TONY NEAL / CORE DJs INTERVIEW
Intervew by Aaron Cortez via email 8.2.10
———————–
As the head of the world’s largest DJ organization, Core DJ’s, Tony Neal has his hands on the pulse of the music industry!
As the head of the Core DJs, why do you hold events like the Texas U.M.S & Core DJ Retreats?
To build better relationship with DJ’s, A&R’s, and models, ect. Everything is hand in hand, locally and nationally.
You came from a smaller market, Milwaukee. Is that proof to artists and other DJ’s that you can make difference and make a living in the music industry without coming out from a large city?
Of course. If your networking skills are in tact, it doesn’t matter where you live or where you are from now. It used to be like that before technology, but not anymore.
Where did the name “Core DJs” come from?
The Center! The DJ is the center of Hip Hop, where it started. The “core” of Hip-Hop is the DJ.
What is the point of having crews like the Core DJs and why should artists be thankful for having the Core DJs around?
FIRST, we are a organization. A family, not a crew. We feel, Core DJs are the most consistant and have the most relationships with independent and national artists. It takes more than DJs to make a successful situation.
What’s next year hold for Tony Neal & the Core DJs?
A record label, more nationally syndicated commercial radio shows and to improve our brand through partnerships with other brands.
