DJ Names...

djtonypsalms 4:30 PM - 25 March, 2006
How did you guys come up with your DJ name?

A friend from Trinidad (Don Judah) gave me mine after I spun a nice conscious roots Reggae set years ago.

He changed my name from Anthony Lasam to DJ Tony Psalms.
twinsouls 5:04 PM - 25 March, 2006
Well if anyone is wondering TwinSouls is *not* my DJ name but a nickname a friend of mine gave me many a years ago because I was born a Gemini (The Twins). So I use this in my production name TwinSoul Productions or T$P for short. She would tell me that she never knew what to expect from me like I have split personallity's or something. Till this day I don't know if that was a good or bad thing ??? But it definetly applies to me musically. Im all Hip Hop when it comes to DJing but I listen to nothing but RnB in my personal time and was even in a Hard Rock band (Drummer)for a minute.SO ya, I'm musically twisted.

But I just go with DJ Josh
Julls 5:07 PM - 25 March, 2006
I just go by Julls since its my nick name. My real name is Julian, but no one calls me that. I used to go by DJ Cocoa...haha don't ask.
s42000 5:13 PM - 25 March, 2006
I used to go by DJ Spermo ... when the gigz stopped flowing I realized something was wrong .. now I just go by "The DJ".
DJVigor 10:30 PM - 25 March, 2006

djransom 10:33 PM - 25 March, 2006
I tried the rapping thing once and a guy I knew gave me the name A King's Ransom and I just took the Ransom and threw DJ in front of it and now you have DJ Ransom.
dj Jazz One 11:37 PM - 25 March, 2006

grrillatactics 11:26 PM - 26 March, 2006
I don't even have a DJ name anymore. GuerrillaTactics is the name of my promotion company, "grrillatactics" is just a shortened up version of it. I just use my real name, which is Nolan. I don't even like it when they put "DJ" in front of my name. When I introduce myself, I always do so as "Nolan", so why not just simplify the whole thing and also use it for DJing?...

Ye thats just cheesy, I dont understand why loads of people on here have dj in front of there forum name, we dont need to be told you dj lads we already know seeing as your on here.

hmmm, so everyone on here is a DJ? I disagree. I think a lot of people might play records/cd's, but not everyone is a DJ. I'm sure there are a lot of fugazis on this message boarf
bush 12:30 AM - 27 March, 2006
Well putting dj in front of your name doesnt make you any more of a dj
SolKim 12:36 AM - 27 March, 2006
^ I dont get it. I thought we all agreed on that already?
djHSL 1:38 AM - 27 March, 2006
"fugazi" ??
DJ Yaz 1:47 AM - 27 March, 2006
My DJ name comes from my last name. Yasnoff. It is pronounced Yaz'a'noff. It's Russian, People called my dad Yaz and they called me Yaz even before I was a DJ. My first name is David and that's very common so a nickname was in order, and no one wants to say my whole last name. So my name became Yaz to almost everyone that knows me.

I use DJ in front of the Yaz to avoid confusion with the 80's band.
Dj K.Smith 2:03 AM - 27 March, 2006
All my friends call me K.Smith so I just put DJ in front of it... Plain and simple... Dj K.SMith

dj_a_dee 12:25 PM - 27 March, 2006
my names adrian friends all call me adie for short thought "A.DEE" sounds better dj names :D
mister iLL 12:46 PM - 27 March, 2006
my name's roland...but the guy who actually first taught me how to dj is also named roland (crazy coincidence since i've only ever met about 5-8 roland's in my life). so he had the name "dj roland" already, and we lived in the same city and all, so that was definitely out. i think i just wanted something with "ill" in it, and then i didn't want a "dj" in front, so some friend of mine came up with the idea of always having everybody call me "mister" - mister iLL
djzoo 3:50 PM - 27 March, 2006
i got my name from friends in jr high and high school. they couldnt pronounce my last name (zuniga: pronounced soo-knee-gah. they would call me zoo-nigga, adam zoo then they shortened it to zoo. been using it since, 1991
punosion 5:12 PM - 27 March, 2006
Two friends made my username. Actually, they made the word, and I adopted it as my username/"DJ name." They were playing with refrigerator magnets, "sound" and "ion." Rotate the "sound" magnet 180 degrees and put "ion" at the end. Technically, it's spelled incorrectly with a capital P.

Mine is a knick-name I got in jr. high ... i used to play basketball with all my homies and back then everyone had to be "baby" somebody ... baby jordan, baby shaq, baby rodman... I was the short, non-basketball-skill-having white kid, so I got named Baby Shitty ... some of them dudes still call me by that...

the only other knick-name I had was DayDay, so I went with Baby Shitty.. much more marketable...

Basically, if you have the web url for your DJ name you are that DJ. If someone else got it first then I'd shop for a new name.

Funkdigital was/is the name of my website. I came up with the name for the site and the username I used was funkdigi and/or metalface but there already is a metalface out there, MF Doom so I went with my site name.
dj dawn 3:53 PM - 29 March, 2006
I came up with the name DJ Dawn many years ago when I was about 13 years old. I'm a graffiti writer and Dawn has been my tag since then. The letters just fits together!? I formed my Dawn tag after seeing a ringtone on my old Nokia 5110 which had the name Dawn. I played with the letters and realized that they were so nice that it actually should become my tag and identity! The step from Dawn to DJ Dawn isn't very far when you suddenly starts to DJ instead of writing so much...

Now later I have realized that there are many other DJ Dawn around the globe. There is one in Germany, China/Japan and one in the US... but hey I can't change my identity! I'm DJ Dawn...

DJ Pree 3:04 PM - 15 August, 2006
I ran track for like 8 years and was the only brother on the distance team. They called me the Black Steve Prefontaine (Icon distance runner back in the 60s'70s, coach founded Nike) because of my running style so they called me Pree for short. Hence the birth of DJ Pree.
