In Texas it’s more like me, so I can play what I want because I’m from Texas and I know some of the big rappers out there. In LA, it’s Hollywood out there so you got the Snoop Dogg and you got Reggae music and all that. It’s a much different crowd in Kansas City than in New York, right?ĭefinitely, you got to be upbeat in New York because they got people that DJ every night out there. I DJ around the country right now, including New York, LA, Texas, and Kansas City.
I just use DJ Charles right now because it reminds me a lot of the people who recognize me and know me by my name, so I don’t want to do DJ Firehouse. I’ll play two here, then spread another song and then I’ll play another two later, just to keep everybody upbeat and going. And when I put a music list together I make sure I play those songs so I can make it last for the rest of the night. What’s on the top 20 list? I try to see that and go from there. Just try to see what people listen to everyday in every city. What is your mindset when you’re trying to create the perfect dance mix for people? When you’re not playing the right song at the club, they sit down and say, “Oh, man, the DJ is whack.” It definitely gives me another mindset of what I’m about to do when I’m playing music. That’s what Guitar Hero reminds me of because if you miss a note the crowd gets mad. When you go off season and DJ, you got to go out and please the crowd by playing the right music. They’re coming to see you and you got to play. The only thing about that is you’re going in front of a crowd. What’s it like going from the NFL season and then DJing in clubs? I can play with my friends around the country, so I mean it’s going to be fun. They got all kinds of music, so it’s definitely going to be fun to play the game and then you can play it online. I love different cultures of music like reggae, pop, and now they told me they got pop music in Guitar Hero. I do it just for a hobby, man, and I love music. And you get to know the words too.ĭid you ever dream of becoming a rock star? It’s music I probably would have never listened to unless I’m playing the game. I definitely grew up with hip hop and rap, but now I get to step out of my environment and learn about rock.
You want to go out and party like a rock star. That’s the thing about a lot of people that want to be rock stars. The rock star thing is more like being yourself, wearing anything you want to, being crazy and being wild. Why do you think even NFL athletes aspire to be rock stars? People are talking back to you and they’re making faces. I got a chance to play the game and feel like I was a rock star on it because it feels so live. It came out when I was in college, so I remember the drum set that came with it and you played it with a whole band. When I heard the announcement was coming, I was excited to come out here to play Guitar Hero because I used to play it in college. What’s a favorite memory you have from playing Guitar Hero? Charles explains why Guitar Hero allows fans to experience life as a rock star, and talks about his own love of music and fashion in this exclusive interview.
