DJ Felix
DJ Felix as we all know him now, was an aimless teenager who dropped out of school due to bad company. During his teenage years, he was into biking and night outs with no goals in life. He was a freak for hip hop music and started clubbing at a very young age. He was friends with all the people of the Kolkata night life. He used to recklessly spend his parents' money in clubbing and other such enjoyments.
After spending a couple of years living an aimless life, he was called by a resident DJ, who asked him why he doesn’t try DJ-ing. Felix laughed it out on the question as he was not interested in the same. But he was asked the same questions a couple of times more during clubbing and after this he thought of giving it a try. First time when he stepped into the game, he knew nothing about DJ-ing, but had enough knowledge of music. That time hip hop was just a genre for DJ’s to open the night with and later was kept aside. But Felix was into hip hop from his young days and hence he made it his forte during those days. He soon started downloading tracks and practicing in the club with the help of DJ’s there. He started enjoying it so even much that even when the clubs were shut, he used to reach there at 4pm, take the keys from the security and carried on with his practice. Soon he became a DJ and worked for free for various months before he was offered a salary, which was just 3000/-. Slowly he progressed and his salary increased to 5000/- and later to 7500/- He struggled a lot for 7-8 years after entering in to DJ-ing as a resident DJ. Quitting this job was the turning point in DJ Felix’s life. He did his first show in a club called Tantra for an event called Headroom where it was the first time actually people noticed him and he got a lot of appreciation from the people and even from his fellow DJs. That’s when he got known as a Hip Hop DJ and started getting events.
