Asked and Answered Online Radio DJ Dreaming of Music
Asked and Answered: Online Radio
DJ Dreaming of Music
Hi everyone and welcome to this
section of my blog called Asked and Answered. This time around we are
talking with Ed who is an up and coming Online Radio DJ star. We are
going to be sharing some photos as he pursues his dreams.
Me: So we have chatted many times
over the years, but for those reading about you for the first time or hearing
about your dreams of being a DJ. We can start with what you prefer to be
called Ed or Eddie? So share some things about yourself, your family, and
friends?
Ed: Ed is fine; Eddie is for
business. –ha-ha I am 21, I work for a Quick Lube (oil service) shop, and
Internet radio DJing is a hobby I hope to turn into a second career. My first
career dream is to build a business that restores classic cars. I have my mom,
brother, and dad as immediate family. I live with my mom and brother and my dad
lives very close in a neighboring city. I have a few friends and most of them
have moved away for college, but I have a few that still stay in touch and a
couple that didn’t leave for college. I’m a family oriented man, and I treat my
best friends like they are family.
Me: What has you interested in being
a DJ?
Ed: I always loved hearing my
favorite songs on the radio, and I used to think, ‘What if I could be the one
playing someone else’s favorite song on the radio?”
So here I am today using
internet-radio as a hobby to hopefully learn how to be a great DJ that helps
people reunite with their favorite childhood songs or bands and even shed light
to new artists/bands/groups that have potential of changing the world in a good
way. Music is powerful, and music is my life. Everything I do involves me
humming, whistling, or singing a favorite tune ha-ha. I also love sports and
giving my opinion is something I’m good at, whether or someone wants to hear
that opinion, I share it anyways.

Me: How many songs do you have and do
you allow requests?
Ed: I have about 40 songs right now.
Being a free member on Spreaker I can only have so many songs (by data size) so
it’s hard to have a lot of songs. I do allow requests but it’s a little hard
because I may have to actually download the tune before putting it into my
music library. Although that is why I usually do two episodes (½ hour each) to
allow for a request to be played near the end of the first episode or the
beginning of the second one.
Me: I’m going ask about photos of the
sport cars and caps (lids). Why the interest in collecting them? When did
you start your collection?
(Insert 2 photos of sport cars &
caps inserted here via the blog)
Ed: I’ve been a memorabilia collector
from the start! I was born into a huge sports family. We love everything
Detroit! Red Wings (hockey), Pistons (basketball), Tigers (baseball), and Lions
(football-United States). We are also huge University of Michigan fans in
basketball and football. I love ball caps. I usually always wear one. So it was
easy to collect those. Throughout my life family members have given me sports
memorabilia from my favorite sports teams for birthday and Christmas gifts. My
dad has been a mechanic for 35 years, so it was easy getting into sports cars.
I myself am now a technician at an oil change shop called Gary’s Quick Lube.
Sports, cars, and music keep’s my life in balance and helps me realize that I
really do have a purpose in life.

Me: What are the next steps in
completing your dreams?
Ed: My next steps are to keep working
the job I have to save up money. I’m currently building my credit score via my
bank, and some other things so that in the future it will be good enough to
start my own business. From there it will be all about setting up the plans for
the business getting the facility built and moving forward. I also plan to have
an office for my internet-radio show and making it an official company via
trademarks, copyrights, and a business license.
Me: I’ve got to ask this are you
going to be a professional fisherman or this a hobby? Because from this
photo we can see that you caught something so do share with our readers and is
there a story behind catching this fish?
(Insert via blog the 2 photos of Ed
fishing)
Ed: About 2 years ago I recently
moved back into my hometown of Tecumseh, Michigan, U.S.A. The fish were caught
in one of my favorite fishing spots from when I was growing up. As for now
fishing is a hobby. I’d like to enter professional fishing tournaments later in
life, like maybe when I’m close to retirement. Fishing is the fourth and final
piece of my balance beam. The four edges, sports, cars, music, and fishing all wrap
around my family, which is the center of my life’s balance.
