I made my name and reputation DJing in hip-hop clubs in New York. ‘Celebrity DJ’ is a term that I hated. To me a celebrity DJ is someone that’s on ‘Big Brother’ or in some kind of B-movie who gets a gig to DJ even though they’re not talented enough to do it Picture Quote #1

The life of a singer is you have to pay your bills. You have to take a gig Picture Quote #1

We played one warm-up gig at this bar that was kinda like that bar in ‘The Blues Brothers’ with the chicken wire. This place called The Brick House, in Housatonic. I really can’t believe we’re going to play for people in New York City. I’m terrified, but it’s a small enough room. But it’s really just supposed to be for the fun of it Picture Quote #1

It’s a strange thing, this idea that for some reason, if a lot of people like what you’re doing, it’s therefore not very good. We use the phrase that a band have ‘sold out.’ Just so you know, if you’re doing a gig and you sell all your tickets, that is a brilliant thing to do Picture Quote #1

My first gig in the business was a guest star on ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer,’ so I’m neck deep in sci-fi. It’s been a very good genre to me Picture Quote #1

Growing up, my parents did everything they knew how to do to support me. My dad was always kinda my roadie; he drove me from gig to gig. But I got my own gigs. I was this 12-year-old kid, shuffling business cards, calling people, telling them I wanted to play Picture Quote #1

I knew from the time I was 6 or 7 that music was something I had to do. Growing up, my parents did everything they knew how to do to support me. My dad was always kinda my roadie; he drove me from gig to gig. But I got my own gigs. I was this 12-year-old kid, shuffling business cards, calling people, telling them I wanted to play Picture Quote #1

For my first gig, I got $75. I could make money being funny, so I pursued it as a career and have turned it into a lucrative business Picture Quote #1

Since the music industry cracked and fell apart, gasping for the cash flow it had come to expect, much re-thinking has been the order of the day. It is a fine time to be a musician. Like walking through Sodom and Gomorrah while it is still smoking, on your way to the next gig Picture Quote #1

Some people think it’s an easy gig working as an extra, but you often have to stay very concentrated for long stretches in challenging conditions Picture Quote #1

Right away when I got to college, I realized that being a politician sucks. It’s really hard! It wasn’t for me. B.J. Novak is convinced that I will run for mayor of Chicago at some point. He begs me to do it. It’d be a tough gig, but I was always very attracted to the idea of helping people and trying to make the city a better place Picture Quote #1

I did a gig at a comedy club in Bournemouth where they served a buffet while the acts were on. There was the clang of people carving turkey during the set. If you put comedy and turkey side by side, turkey always wins Picture Quote #1
