My brother makes beats, and I DJ.

I'm a DJ. I get the party started.

DJ Khaled most definitely knows how to rock a party.

I didn't come up as a DJ, so I don't play by DJ rules.

You don't need a band to do hip-hop; you only need a DJ.

I'm a DJ who makes dance music who got to play with Sting.

My dad used to DJ too, so we used to hear music all the time.

I consider myself more of a producer and a musician than a DJ.

I'm not a DJ. I play live and think we put on a show. That's it.

I love Vegas cuz everybody who comes to hear me DJ is ready to party.

Then I just moved into being a DJ when that turned into the hottest thing.

I was called Kool Dj Kurt Walker... but they wanted tocall me Kurtis Blow.

I am the Crystal Palace DJ. I'm the guy who gets us going. I play the songs.

My job as a DJ and a producer is just to have a big encyclopedia in my head.

I used to DJ in Atlanta, and that's how I kind of got into the music industry.

When you DJ, you're just on your own, which is nice because there's no argument.

As a producer and DJ, I just like makin' great music and hot records for the club.

DJ Premier, this guy is like a god, a walking god. Guru, he put it down legendary.

I'm a DJ, but I'm also a ridiculously high-grossing musician due to doing productions.

My uncle, he's a big DJ out here in L.A. His name is DJ Tee; he's got a bar in Westchester.

I am one of the founders of Hip-Hop along with my brothers Kool DJ Herc and Grandmaster Flash.

I collect records pretty assiduously, so I've got, like, a massive record collection. I still DJ.

If I'm performing with a DJ, it's all on me to draw the energy. I like the camaraderie of a band.

The thing is that what you see on Snapchat, that's DJ Khaled. That's Khaled for real. That's Khaled.

One thing any DJ needs in his crate, especially at a barbecue, is a selection of 15-minute-plus jams.

When my record comes on, you know that's a DJ Khaled record. That's my formula, and the people love it.

Everything I make as a producer, I visualize it as a DJ first. And all those beats, I test them as a DJ.

Me and my little cousin DJ John John, we used to always be DJing in the house. We never took it seriously.

Really, to me, a really good evening would be a comedian, followed by a band, followed by a really good DJ.

Growing up, I actually wanted to be a professional baseball player instead of a radio DJ. Believe it or not.

I had completely changed from being a mixtape DJ to being a producer and working with Nas and stuff like that.

I really had no aspirations for becoming a DJ, and now I find myself having to campaign to be in the DJ Top 100.

Before 'Jersey Shore,' I was a DJ struggling to promote, deejaying six nights a week and hustling to pack clubs.

My dad being a DJ, I heard all the hits, no matter what. My mom always had on the radio because my dad was on it.

DJ Qualls and I have been best friends for I don't even know how long - since I was a kid, 14, 15, many, many years.

As much as I am hip-hop, I'm soul. As much as I am soul, I'm a turntablist. As much as I'm a DJ, I love jazz and rock.

I've called all sports. I was a radio DJ, club DJ, talk show host, hockey, basketball, football; you name it, I've done it.

For me, it's a great thing to tell people anything is possible. When I was 15, people told me 'You're not going to be a DJ.'

I have a rescue dog named Walter, and Walter and I are such fans of the 'Jersey Shore' that we changed his name to DJ Wally D.

Anyone can be a DJ but it's understanding how to read a crowd and keeping them on the floor is what takes years of experience.

A DJ can't just play one song. It's about playing a set, or how you connect songs in those two hours, and where you place them.

I'm more of an artist and a songwriter than I am a DJ. That word seems a little bit - well, it doesn't really describe what I do.

As a halfway decent college DJ, I had been exposed to some great progressive stuff and always took pride in unearthing musical gems.

Doing DJ sets is like - is difficult to me. Cause you have to find that happy medium of playing what the crowd wants and what you want.

Before Mustard was even making beats, he was my DJ. He was doing all my shows with me before I was even cracking, back in, like, '08, '09.

Yeah, I actually still have my crates that I used to DJ out of when I was first DJing - my crates that I would travel with and take to the club.

A DJ is nice and secure to have where there's a set playlist that you can kind of create yourself and then you know for sure what you're going to get.

I am amazed at radio DJ's today. I am firmly convinced that AM on my radio stands for Absolute Moron. I will not begin to tell you what FM stands for.

In high school, I threw a party to get a guy's attention. I wanted him to think I was cool, so I let him and his friends DJ and basically take over the house.

When I started DJing, because everyone called me 'Snake' in my city first, I was like, 'DJ Snake - OK, let's go for it.' The name sucks, but it's too late now.
