DJ JAZZY T
“I’m not flashy, I’m just Jazzy!”
Words: Nikki S.
Just a sophomore at Tennessee State University, DJ JAZZY T has earned high regards and mentoring from one of the most demanded DJs in Nashville, DJ Crisis. Many say she’s the best thing to hit Nashville. Jazzy T’s assertive and laid-back personality gains approval from a variety of audiences. Unlike most female djs, she demands the respect for her skills, rather than her sex appeal. Yes, her name is Jazzy T but it’s her hot mixes in the clubs that seduces the audiences. With DJing being known as a male dominated skill, she emphasizes that when she’s scratching, there is no difference from a male’s djing skills. In the club and campus events, she’s guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser. “You can’t be a selfish dj. You have to play what the audience wants to hear”, she says. Her ambition and love for music, is what drives her to do what she loves.
Jazzy T says she just started off just playing around but fell in love with DJing. “It was like my calling”, she says. Apparently, there’s a rule (which she acquired from her mentor, DJ Crisis) that three things will always go wrong your first time DJing: One, you’ll forget your djing equipment. Two, you’ll get nervous when the crowd isn’t feeling you. And three, No matter how much you practice, you will mess up! Jazzy T describes her first time DJing being one of her most embarrassing. “My first time DJing was during homecoming week in the courtyard (at Tennessee State). I played a popular song that everyone wanted to listen to, “Set it off”. And, you know all of the female Greeks stroll to this song! Well, I played the song and it was only like a minute long. So, everybody got mad and started asking for another DJ because the song was so short! Haha, I felt so bad!”
Well, with over a year of training, Jazzy T has improved much—you might even find her strolling to the same song that caused her to experience one of her most embarrassing moments! From DJing at the flyest parties in Nashville to the super swagged out parties in Atlanta, DJ Jazzy T has certainly earned a name for herself. With a mixtape set to debut in 2009, DJ Jazzy T is definitely on her sh*t and her fans/haters can’t wait to see what she has in store in the future!
