DJ Keesh: Legendary moments. I want events this year to be remembered. I want my fellow colleges to enjoy themselves at school and at any event I’m playing music at. We have a lot of stuff in store
Her Campus: Why did you decide to become a dj? How important is music to you?
DJ Keesh: Music is something I always had love for, all genres really. Music brings energy and moods to people’s lives. Music is a very powerful tool that’s why it’s important. I chose to be a dj because I had an ear for it. When I was younger I would listen to the radio with my family and I can hear a song and go, “Momma this song will go good this one.” So, as I got older my parents supported my decision as I invested in some equipment to make it happen.
Her Campus: What is your most memorable party you’ve DJ & why?
DJ Keesh: Oh, wow there’s a good handful but I will honestly have to say my favorite was the “BlackOwt” party we threw with the Iotas. Adams Hall was packed wall to wall and it was such a dope vibe too see everyone having a good time ON campus for once. Another reason would have to be that since it was on campus that means we didn’t have any alcohol there either which means people were genuinely enjoying themselves to be super turnt at a party with no drinks.
Her Campus: Who helps you the most with your music career?
DJ Keesh: I have a good amount of people who are supporting me in this which I am very thankful for but one person who helps the most is DJ Pro2kall.
Her Campus: Where do you see yourself in 5 years with your music?
DJ Keesh: Doing what I do now but on a much larger scale.
Her Campus: What do you have planned this year for Savannah State?
DJ: Keesh: I can’t reveal my secrets. Just know this school year will be great.
