Q. What is your main focus in this industry?
A. To play for as many
venues as possible in efforts to develop a stronger presence in the music industry as a DJ. I play at Club Paradise on Fridays,
but I try to leave my Saturdays and Sundays open to do a variety of different events. That's where you really get an opportunity
to meet new people, be more creative and have fun!
Q. What gives you the drive you need to play to
the best of your ability?
A. My motivation is drawn
from crowd appreciation. Most DJs feed off of a crowds energy - the better the crowd, the better I play! Being a Capricorn,
Im also a bit of a perfectionist. I play close attention to what I play and how I play it.
Q. How long do you see yourself in this business?
A. I have no intention
of leaving it. Its opened up a really exciting world for me and unless something drastic happens, I hope to continue enjoying
it as long as I can do it!
Q. What is Volume 7 Sounds?
A. Volume 7 Sounds is the
name of my business.
My goal is to be more of a solutions provider, instead
of just a DJ. For example, if youve got a wedding coming up, my roll is to provide a 'sound solution' for your function by
asking the right questions, getting you quality equipment and setting the musical mood just the way you want it!
Moreover, Volume 7 Sounds is more than just the DJ services
- its a multi-dimensional business. I also offer event promotion, consultation, and computer services - providing just the
right 'sound solution'!
Q. Where did the name 'Volume 7 Sounds' come from?
A. It is the name
of my fathers sound system, so I did him the respect of taking it over and carrying on the legacy.
Q. Would you get into production like
some of the DJs around?
A. I do very little
on an ad-hoc basis. Im not sure if this is a path I plan on taking in the future, but Im thankful that the options are open.
Q. Is there anyone in the DJ industry that
you admire?
A. I enjoy DJ Starting from Scratch's creativity, The Juiceman Jonathan Shaws consistency, and DJ Tyrones crowd
moving energy.
Q. Could you ever see yourself as a "Radio
DJ"?
A. I've played
on the radio and enjoy doing it every now and then.
Q. What does the "C" in "DJ Glen C" stand for?
A. The "C" stands
for my last name, (which is) Cooper. I decided to go with that, because I did not want to give myself a "stigma" like some
nicknames do.
Q. Where do you see yourself 5 years from
now?
A. I see myself continuing
to learn and grow as a person and hopefully some of it will rub off onto the business! (laughs) Seriously, though, I got into
this business because it was fun, and I love music! Until any of those two things change, by the grace of God, I plan to keep
on keepin on!
Got questions?
