Speaker 3 (00:06):
Michael, those you read will do uh or something like this.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
I can't hear you.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
I'm just a baze.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
That's what you're thinking about.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
This is m Z.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Now, Tiffany, how are you? How are you good? So
(00:53):
let's talk about who you are, what you do? Uh?
Take your coming out and joining us in this very
h cold weather today.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Absolutely, thank you so much for having Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
So I know two things about you. I know you're
a DJ and you drive a really cool You drive
a cooler car than I do.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I do.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
I love my car.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
That's cooler than kid my daily driver. Sorry everybody.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Okay, so we have two what are your two cars?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
So?
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I have an Accura that looks like it was on
the set of Chernobyl And then I have a did
you like you know how to give me your exact age?
We give me a range, a five year range.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
I'm there.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Okay, So you probably are old enough to remember there's
a show called night Rider. Do you remember a night Rider?
Kind of Okay, So it is a car. It was
like the first talking car AI all that stuff. I
have one of those, so it doesn't drive by itself. Unfortunately,
I still have to drive it. What is that pomping?
Speaker 4 (01:49):
I wanted? I think, And this thing's going out?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
All right, hang on, I'll turn it off for now.
Let me know when you get it. Is it good?
Speaker 4 (01:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
All right, it seems okay for now, we'll see. Yeah,
I got the night Write a Car and that's it.
So I would say the night Write a Car would
be slightly clear, only because I had a TV show.
But your car is a what I have a Portia
Macon and I don't even know what that is, but
it sounds expensive and really cool like suv is.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
Yeah, it is an suv, but it still has like
the Chrono package, so you can turn it into sport
mode and then you could also hit like the launch.
So if you want to go like super fast really quick.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Wow, let me ask you this though, car to car.
Can your car go turbo boost over like a semi
truck like mine can in the TV show?
Speaker 5 (02:37):
It might be an expensive yeah, adventure?
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Right?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Are you a car person? Do you like cars?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Like?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Why this car?
Speaker 6 (02:45):
I don't know, you know, I was looking at new cars.
I did have a Jeep Cherokey beforehand, and my mom
was like, why don't you just like look at some
luxury cars because some of the newer cars, like the Kias,
the price range was almost just as much as a
luxury vehicle, right, And so when I drove it, I
was like, I feel like, this is it. The hood
of it is kind of slanted down versus you know,
(03:05):
like some of the cars they're more up and I'm like,
I can't see over.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Right, so it kind of slants down.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
It's just very sporty, very luxury. But of course I'm
in DJ so I also need room for equipment.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
That's true, yeah, the SUV, So getting that car, so
my first thing with it, I would think is like
maintenance has to be super expensive.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
You know. I did get maintenance package, so like my
first couple of like old changes and stuff were all free,
but now they were like, do you want to do
the wiper blades, And of course, you know, being a female,
I'm like, yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
No problem.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
Wiper braids were like two hundred dollars, so just say
no to the wiper blades.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
But other than that, oil changes about what you expect
on a normal car for the most part, Okay, could
you take it like quick car and get it done
if you wanted to, or do you take it to
the dealer.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
Every time, I've taken it to the dealership because it
was like covered under like the warranties. So far, I've
just done dealership and they actually send you like a
whole like video of everything and explain everything that they're doing.
So you definitely get that like luxury experience when you
go to the dealership.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
So I've wanted to get a luxury car, but I've
always been afraid of because you can really get one
at a good price, Like you said, you can get
a Kia, a really nice Kia, or you can get
a luxury car, but I'm always worried about, you know,
how much am I going to pay when something goes out?
So you want a car person at all until you've
really got this.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Right, Yeah, I really love like I used to have
like a go cart as a kid, so I feel
like that, and like ATVs, I always like love stuff
like that, so I feel like maybe that played a
role in it. But yeah, now I'm like, oh my gosh,
Like every time I hear a loud car, I'm like,
what is it?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
That's cool? All right, So you're a DJ, and you
DJ a lot of spots around town that we used
to frequent in our youth and or really before they
got too crowded. You do work every weekend during the week.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Mostly during the weekends, but sometimes I do have.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Gigs during the Louis and this is all you do.
It is like, this is what you do for your income,
and you make so much money. There's another DJ in
this building, Spider the DJ. He's in this other production room.
He and I'm sure there was times where you know,
you guys were probably up for the same gig and
they had to take you because you had the Porsche,
you know what I mean. They're like, well, it's either
Tiffany or Spider, and she's got a cooler car that I.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Do feel like sometimes it's easier to get gigs being
a female, because there's not many female DJs in general.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
And if there are, they're very much niched into like
a certain genre where you're doing everything right. You can
form open format. So how did you get into doing that?
Speaker 6 (05:30):
So guy I used to date a long time ago,
he was a DJ, and I just started going to
his gigs and they were a lot of fun. I
really loved it, and he was like, hey, you have
a great music choice, like.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Why don't you be a DJ? And I was like,
you know, I'm not really.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
Sure, but I took some online classes started picking it
up and here we are.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
What really? So just so do you beat him out
on gigs now?
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Oh yeah, friends were not together anymore.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
Sometimes he will even give me his gigs and people
sometimes prefer me.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
That's awesome. So do you have to starty? Like I
know when Spider was DJing actively, he would be hours
and hours, you know, looking through music and listening to stuff.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Yeah, way, way more work off that no one ever
sees than when you're on stage.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yeah, so is that what you do during the week?
Is it more just a lot of homework? What's out?
What are people listening to?
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Like?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
How does that all work?
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (06:23):
So depending on the type of gig and the venue
that I have. Some people are very like specific Like
I did a seventies party and she only wanted seventies music,
so I spent a good probably like four or five
hours of prep time downloading all of the songs that
she wanted. So it really just depends on the gig
and if it's like a private event or if I'm
(06:43):
going to like a bar club. But I do spend
a lot of time downloading new music, and I also
play music videos at certain venues. So it's making sure
I'm downloading like the MP four instead of like the
MP three five.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Yeah too.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
So before all that, before you started in this guy,
were you in the music at all? Was that kind
of your your love language?
Speaker 6 (07:04):
I like music, but actually I used to work for
a full time corporate job doing marketing. Okay, so that's
what I was doing up until like March of this year.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Really, yeah, Because I feel like I've followed you for
a little bit, knowing that you're a DJ on Instagram
or something on Facebook. I had seen you around for
a while. I thought you've been doing this for a
long time. It felt like, I mean you have, but
it wasn't a full time gig.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
It's like about six years.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Okay, yeah, yeah, that sounds about right. But just went
in a full time gig until this year, right, wow?
And then when did you focus? Was that a big
leap trying to like, hey, I'm gonna stop with this,
you know, healthcare and all this stuff that I've had
here and take the leap into being my own boss.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
Yeah, it wasn't. It wasn't really. I guess it was
kind of a choice, but it wasn't. At the place
where I was at, they were downsizing and outsourcing labor
and so pretty much all of their US based employees
got cut and it.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Was so I got laid off essentially.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Yeah, So it just came as a surprise, and I
was like, Okay, hey, well I'm already DJing, like why
not and I lean into that versus going, you know,
back into the corporate world and decided to sit here
and go on interviews and job applications and all of that.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Well, you nervous it all though, because I feel like
I'd be really nervous if this is what I'm gonna
I was very nervous when I took the leap into
doing all this stuff full time. So, you know, because
you're like, I could follow my face at any time,
gigs could stop rolling.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
In, you could, uh, there could be a global pandemic.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
There could be a global pandemic the moment you open
up a new studio, which is what happened to us. Uh,
you know, so all of these things could happen and
I'm always the you know, worst case scenario thinker. So
so I'm like, what am I going to do here?
I'm gonna be homeless, I'm gonna have you know, being
out of cans and stuff, losing your job kind of
randomly and then jumping this full time. I'm not at
(08:46):
that point. It's really kind of your only option, right
because it's make it is making money. It was a
side gig, right and now it's becomes your full time gig.
So what do you do with that?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Like?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Were you freaking out? Freaking out at all?
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Definitely, Like the first like I would say month, I
was just very like in a frozen state, Like what
do I do? I feel like it comes down to
faith and just like having such a strong faith that
whatever's going to happen is going to happen and only
the best things are going to happen for me. Like
why am I going to sit here and waste my
time and my energy having all of this anxiety and stress? Right,
(09:18):
just really just having that faith that I'm going to
make it.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
And look at you now.
Speaker 7 (09:23):
Having a background of marketing, I feel like, yeah, I
always feel like when you open a business, even if
it's like on your own business. You have to market
yourself and you have to know marketing, and that's perfect
that you have that to like put yourself out there,
because I feel like that's like a major like learning
curve for people that don't come from that.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
That's also something that's changed with as far as dejaing
goes over the years. Like it used to be you
went to a place or they asked you to come in,
they were asking you what kind of music you're playing?
That kind of thing, And at some point it started
shifting to how many followers do you have? What should
social media look like? That kind of thing.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
So whatever you're like up for a gig, do you
have to like what's the process you have to go
like audition for them or like play them on two
tracks or like.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
What's the yeah you're hired? Yeah, honestly, it just.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
Kind of depends.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
I did have a gig and he asked me to
send him like a mix, so I just sent him
a YouTube channel because I already have like focus on there.
So some people, you know, they don't care, or they
see me already out in public at different gigs and
they're like, I like you, I need you for my party.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
So it could go both ways.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
There sometimes is just knowing and networking with other DJs
and they already kind of know me my vibe and
so they trust me.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
So that's how you get new gigs. Basically you do
any marketing on Instagram or you.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Don't do any like paid advertising.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
It's all organic and referral. That's awesome. And you just
started doing this six years ago and look at you
now there's a full time gig.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Well Spider just realized they and one of the programs
you use is they put what Spotify integration back on
it again. Yeah, so you might be seeing them out
there in the clubs next to you. You might be doing
a DJ battles together and stuff that.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
If I do anything now, it's going to be private parties. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
What do you get paid the most? You think private
parties like corporate events or does it like like a bar.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
It can vary because just because I'm getting paid more,
sometimes I'm doing more work like on the back end,
or having to set up like set up speakers, set
up like a booth table. So sometimes you know, even
just taking like the four hundred dollars you know, three
hour gig where I can just take my laptop and
my controller and be done, you know, sometimes like something
(11:29):
like that. Technically you would get paid more for doing
less hours less work.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Do you do the thing where I don't know what
it's called. Maybe somebody can help me out here, where
you like you play a song and then underneath it
you're playing another song and then all of a sudden
you don't even realize you're into the new song. Like
you mix it all together?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
You do all that, yeah, mixing?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yeah, do you spend a lot of time working on that?
What song would go well with this song? And what
could I make that's different that you know not out there?
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Sometimes I do.
Speaker 6 (11:55):
And sometimes when I'm eating it just like happens and
I'm like, wow, that was a good idea.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Let me write this on my notes.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
So it's a happy accident. Wow, that's great. What's your
favorite genre music? If you had to pick where how
you know the music you would DJ all the time?
Speaker 4 (12:10):
What would it be? Oh?
Speaker 6 (12:11):
Gosh, see, I just love surprising people, Okay. And so
with open format I can go from like you know,
playing like tricky to like push it, and then we'll
go to like back that ass up, like we're just
like all over the place. So I like open format.
So I would say maybe like your Top forty, your throwbacks,
like sing alongs, like the fun type of music that
(12:32):
people just enjoy like.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
But if we're in your car and you have the radio,
what are you listening to?
Speaker 5 (12:38):
See? I listen to like everything.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
Okay, I don't really listen to like what I play, honestly,
I'll be listening to.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Like opera right the time.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
You're just so yeah, sometimes I will.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
That's when I was like full time djang, I listen
to podcasts on the way home. I didn't want to
hear music.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Yeah, you're done, that is true.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
So you listen anything but Top forty basically at this point, I.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Mean, I'll listen to like the Weekend and I'll listen
to more like hip hop, yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
I want to know a favorite of venue to.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Play it right now?
Speaker 5 (13:08):
I would say hotel Vin. I was just there last night.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
It's in grape Vine, but people are there just to
have fun and they're actually dancing, versus a lot of
clubs nowadays, I feel like people are just there to
chit chat.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Talks near the train track, right, Yeah, I've seen it
now do you talk on the mic?
Speaker 8 (13:26):
Do you let everybody get up and you do that
kind of stuff? You don't, so you're not your pass call.
But I'm like, but you don't.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Do that very okay, not a strip club DJ.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Yeah, Well you know some people like.
Speaker 8 (13:37):
It's Catherine's twenty sixth birthday today, Everybody's standing up.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
You don't do that kind of like a private party.
Like I feel like that's where.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
You get Does it feel opera doing it?
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Though? Oh?
Speaker 6 (13:47):
Yeah sometimes because I feel like I have a very
light voice and so I almost have to like cut
the music to to like yell.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
So yeah, you don't seem like a person that would
be out at a club at two am, you know
what I mean, Like you don't have that personality, but
you are out a club at two am, Yeah, playing
this music.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
When you walk to them all like this is the DJ?
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yeah, very formal, like.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Okay, business casual? Yeah, but do you so?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Do you?
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Is that the other thing too? It's like sleep schedule, right,
because some gigs are at like two or three o'clock
in the morning. What it's sleep because you have to
do all these things at crazy hours sometimes and you
got maybe have a gig in the morning, a wedding
or something in the morning. So how do you manage that?
Speaker 5 (14:26):
Yeah, sometimes it's tough.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Sometimes the weekends, I don't get sleep or it's like
two or three hours here and there, just sleeping in
between gigs.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Cat Now, but you get a chance to go to
all these cool places around Dallas in the DFW area.
What is your if you were not working, what were
the top three places in Dallas you would go to
just to hang out.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
See, I don't even I don't even get to go
out like that. I don't even know what's out there
that would.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Be really because you're you're working.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
Yeah, I don't even know what the cool spots are.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Even though you're there. You just you're just not that's
not what you're You're not focusing on that, you're focusing on.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Where do you think that's the best crowds right now? Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:03):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
That's a good But the one you said sounds like
pretty awesome.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
Hotel ven is fun if you want to dance, turn up.
They also have like lots of decorations right now for
like Christmas, So it depends on what you're into or
if you want like a more chill Vibe. I used
to DJ at Milo Butterfingers, so that's like more chill Clark.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Yeah, like that's a doctor Clark.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
So yeah, like that's a different person out there.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Yeah, it's a good fun I went there a few
months ago.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Yeah, they've renovated.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Yeah, I know. Then it's not my little bit.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I used to be. But so yeah, because the time
that you would go out is you're working, so you
don't even get a chance to go out anymore. To
have you worked with like celebrities or anything like that, No,
nothing really, So we got to elevate your game.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I guess marketing.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Yeah, oh yeah, I got to follow me know somebody
who's in marketing. But I think you can do some
really cool stuff around town. But I don't know. Like
I was, I always want to know where the hotspots
are so I could avoid them, not go there, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
Yeah, last night was wild, so many people and that's
we're again one.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yeah that's too far.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Oh whatever, dude, you could park here, you can park
up my building. We'll take the train.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Did you play the night before Thanksgiving?
Speaker 5 (16:22):
I did.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
That is the craziest night of the year.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I mean old school service industry pro right here, I
could tell you, like I I two thousand and five,
I tried to beat somebody with a ramp on Thanksgiving Eve.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
With a ramp.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Yeah, so like we were outside a bar on Lower Greenville.
He's to pick up a ramp and it's like, let
me tell the story. Story, yeah, the floor. So like
we were leaving the bar. We were leaving. We were
leaving a curtain club. No not curtain club. Tell the
story correctly, thank you.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Well, I'm trying Lizard Lounge.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
No, no, no, no, lower It's where it's where the
crown and Harp was whatever that was before. And so
there was a DJ there, which was funny. He played
for the Edge, and like there were three people in there,
and this dude like just had the music just blaring loud,
and whenever you would transition songs, like there would be
(17:19):
a lull, you know, it wouldn't be just a clean transition,
so like you could argue. You could hear people like commenting,
and I think when the music got so low, I
think he probably heard me say drunkingly, like read the room, dude,
and like all three of them just looked at me
(17:39):
because it was three people from the edge at the
DJ booth and it was my friend bartending and like
four of us at the bar, and like, as the
night went on, I drank and we shut it down.
One dude like followed us out and said something to me.
And it was outside where he's loading his car. Well,
I used the ramp from the other building where they
(18:02):
roll the trash down and I picked it up and
I threatened to beat out of him.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
But this was all this was. This is the short.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
By the way, he doesn't work in the the No,
that idustry anymore. No, as you can see why, I
work in finance. Yeah, yeah, tell that story about this
guy would open up a big account. I had to
hit him with the h This was but this is
twenty years ago. Oh yeah, it past the I mean
that place is Satches imitation.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Yeah yeah, but yeah. At one point I I fate
in to meat a person with a metal ramp. Yeah,

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yeah? I picked it up over my head.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
And well the thing is like we had already exchanged
blows and uh you know he was on the ground.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Yeah, what we had already exchanged blows? You missed up.
I would that.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Yeah, it's just yeah, and so this is the guy
the ground the edge, Yes, that is it even around anymore?
Speaker 1 (18:55):
I think it's I think I think it's a mixed
something now one two nine, right, whatever, something like that.
This is the one I was looking for.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
That's it. Some of these are misliked that.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Yeah, he gets angery. This guy has anger issues. What
are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Video of me on the internet.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
I've never I've been doing this guy for like years,
there's like five years. Maybe I've never heard this story.
He talks a lot.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I've never heard this story. Well, he was. He tells
the same story about the boxer, you know, the marine
that he beat up. He tells that story. Yeah, but
I don't know about all the little street flights. You
don't tell good story. You don't tell us good stories.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
That was well, I mean you know it was. It was.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
And that might have been actually Thanksgiving not Thanksgiving Eve.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
But either way.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Now, if we see you out an event and you're
DJing and we want to play a song, can we
go up and say, here's twenty dollars. Can you put
in lu Begas Momba number five?
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Oh god, yunny?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Yeah, Okay, you refuse that. Ye could he play by Hanson.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
If there's money?
Speaker 1 (19:50):
I don't what would you play? So if you if
that song, what would you pair it with? What does
it pair with?
Speaker 6 (19:55):
Ombob We can his reverb and play whatever, put a
bootscoot and boogie.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
You know what.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Do you have you played the Virgin Hotel?
Speaker 5 (20:06):
I don't think that I have.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
No.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
I've been there.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
That's a good spot.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
I was at it.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
What was it?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
I was at the where at the other night. I
was there a Sunday night, But I was at some
hotel the other night, the Hilton Anatole. Thats really great.
There's a great steakhouse on the top that have like
happy hour and appetizers. Top floor. You're looking over the
whole city. That had a pianist there. Get that guy
out of there. Put a DJ there. That's what I want. Actually,
(20:31):
I didn't want any music. I'm not a music fan,
so live music. When I'm at a place where I
don't expect live music and then they bring in live music,
it irritates me so much because my superpower is talking,
and if you take that away, I'm just the creepy
guy in the corner. Bob in his head. God, you know,
so I need to have the room to talk.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Can I can?
Speaker 4 (20:49):
I ask?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Go ahead?
Speaker 1 (20:50):
What's your ideal audience?
Speaker 6 (20:53):
Like what what is something that people do that they
don't know they shouldn't do?
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Mmm.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
I would say when people come up and they're asking
for just random request of like what they want to hear,
but they're not really thinking of like me playing this
like over speakers where the whole venue can hear. You know,
it's like their favorite song but it's not going to
land well. Or when people come up with their drinks
and they're holding like the drinks over like my board,
and I'm like having to push them back.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
Okay, okay, good to know. Yeah, right, because I go
out all the time.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Yeah, don't but yeah, uh do you have you had
any like scary situations with people being drunk, because I
mean that's a serious deal where somebody might be drunk
and they might try to get reckless or whatever.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Have you had anything like that.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
I've had to where like I sometimes I have to
like push people back. I feel like it's usually a
little awkward if the security is not great. I only
prefer to be at venues where the security is like
on point. Yeah, because I have been at a venue
where a man came up.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
He was drunk.
Speaker 6 (21:57):
He was trying to like push my hair back and yeah,
do not touch me.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
It was in Fort Worth.
Speaker 6 (22:05):
Okay, it was such a place called Landmark Bar.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
It doesn't matter at all. They all suck. I don't
know that was your first that was your first mistake. Yeah,
but you went to No, no, not just for Worth,
Tarrant County. So who has the crowd county? Dallas or Tarran.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
That's a no brainer.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
We should watch your say forth.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
I like Dallas.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Okay, have you grow up here?
Speaker 8 (22:31):
That did?
Speaker 4 (22:31):
I ask you that? Did you grow up here?
Speaker 5 (22:32):
I've been in DFW since I was like nine teen
years olds.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Where'd you live before?
Speaker 4 (22:36):
Were you born?
Speaker 5 (22:37):
I was wondering? Arkansas?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Actually? Okay, what's your social Security number? Well, we're gonna
get to there. Actually, we have a game we're gonna
play right now, the last four digit. Yeah, you tell
us if we're right, we'll be here for a while.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
Ye.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Well, I know you got good credit now, so uh so.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
No.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Catherine here is an expert in astrology. In fact, she
can guess with a three questions you can guess your sign.
Never wrong, She's never wrong.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
I feel like I'm very very with my sign.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Okay, I've never seen like this before in my Life's
Sore's that incredible? So go ahead, Kathlin.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
How would you describe your personality in three words?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
This is a hard one.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
At it is I would say.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Disciplined, okay, more reserved, introverted, it's.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Kind of the same. Are you organized? Yeah? Are you
a Vico?
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Wow, that's amazing. That's the first time she's ever got
a right, that's the first start, all right, Now do
the Chinese idiot. So if we want to follow you
in your adventures as a DJ, and people want to
hire you to do more upscale stuff with celebrities and
you know, at the Version hotel or whatever, where do
they can contact you? How they get a hold of you?
Speaker 6 (23:55):
I'm mostly on Instagram, okay. I also have like a YouTube.
Facebook don't really use, but I have it, And I
do have a TikTok, but my TikTok is mostly like
workout and fitness related.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Okay, what's your Instagram handle?
Speaker 6 (24:10):
It is at DJ Tiffany Noir and it's spelled n
O I R E.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Anything. We didn't mention anything. We didn't talk about anything
we want to talk about. This is your time. I
know we talked about on the way up here about
stranger things. I have not seen that and she hadn't
seen it yet. It's only been you know, ten years.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
One question, go ahead, dang it, I had it, and
you started talking about the stranger things. I forgot.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Oh, I got a real quick question. What's your attitude
on the sink button?
Speaker 5 (24:40):
The sink button?
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (24:41):
Oh, I don't use it like at all.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Nobody uses it. I swear nobody uses it.
Speaker 5 (24:49):
The lazy DJs do.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
That would be saying I use it all the time
I hit the thing.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Oh, I remember my question? Have you written any of
your own music yet?
Speaker 5 (24:57):
I have not.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Is it something you want to do?
Speaker 5 (25:00):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
I do like making like my own mashups, which is
really fun, but I haven't actually done. I feel like
that takes more like production and a more of like
knowledge base of music, which I don't really have that
to like build up an actual track. I feel like
it takes so much more work than what people actually
think because it's so common to see that, like on
TikTok and stuff.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Now. Yeah, what would So that's a dumb question. I
was going to say, if like Catherine's birthday was going,
what would be the first song you would play?
Speaker 6 (25:29):
Yeah, you might like would you like Pink Pony Club?
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (25:33):
Yeah, like Dancing Queen?
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yeah? Probably Stranger Things. Going back to that, you have
to get on that. I know you don't have a
whole lot of time. Well you do during the week, right,
I do? Yeaheah, you have plenty of time during the week,
So go and get your little changed while you get there,
change it well, watch Netflix and watch The Strange of Things,
and I think you might appreciate it. Okay, And it's
going to be the end. You have plenty of time
to catch up because January first is the finale. Okay,
(25:57):
so you might be djaing January first.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Is she going to give us a book report or something?
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Yeah, maybe she could throw the you know, would be
great if you throw the theme song, and yeah, that
would be incredible. I would, I would, I would cry.
I would just if I'm at if I'm at a
club or something and they.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Be at a place she's gonna I.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Might get invited and I'll turn it down. But you know,
if I was there and you're playing you know, I
don't know Ying Ain't Twins, and all of a sudden
it goes into the Strangers. I would I would just
start crying.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Yeah, follow up with the X Files theme.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Yeah, good, and then we start trek at the end
a little night. Oh my gosh, I'll have you DJ
my my birthday party.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
You can find like TV show mixes online. Problem.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Yeah, but I would like to have you know, Ying
Ain't Twins to uh stranger thing. That could be great
to do a TV DJ mix. I mean you have
to end it with either Hill Street Blues or.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Taxi Golden Girls.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Golden Girl and Taxi is the oultro to Taxi is
just fans.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
I can't remember what that sounds like.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Either, you got enough imagination, I'll make it that you
would have would you're at a club? No, that's the intro.
That's the intro, the outro. Yeah, because the as got
the outro. Yeah, that intro makes me want to fall.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
The rings, Yeah, I love that. Black knew that that
was the end. There you good, it's yeah, it's I
wouldn't end with that.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Could you do anything with that?
Speaker 4 (27:35):
On top of yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:36):
She commuted great, what was that Mike Post. I don't
know it's Mike Post. Yeah, I do like I do
like that ending, but I don't know what you could
do with that. But yeah, if I end up doing
my big birthday bash that I want to do next year,
which by the way, I'm already talking myself out of
it because I'm like, it's too much, it's too much.
(27:59):
But if I end up doing that, we'll have DJ
Tiffany there, all right, DJ Tiffany ne War, I like that.
Anything you want to talk about before we roll out.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
I would say the one thing that is really important
to me is like mindset.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
I feel like a lot of DJs maybe don't work
on their personal development or like their personal growth, and
I feel like mindset is really like the key to
anything in life.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
So work on your because that helps you with everything,
that helps you in the business side, that helps you
with Because some DJs, you know, we all know them,
nobody in this building, but there's some DJs that we
know will leave unmentioned that may get have two gigs
one weekend and they get plastered one night, they show
up late or unprepared for the next or not at
all for the next event. And a lot of that,
(28:42):
like you said, comes back to discipline, mindset and all
that stuff. Right, and if you do that, you're not
gonna get booked very much.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Right.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
So well, perfect, Well, thank you so much for coming out.
Speaker 7 (28:51):
I want question go ahead if you could, if you
could DJ for any celebrity or any event, what would
it be or who would they be or what would
it be?
Speaker 6 (29:00):
I would feel like maybe like even an artist would
be fun, like Tate McCrae.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
I feel like, oh, yeah, she.
Speaker 6 (29:06):
Would be a lot of fun, or like Angelina Jolie
or you know, like I don't know, like girl Power.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
Yeah, it would definitely be a female for sure, like
a battie.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Now ask her, would you rather from the thing that
we did?
Speaker 7 (29:18):
Oh? Do you watch it? Or have you seen it?
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Stephen King?
Speaker 6 (29:21):
What?
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Let me ask you?
Speaker 1 (29:22):
What do you watch?
Speaker 4 (29:26):
Hmm?
Speaker 5 (29:26):
I really like Star Wars Mandalorian.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Okay, so you're nerdy, but you're you're on the bad
side of the hard side. You should be on the
Star Trek side.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Don't fall for it. Don't fall for it.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
If we have so much Star Trek stuff in here,
not one. Actually, we do have one Star Wars thing
in here. That's only because the security guard downstairs gave
me that.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
But that was it.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Mandalorian, Star Wars, what else more sci fi stuff?
Speaker 5 (29:48):
I just well finished the Blacklist. I don't know that's crime.
Speaker 8 (29:52):
Yeah, Firelight Zone, I haven't seen that. Okay, we'll get
your list and my homework.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Yeah right, yeah, maybe because I think that'd be cool,
because you could you can put some of those things
into your mix, you know, something like that.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
I'm not a DJ. Don't take advice from me, but anyway,
thank you so much, Tiffanie. It's pleasure meeting you for
having me. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (00:06):
Michael, those you read will do uh or something like this.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
I can't hear you.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
I'm just a baze.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
That's what you're thinking about.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
This is m Z.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Now, Tiffany, how are you? How are you good? So
(00:53):
let's talk about who you are, what you do? Uh?
Take your coming out and joining us in this very
h cold weather today.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Absolutely, thank you so much for having Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
So I know two things about you. I know you're
a DJ and you drive a really cool You drive
a cooler car than I do.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I do.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
I love my car.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
That's cooler than kid my daily driver. Sorry everybody.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Okay, so we have two what are your two cars?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
So?
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I have an Accura that looks like it was on
the set of Chernobyl And then I have a did
you like you know how to give me your exact age?
We give me a range, a five year range.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
I'm there.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Okay, So you probably are old enough to remember there's
a show called night Rider. Do you remember a night Rider?
Kind of Okay, So it is a car. It was
like the first talking car AI all that stuff. I
have one of those, so it doesn't drive by itself. Unfortunately,
I still have to drive it. What is that pomping?
Speaker 4 (01:49):
I wanted? I think, And this thing's going out?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
All right, hang on, I'll turn it off for now.
Let me know when you get it. Is it good?
Speaker 4 (01:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
All right, it seems okay for now, we'll see. Yeah,
I got the night Write a Car and that's it.
So I would say the night Write a Car would
be slightly clear, only because I had a TV show.
But your car is a what I have a Portia
Macon and I don't even know what that is, but
it sounds expensive and really cool like suv is.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
Yeah, it is an suv, but it still has like
the Chrono package, so you can turn it into sport
mode and then you could also hit like the launch.
So if you want to go like super fast really quick.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Wow, let me ask you this though, car to car.
Can your car go turbo boost over like a semi
truck like mine can in the TV show?
Speaker 5 (02:37):
It might be an expensive yeah, adventure?
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Right?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Are you a car person? Do you like cars?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Like?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Why this car?
Speaker 6 (02:45):
I don't know, you know, I was looking at new cars.
I did have a Jeep Cherokey beforehand, and my mom
was like, why don't you just like look at some
luxury cars because some of the newer cars, like the Kias,
the price range was almost just as much as a
luxury vehicle, right, And so when I drove it, I
was like, I feel like, this is it. The hood
of it is kind of slanted down versus you know,
(03:05):
like some of the cars they're more up and I'm like,
I can't see over.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Right, so it kind of slants down.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
It's just very sporty, very luxury. But of course I'm
in DJ so I also need room for equipment.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
That's true, yeah, the SUV, So getting that car, so
my first thing with it, I would think is like
maintenance has to be super expensive.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
You know. I did get maintenance package, so like my
first couple of like old changes and stuff were all free,
but now they were like, do you want to do
the wiper blades, And of course, you know, being a female,
I'm like, yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
No problem.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
Wiper braids were like two hundred dollars, so just say
no to the wiper blades.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
But other than that, oil changes about what you expect
on a normal car for the most part, Okay, could
you take it like quick car and get it done
if you wanted to, or do you take it to
the dealer.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
Every time, I've taken it to the dealership because it
was like covered under like the warranties. So far, I've
just done dealership and they actually send you like a
whole like video of everything and explain everything that they're doing.
So you definitely get that like luxury experience when you
go to the dealership.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
So I've wanted to get a luxury car, but I've
always been afraid of because you can really get one
at a good price, Like you said, you can get
a Kia, a really nice Kia, or you can get
a luxury car, but I'm always worried about, you know,
how much am I going to pay when something goes out?
So you want a car person at all until you've
really got this.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Right, Yeah, I really love like I used to have
like a go cart as a kid, so I feel
like that, and like ATVs, I always like love stuff
like that, so I feel like maybe that played a
role in it. But yeah, now I'm like, oh my gosh,
Like every time I hear a loud car, I'm like,
what is it?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
That's cool? All right, So you're a DJ, and you
DJ a lot of spots around town that we used
to frequent in our youth and or really before they
got too crowded. You do work every weekend during the week.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Mostly during the weekends, but sometimes I do have.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Gigs during the Louis and this is all you do.
It is like, this is what you do for your income,
and you make so much money. There's another DJ in
this building, Spider the DJ. He's in this other production room.
He and I'm sure there was times where you know,
you guys were probably up for the same gig and
they had to take you because you had the Porsche,
you know what I mean. They're like, well, it's either
Tiffany or Spider, and she's got a cooler car that I.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Do feel like sometimes it's easier to get gigs being
a female, because there's not many female DJs in general.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
And if there are, they're very much niched into like
a certain genre where you're doing everything right. You can
form open format. So how did you get into doing that?
Speaker 6 (05:30):
So guy I used to date a long time ago,
he was a DJ, and I just started going to
his gigs and they were a lot of fun. I
really loved it, and he was like, hey, you have
a great music choice, like.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Why don't you be a DJ? And I was like,
you know, I'm not really.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
Sure, but I took some online classes started picking it
up and here we are.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
What really? So just so do you beat him out
on gigs now?
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Oh yeah, friends were not together anymore.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
Sometimes he will even give me his gigs and people
sometimes prefer me.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
That's awesome. So do you have to starty? Like I
know when Spider was DJing actively, he would be hours
and hours, you know, looking through music and listening to stuff.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Yeah, way, way more work off that no one ever
sees than when you're on stage.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yeah, so is that what you do during the week?
Is it more just a lot of homework? What's out?
What are people listening to?
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Like?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
How does that all work?
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (06:23):
So depending on the type of gig and the venue
that I have. Some people are very like specific Like
I did a seventies party and she only wanted seventies music,
so I spent a good probably like four or five
hours of prep time downloading all of the songs that
she wanted. So it really just depends on the gig
and if it's like a private event or if I'm
(06:43):
going to like a bar club. But I do spend
a lot of time downloading new music, and I also
play music videos at certain venues. So it's making sure
I'm downloading like the MP four instead of like the
MP three five.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Yeah too.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
So before all that, before you started in this guy,
were you in the music at all? Was that kind
of your your love language?
Speaker 6 (07:04):
I like music, but actually I used to work for
a full time corporate job doing marketing. Okay, so that's
what I was doing up until like March of this year.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Really, yeah, Because I feel like I've followed you for
a little bit, knowing that you're a DJ on Instagram
or something on Facebook. I had seen you around for
a while. I thought you've been doing this for a
long time. It felt like, I mean you have, but
it wasn't a full time gig.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
It's like about six years.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Okay, yeah, yeah, that sounds about right. But just went
in a full time gig until this year, right, wow?
And then when did you focus? Was that a big
leap trying to like, hey, I'm gonna stop with this,
you know, healthcare and all this stuff that I've had
here and take the leap into being my own boss.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
Yeah, it wasn't. It wasn't really. I guess it was
kind of a choice, but it wasn't. At the place
where I was at, they were downsizing and outsourcing labor
and so pretty much all of their US based employees
got cut and it.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Was so I got laid off essentially.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Yeah, So it just came as a surprise, and I
was like, Okay, hey, well I'm already DJing, like why
not and I lean into that versus going, you know,
back into the corporate world and decided to sit here
and go on interviews and job applications and all of that.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Well, you nervous it all though, because I feel like
I'd be really nervous if this is what I'm gonna
I was very nervous when I took the leap into
doing all this stuff full time. So, you know, because
you're like, I could follow my face at any time,
gigs could stop rolling.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
In, you could, uh, there could be a global pandemic.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
There could be a global pandemic the moment you open
up a new studio, which is what happened to us. Uh,
you know, so all of these things could happen and
I'm always the you know, worst case scenario thinker. So
so I'm like, what am I going to do here?
I'm gonna be homeless, I'm gonna have you know, being
out of cans and stuff, losing your job kind of
randomly and then jumping this full time. I'm not at
(08:46):
that point. It's really kind of your only option, right
because it's make it is making money. It was a
side gig, right and now it's becomes your full time gig.
So what do you do with that?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Like?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Were you freaking out? Freaking out at all?
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Definitely, Like the first like I would say month, I
was just very like in a frozen state, Like what
do I do? I feel like it comes down to
faith and just like having such a strong faith that
whatever's going to happen is going to happen and only
the best things are going to happen for me. Like
why am I going to sit here and waste my
time and my energy having all of this anxiety and stress? Right,
(09:18):
just really just having that faith that I'm going to
make it.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
And look at you now.
Speaker 7 (09:23):
Having a background of marketing, I feel like, yeah, I
always feel like when you open a business, even if
it's like on your own business. You have to market
yourself and you have to know marketing, and that's perfect
that you have that to like put yourself out there,
because I feel like that's like a major like learning
curve for people that don't come from that.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
That's also something that's changed with as far as dejaing
goes over the years. Like it used to be you
went to a place or they asked you to come in,
they were asking you what kind of music you're playing?
That kind of thing, And at some point it started
shifting to how many followers do you have? What should
social media look like? That kind of thing.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
So whatever you're like up for a gig, do you
have to like what's the process you have to go
like audition for them or like play them on two
tracks or like.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
What's the yeah you're hired? Yeah, honestly, it just.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
Kind of depends.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
I did have a gig and he asked me to
send him like a mix, so I just sent him
a YouTube channel because I already have like focus on there.
So some people, you know, they don't care, or they
see me already out in public at different gigs and
they're like, I like you, I need you for my party.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
So it could go both ways.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
There sometimes is just knowing and networking with other DJs
and they already kind of know me my vibe and
so they trust me.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
So that's how you get new gigs. Basically you do
any marketing on Instagram or you.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Don't do any like paid advertising.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
It's all organic and referral. That's awesome. And you just
started doing this six years ago and look at you
now there's a full time gig.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Well Spider just realized they and one of the programs
you use is they put what Spotify integration back on
it again. Yeah, so you might be seeing them out
there in the clubs next to you. You might be doing
a DJ battles together and stuff that.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
If I do anything now, it's going to be private parties. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
What do you get paid the most? You think private
parties like corporate events or does it like like a bar.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
It can vary because just because I'm getting paid more,
sometimes I'm doing more work like on the back end,
or having to set up like set up speakers, set
up like a booth table. So sometimes you know, even
just taking like the four hundred dollars you know, three
hour gig where I can just take my laptop and
my controller and be done, you know, sometimes like something
(11:29):
like that. Technically you would get paid more for doing
less hours less work.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Do you do the thing where I don't know what
it's called. Maybe somebody can help me out here, where
you like you play a song and then underneath it
you're playing another song and then all of a sudden
you don't even realize you're into the new song. Like
you mix it all together?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
You do all that, yeah, mixing?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yeah, do you spend a lot of time working on that?
What song would go well with this song? And what
could I make that's different that you know not out there?
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Sometimes I do.
Speaker 6 (11:55):
And sometimes when I'm eating it just like happens and
I'm like, wow, that was a good idea.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Let me write this on my notes.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
So it's a happy accident. Wow, that's great. What's your
favorite genre music? If you had to pick where how
you know the music you would DJ all the time?
Speaker 4 (12:10):
What would it be? Oh?
Speaker 6 (12:11):
Gosh, see, I just love surprising people, Okay. And so
with open format I can go from like you know,
playing like tricky to like push it, and then we'll
go to like back that ass up, like we're just
like all over the place. So I like open format.
So I would say maybe like your Top forty, your throwbacks,
like sing alongs, like the fun type of music that
(12:32):
people just enjoy like.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
But if we're in your car and you have the radio,
what are you listening to?
Speaker 5 (12:38):
See? I listen to like everything.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
Okay, I don't really listen to like what I play, honestly,
I'll be listening to.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Like opera right the time.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
You're just so yeah, sometimes I will.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
That's when I was like full time djang, I listen
to podcasts on the way home. I didn't want to
hear music.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Yeah, you're done, that is true.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
So you listen anything but Top forty basically at this point, I.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Mean, I'll listen to like the Weekend and I'll listen
to more like hip hop, yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
I want to know a favorite of venue to.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Play it right now?
Speaker 5 (13:08):
I would say hotel Vin. I was just there last night.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
It's in grape Vine, but people are there just to
have fun and they're actually dancing, versus a lot of
clubs nowadays, I feel like people are just there to
chit chat.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Talks near the train track, right, Yeah, I've seen it
now do you talk on the mic?
Speaker 8 (13:26):
Do you let everybody get up and you do that
kind of stuff? You don't, so you're not your pass call.
But I'm like, but you don't.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Do that very okay, not a strip club DJ.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Yeah, Well you know some people like.
Speaker 8 (13:37):
It's Catherine's twenty sixth birthday today, Everybody's standing up.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
You don't do that kind of like a private party.
Like I feel like that's where.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
You get Does it feel opera doing it?
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Though? Oh?
Speaker 6 (13:47):
Yeah sometimes because I feel like I have a very
light voice and so I almost have to like cut
the music to to like yell.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
So yeah, you don't seem like a person that would
be out at a club at two am, you know
what I mean, Like you don't have that personality, but
you are out a club at two am, Yeah, playing
this music.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
When you walk to them all like this is the DJ?
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yeah, very formal, like.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Okay, business casual? Yeah, but do you so?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Do you?
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Is that the other thing too? It's like sleep schedule, right,
because some gigs are at like two or three o'clock
in the morning. What it's sleep because you have to
do all these things at crazy hours sometimes and you
got maybe have a gig in the morning, a wedding
or something in the morning. So how do you manage that?
Speaker 5 (14:26):
Yeah, sometimes it's tough.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Sometimes the weekends, I don't get sleep or it's like
two or three hours here and there, just sleeping in
between gigs.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Cat Now, but you get a chance to go to
all these cool places around Dallas in the DFW area.
What is your if you were not working, what were
the top three places in Dallas you would go to
just to hang out.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
See, I don't even I don't even get to go
out like that. I don't even know what's out there
that would.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Be really because you're you're working.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
Yeah, I don't even know what the cool spots are.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Even though you're there. You just you're just not that's
not what you're You're not focusing on that, you're focusing on.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Where do you think that's the best crowds right now? Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:03):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
That's a good But the one you said sounds like
pretty awesome.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
Hotel ven is fun if you want to dance, turn up.
They also have like lots of decorations right now for
like Christmas, So it depends on what you're into or
if you want like a more chill Vibe. I used
to DJ at Milo Butterfingers, so that's like more chill Clark.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Yeah, like that's a doctor Clark.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
So yeah, like that's a different person out there.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Yeah, it's a good fun I went there a few
months ago.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Yeah, they've renovated.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Yeah, I know. Then it's not my little bit.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I used to be. But so yeah, because the time
that you would go out is you're working, so you
don't even get a chance to go out anymore. To
have you worked with like celebrities or anything like that, No,
nothing really, So we got to elevate your game.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I guess marketing.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Yeah, oh yeah, I got to follow me know somebody
who's in marketing. But I think you can do some
really cool stuff around town. But I don't know. Like
I was, I always want to know where the hotspots
are so I could avoid them, not go there, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
Yeah, last night was wild, so many people and that's
we're again one.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yeah that's too far.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Oh whatever, dude, you could park here, you can park
up my building. We'll take the train.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Did you play the night before Thanksgiving?
Speaker 5 (16:22):
I did.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
That is the craziest night of the year.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I mean old school service industry pro right here, I
could tell you, like I I two thousand and five,
I tried to beat somebody with a ramp on Thanksgiving Eve.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
With a ramp.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Yeah, so like we were outside a bar on Lower Greenville.
He's to pick up a ramp and it's like, let
me tell the story. Story, yeah, the floor. So like
we were leaving the bar. We were leaving. We were
leaving a curtain club. No not curtain club. Tell the
story correctly, thank you.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Well, I'm trying Lizard Lounge.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
No, no, no, no, lower It's where it's where the
crown and Harp was whatever that was before. And so
there was a DJ there, which was funny. He played
for the Edge, and like there were three people in there,
and this dude like just had the music just blaring loud,
and whenever you would transition songs, like there would be
(17:19):
a lull, you know, it wouldn't be just a clean transition,
so like you could argue. You could hear people like commenting,
and I think when the music got so low, I
think he probably heard me say drunkingly, like read the room, dude,
and like all three of them just looked at me
(17:39):
because it was three people from the edge at the
DJ booth and it was my friend bartending and like
four of us at the bar, and like, as the
night went on, I drank and we shut it down.
One dude like followed us out and said something to me.
And it was outside where he's loading his car. Well,
I used the ramp from the other building where they
(18:02):
roll the trash down and I picked it up and
I threatened to beat out of him.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
But this was all this was. This is the short.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
By the way, he doesn't work in the the No,
that idustry anymore. No, as you can see why, I
work in finance. Yeah, yeah, tell that story about this
guy would open up a big account. I had to
hit him with the h This was but this is
twenty years ago. Oh yeah, it past the I mean
that place is Satches imitation.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Yeah yeah, but yeah. At one point I I fate
in to meat a person with a metal ramp. Yeah,
do you pick it up?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yeah? I picked it up over my head.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
And well the thing is like we had already exchanged
blows and uh you know he was on the ground.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Yeah, what we had already exchanged blows? You missed up.
I would that.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Yeah, it's just yeah, and so this is the guy
the ground the edge, Yes, that is it even around anymore?
Speaker 1 (18:55):
I think it's I think I think it's a mixed
something now one two nine, right, whatever, something like that.
This is the one I was looking for.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
That's it. Some of these are misliked that.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Yeah, he gets angery. This guy has anger issues. What
are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Video of me on the internet.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
I've never I've been doing this guy for like years,
there's like five years. Maybe I've never heard this story.
He talks a lot.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I've never heard this story. Well, he was. He tells
the same story about the boxer, you know, the marine
that he beat up. He tells that story. Yeah, but
I don't know about all the little street flights. You
don't tell good story. You don't tell us good stories.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
That was well, I mean you know it was. It was.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
And that might have been actually Thanksgiving not Thanksgiving Eve.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
But either way.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Now, if we see you out an event and you're
DJing and we want to play a song, can we
go up and say, here's twenty dollars. Can you put
in lu Begas Momba number five?
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Oh god, yunny?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Yeah, Okay, you refuse that. Ye could he play by Hanson.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
If there's money?
Speaker 1 (19:50):
I don't what would you play? So if you if
that song, what would you pair it with? What does
it pair with?
Speaker 6 (19:55):
Ombob We can his reverb and play whatever, put a
bootscoot and boogie.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
You know what.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Do you have you played the Virgin Hotel?
Speaker 5 (20:06):
I don't think that I have.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
No.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
I've been there.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
That's a good spot.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
I was at it.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
What was it?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
I was at the where at the other night. I
was there a Sunday night, But I was at some
hotel the other night, the Hilton Anatole. Thats really great.
There's a great steakhouse on the top that have like
happy hour and appetizers. Top floor. You're looking over the
whole city. That had a pianist there. Get that guy
out of there. Put a DJ there. That's what I want. Actually,
(20:31):
I didn't want any music. I'm not a music fan,
so live music. When I'm at a place where I
don't expect live music and then they bring in live music,
it irritates me so much because my superpower is talking,
and if you take that away, I'm just the creepy
guy in the corner. Bob in his head. God, you know,
so I need to have the room to talk.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Can I can?
Speaker 4 (20:49):
I ask?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Go ahead?
Speaker 1 (20:50):
What's your ideal audience?
Speaker 6 (20:53):
Like what what is something that people do that they
don't know they shouldn't do?
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Mmm.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
I would say when people come up and they're asking
for just random request of like what they want to hear,
but they're not really thinking of like me playing this
like over speakers where the whole venue can hear. You know,
it's like their favorite song but it's not going to
land well. Or when people come up with their drinks
and they're holding like the drinks over like my board,
and I'm like having to push them back.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
Okay, okay, good to know. Yeah, right, because I go
out all the time.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Yeah, don't but yeah, uh do you have you had
any like scary situations with people being drunk, because I
mean that's a serious deal where somebody might be drunk
and they might try to get reckless or whatever.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Have you had anything like that.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
I've had to where like I sometimes I have to
like push people back. I feel like it's usually a
little awkward if the security is not great. I only
prefer to be at venues where the security is like
on point. Yeah, because I have been at a venue
where a man came up.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
He was drunk.
Speaker 6 (21:57):
He was trying to like push my hair back and yeah,
do not touch me.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
It was in Fort Worth.
Speaker 6 (22:05):
Okay, it was such a place called Landmark Bar.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
It doesn't matter at all. They all suck. I don't
know that was your first that was your first mistake. Yeah,
but you went to No, no, not just for Worth,
Tarrant County. So who has the crowd county? Dallas or Tarran.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
That's a no brainer.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
We should watch your say forth.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
I like Dallas.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Okay, have you grow up here?
Speaker 8 (22:31):

Speaker 4 (22:31):

years olds.

Disciplined, okay, more reserved, introverted, it's.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Kind of the same. Are you organized? Yeah? Are you
a Vico?
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Wow, that's amazing. That's the first time she's ever got
a right, that's the first start, all right, Now do
the Chinese idiot. So if we want to follow you
in your adventures as a DJ, and people want to
hire you to do more upscale stuff with celebrities and
you know, at the Version hotel or whatever, where do
they can contact you? How they get a hold of you?
Speaker 6 (23:55):
I'm mostly on Instagram, okay. I also have like a YouTube.
Facebook don't really use, but I have it, And I
do have a TikTok, but my TikTok is mostly like
workout and fitness related.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Okay, what's your Instagram handle?
Speaker 6 (24:10):
It is at DJ Tiffany Noir and it's spelled n
O I R E.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Anything. We didn't mention anything. We didn't talk about anything
we want to talk about. This is your time. I
know we talked about on the way up here about
stranger things. I have not seen that and she hadn't
seen it yet. It's only been you know, ten years.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
One question, go ahead, dang it, I had it, and
you started talking about the stranger things. I forgot.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Oh, I got a real quick question. What's your attitude
on the sink button?
Speaker 5 (24:40):
The sink button?
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (24:41):
Oh, I don't use it like at all.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Nobody uses it. I swear nobody uses it.
Speaker 5 (24:49):
The lazy DJs do.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
That would be saying I use it all the time
I hit the thing.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Oh, I remember my question? Have you written any of
your own music yet?
Speaker 5 (24:57):
I have not.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Is it something you want to do?
Speaker 5 (25:00):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
I do like making like my own mashups, which is
really fun, but I haven't actually done. I feel like
that takes more like production and a more of like
knowledge base of music, which I don't really have that
to like build up an actual track. I feel like
it takes so much more work than what people actually
think because it's so common to see that, like on
TikTok and stuff.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Now. Yeah, what would So that's a dumb question. I
was going to say, if like Catherine's birthday was going,

to get on that. I know you don't have a
whole lot of time. Well you do during the week, right,
I do? Yeaheah, you have plenty of time during the week,

Speaker 4 (26:00):
Is she going to give us a book report or something?
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Yeah, maybe she could throw the you know, would be
great if you throw the theme song, and yeah, that

club or something and they.

if I was there and you're playing you know, I
don't know Ying Ain't Twins, and all of a sudden
it goes into the Strangers. I would I would just
start crying.

Yeah, good, and then we start trek at the end
a little night. Oh my gosh, I'll have you DJ

Speaker 4 (26:40):
You can find like TV show mixes online. Problem.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Yeah, but I would like to have you know, Ying
Ain't Twins to uh stranger thing. That could be great
to do a TV DJ mix. I mean you have
to end it with either Hill Street Blues or.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Taxi Golden Girls.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Golden Girl and Taxi is the oultro to Taxi is
just fans.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
I can't remember what that sounds like.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Either, you got enough imagination, I'll make it that you
would have would you're at a club? No, that's the intro.

the outro. Yeah, that intro makes me want to fall.

The rings, Yeah, I love that. Black knew that that
was the end. There you good, it's yeah, it's I

Speaker 4 (27:35):
On top of yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:36):
She commuted great, what was that Mike Post. I don't

like that ending, but I don't know what you could
do with that. But yeah, if I end up doing
my big birthday bash that I want to do next year,
which by the way, I'm already talking myself out of
it because I'm like, it's too much, it's too much.
(27:59):
But if I end up doing that, we'll have DJ
Tiffany there, all right, DJ Tiffany ne War, I like that.
Anything you want to talk about before we roll out.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
I would say the one thing that is really important
to me is like mindset.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
I feel like a lot of DJs maybe don't work
on their personal development or like their personal growth, and
I feel like mindset is really like the key to
anything in life.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
So work on your because that helps you with everything,
that helps you in the business side, that helps you
with Because some DJs, you know, we all know them,
nobody in this building, but there's some DJs that we
know will leave unmentioned that may get have two gigs
one weekend and they get plastered one night, they show
up late or unprepared for the next or not at
all for the next event. And a lot of that,
(28:42):
like you said, comes back to discipline, mindset and all
that stuff. Right, and if you do that, you're not
gonna get booked very much.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Right.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
So well, perfect, Well, thank you so much for coming out.
Speaker 7 (28:51):
I want question go ahead if you could, if you
could DJ for any celebrity or any event, what would
it be or who would they be or what would
it be?
Speaker 6 (29:00):
I would feel like maybe like even an artist would
be fun, like Tate McCrae.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
I feel like, oh, yeah, she.
Speaker 6 (29:06):
Would be a lot of fun, or like Angelina Jolie
or you know, like I don't know, like girl Power.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
Yeah, it would definitely be a female for sure, like
a battie.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Now ask her, would you rather from the thing that
we did?
Speaker 7 (29:18):
Oh? Do you watch it? Or have you seen it?
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Stephen King?
Speaker 6 (29:21):
What?
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Let me ask you?
Speaker 1 (29:22):
What do you watch?
Speaker 4 (29:26):
Hmm?
Speaker 5 (29:26):
I really like Star Wars Mandalorian.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Okay, so you're nerdy, but you're you're on the bad
side of the hard side. You should be on the
Star Trek side.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Don't fall for it. Don't fall for it.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
If we have so much Star Trek stuff in here,
not one. Actually, we do have one Star Wars thing
in here. That's only because the security guard downstairs gave
me that.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
But that was it.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Mandalorian, Star Wars, what else more sci fi stuff?
Speaker 5 (29:48):
I just well finished the Blacklist. I don't know that's crime.
Speaker 8 (29:52):
Yeah, Firelight Zone, I haven't seen that. Okay, we'll get
your list and my homework.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Yeah right, yeah, maybe because I think that'd be cool,
because you could you can put some of those things
into your mix, you know, something like that.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
