Life in the Fader: Professionalism

Professionalism

Man oh man how I love working with artists who show professionalism. I was lucky coming up. I was exposed to professional artist from the beginning which gave me great perspective and awesome work ethic. This means there wa no time to be a slacker and had to use my time efficiently in order to coexist as a professional artist myself.

Professional Work Environment

While working for 7 Heads Productions as a College Promoter, I was exposed to how a professional environment works. J live was truly the first professional artist I worked with. I learned tons from him. While touring with J I learned how to be punctual, how to articulate my thoughts, and how to make solid relationships from New York to Japan.

Professionalism

My next experience of working with professional artists would be the mighty hip hop group eMC which at that time featured Masta Ace, Wordsworth, Punchline and Stricklin. This was a four man group which meant no time for games, only perfection with every execution at

Professionalism

Masta Ace

every show. Masta ace the head of the group was one of the famous Juice Crew members in the late 80’s who had been in the game for years. Ace and Words exposed me by being communicable and to always push for excellence. Masta Ace is a perfectionist and if I learned anything from him it’s to try to be the closest to perfect as possible.

While living in ABQ I show all perspectives of professionalism that I’ve learned over the years. In My everyday life those past Experiences have molded me into the guy I am today.Gold

Here is another track from my forthcoming Multimedia Book, the Grand Fantastic Life of DJ Flo Fader which will feature my music, photography by award winning photographer Alex Lopez and my fictionalized biography as told by author Alex Paramo. Stay vigilant…

DJ Flo Fader Reminisces

“Man, I can remember like it was yesterday when I moved to the South Bronx back in early 2000. It was crazy how I wound up living in the birthplace of hip-hop. I had just landed a great job working for Seven Heads Ent. as a college radio music promoter in D.U.M.B.O. It was perfect. I had no reservations and high motivation. This was a grand fantastic start for me.   The Grand Fantastic Life of Flo Fader is almost complete. Stay tuned and shout out to Boynton Ave!”

Life in the Fader: Q and A with DJ Flo Fader

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on January 6, 2015 Respond

Video DJing by DJ Flo Fader

I often get asked lots of interesting questions by people interested in the DJing process. I am constantly on the lookout for new sounds and how to incorporate them into my specific style. Here’s a video question and answer with Alex Paramo of Community Publishing and I. In this video I’m explaining what goes into preparing a music video set and a little history of VDJing Feel free to share this with your friends and family.

Feeling Good

I am into discovering new sounds, genres and looking into how music is put together. I listen to the different elements and come up with new and different ways to piece sounds together. Ultimately though, I like the way music makes me feel. This is a track I made last week that made me feel super fresh after listening to it!

Remember when it seemed like people only liked one type of music genre? People would be labeled according to what music they liked: Metal Heads, Punks, Goths, Hip Hop Heads and the like. Well increasingly and partially due to technology, folks are swimming through different genres and no one more so than DJ Flo Fader.

Born in the South, DJ Flo Fader aka Roscoe Floyd was influenced by the diverse musical tastes of his mom and step-dad who was in a Funk/Rock/Blues band. He and his family moved to the NYC/NJ area where he was exposed to DJing and Hip Hop Culture. In the combination of songs in his professional sets to the combination of sounds when he is producing beats, a myriad of sounds that create storms of pulsating energy in your head.

Diverse World

Countries, including our own, are becoming more diverse and eclectic. Sounds from all corners of the earth can be found a click away thanks to the inter-webs. DJ Flo Fader has traveled the world professionally working with legends J-live,  Masta Ace and the whole EMC crew.
