Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Hi, there guys I'm Kerwin aka Kill3r-K. A DJ & Electronic artist from the windy city of Port Elizabeth (South Africa). I first encountered the art of Djing & mixing while living Johannesburg.At the age of 12 while still in primary school I started playing at school discos and local house parties in and around Johannesburg. In 2006 I moved back to Port Elizabeth and at the age of 16, I got my first residency at this nightclub called AfterParty. I lied and told the owner of the nightclub I was 21 years old at the time, that's how hungry I was to play in front of a crowd.
Fastword 11 years later, countless gigs and now I own my own Label Called Killer-K Entertainment.cc and I've had the opportunity of playing in New York and Seoul. My Music is a mix of Hip Hop and Bass heavy house music.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
At first, I was influenced by Deep house producers like Ryan Murgatroyd and Troydon , then slowly my experience and knowledge grew as I grew older and started building up my musical vocabulary by listening to all these different electronic sub-genres coming from the UK & US. This all began when I first started using SoundCloud back in 2010. This absolutely changed my influences as an Artist, listening to so many different artists. Like Dusky , Bonobo , Skream & Benga , Four Tet , Shadowchild , Skrillex , Burial , Artwork , Pendulum , Chas & Status , Roni Size , Goldie , Sango , Sivey , Sam Gellaitry , Joe Kay , Thundercat , Flying Lotus , J Dilla , MF Doom , Madlib , Dj Q-Bert , DJ Rob Swift , Stimming , Chris Lake , Claud Vonstroke , Kyle Watson , Sean Munnick , The Internet & so many more I just can't name them all.
