Musik Monday! Interview with @DJEXEL
Hey Wus yall this week I will be chopping it up with VH1's Master of the Mix and fellow Fleet DJ @DJExel. Within the past five years, eXeL has played in various clubs worldwide and has landed opening sets for comedians Deray Davis and Gary Owen, R&B greats Jon B, Genuwine and Dru Hill, and Freeway. She’s also spun parties for Trey Songz and Fabolous, and is the official DJ to Jazz of Dru Hill (aka JR The Artist). Things started moving at an accelerated pace when eXeL came out on top of Baltimore station 92Q’s battle for their “Diva of the Mix” competition in 2011, which landed her a guest DJ spot on the station. In the same year she was awarded the Best Mixtape DJ of the Year and nominated for Best Club DJ of the Year at the Central PA Hip Hop Awards both of which had her as the lone female nominee. Since then, she’s backed up her “#1 International Party Rocker” moniker as she has completed over a dozen mixtapes and two international tours, spinning in clubs from Hong Kong to Miami’s Karu & Y. In 2012, DJ eXeL was a featured DJ at the Global Independence Day Celebration at the world renowned Beverly Hilton Hotel. She’s not limited to music events either; her mixes of hip-hop, R&B, Reggae, Club music and Top 40 hits have afforded her gigs at places like Madewell, Macy’s, Sneakervilla and Sephora. Best of all, she was recently named one of the top 20 DJ’s in the U.S. by VH1’s critically acclaimed reality series, Master of the Mix and is a contestant in the show’s third season. This is just the beginning of DJ eXeL’s evolution and stay tuned “Because She’s A Big Deal!”, as her slogan appropriately states.
