Read the DJ Dutzh Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Hello, my name is DJ Dutzh and I am a DJ and producer currently living in Greensboro, North Carolina. I began producing in 2015 to help occupy my time after recently moving from Columbus. In late 2016, I started taking music more seriously and began DJing in early 2017 as a resident DJ at Burning Down the Triad, a local monthly rave. By the end of the year, I had a partnership with Audiodrops Records, a song with 15k+ plays on the New & Hot Worldwide chart on Soundcloud, and tracks supported by names like Vincent.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
My large taste in music influences me by everyone from Rock/Metal bands like Metallica and Breaking Benjamin to Rap artists like Kendrick Lamar and Tech N9ne. I actually got into electronic music in 2013 from listening to Yellow Claw and LNY TNZ after looking up Dutch music groups from me being interested in my heritage. My early career was heavily influenced from these groups and Vincent, Matstubs, Troyboi, Ricky Remedy, and other big names from that time. Currently I'm been influenced by ATLiens, Luca Lush, WAVEDASH, Pham, Dirty Audio, and Bishu. In my opinion, these names are pioneers of our current scene and will heavily influence what it will become in the next few years.
What´s new right now?
Currently, I have some big collabs in the works and a lot of bookings currently being discussed that will be everywhere from here in North Carolina to Columbus to Atlanta. In terms of things that are pretty much confirmed is my first headlining show at Burning Down the Triad and my debut at Create. here in Greensboro. There is also some discussion of playing at some festivals on the East Coast and Midwest. No matter how it goes, 2018 is going to be my biggest year yet and a great time for me to grow as an artist in the industry and myself as a person.
