Last week I put out a blogpost asking for peoples pivotal moments in their artists journeys. This may have been a moment which pushed you forward, a chance meeting, collaboration, someone who took an interest or whatever it may have been to push you in a certain direction (hopefully forward, as thats always better!).
My first one up is from Spin City Goz who kindly responded to an instagram post and here it is, "Mine was when I was working away from home Monday to Friday. I lived in a rented apartment and basically had nothing to do most evenings. I'd given up DJing for around 15 years and was searching for something to fill my time after work. I was sitting in one night, bored out of my mind and decided there and then I was going to buy equiptment again and start up. I opened a soundcloud page for me and my mates to listen to my mixes and the rest, as they say, is history."
It goes to show, great things come out of boredom!
If you haven't had the pleasure of listening to Spin City Goz, his show Spin City airs on New York's number one House Music Station, www.myhouseradio.fm. on Sunday nights at 7pm GMT (2pm NYC) for 2 hours. Make sure you have a listen. The first hour is normally Goz with a special guest each week, some of those guests are Wahine DJ, John Le Visiteur and many more. Check out the links to find out more.
