, would definitely call it fate that led me to finding a medium I can express my love and knowledge in music through.
Who is your favorite DJ?
A-Trak is the easy call. I’ve been a fan of his even way before I was introduced to DJ’ing. The classic master turntablist who never stopped growing and progressing along with the changing currents of DJ’ing through the years, now also a record producer and owns his own music label on top of rocking parties from one end of the world to the other. I mean, has this guy taken a rest since the 90s? He’s unstoppable… The ultimate inspiration.
What is your favorite genre to DJ?
I absolutely enjoy spinning all kinds of music, but no other genre gives me more enjoyment to play than classics – whether it be hiphop, r&b, soul, funk, rock, 80s, the list goes on. I love playing songs with history and feeling, songs that bring people back to the same time and place, songs everyone else can relate to, songs that will unite an entire room of different people with the same appreciation for good ol’ music.
What are your hidden talents?
My first found love and talent was drawing and painting, I still hit the canvas every now and then. Also, I can twerk with a bottle on top of my head, that’s considered talent nowadays right? (smirks)
What is the best piece of advice you can give to an aspiring DJ?
If you want to become a successful DJ, do it with genuine passion and respect for the craft. Everyone else can make it nowadays but what will set you part from the rest is the right combination of charisma, hard work, drive, and talent most of all – that is the recipe. Earn the credibility and respect you deserve, the right way.
What is a camp must have?
Forget cellphones, all you’ll need are headphones at Camp Spinoff!
What are you looking forward to the most for your first year at camp?
I’m so excited to meet young aspiring DJs who are ready to take on the world. It will be a great experience teaching them what I know and learning from them in return. The agenda is to inspire one another.
