Crobar? Are you serious? You seem so not a Crobar DJ!

It was a looong time ago! It was actually for the Billboard Music Conference. Where else did I play? Actually my last party in Chicago was at Betty's Blue Star Lounge.

So what can people expect when they see you?

They can expect to experience something fun, powerful, spiritual and encouraging. My whole thing is that when I finish my set, you should feel better than you did when I started my set. Whatever your situation is, whatever is going on in your life... Because people often go to the club as a way of escaping. And I feel like if there's nothing else, what I would like to do is bring a smile to your face and warm your soul. And maybe you don't even understand it at the time but you just feel better! And not to have it come through like, "I just had to take some drugs or get completely wasted drunk and listen to the music."

You know you are different and you do have a light about you. I think people are really going to gravitate towards you.

People need something positive nowadays. Something encouraging, something that will give you at least some type of hope. I'm very open and engaging with people. I'm not one of these DJs where I come into the club and nobody can talk to me. I like to talk to people, shake their hand, give people a hug. Maybe you may hate my entire set, but if there's one song that I play that makes you say "Man... that song did something to me. That song uplifted me. That song gave me some hope" - then I did my job!

Let's just have a good time! Chicago and Detroit have always had a good relationship. Don't come with any preconceived notions like "TP is coming in with the Bible!" Naw, we're just going to come in and I really appreciate the opportunity. Just really looking forward to seeing all my peeps in Chi-town!
