How did you start DJing?
My Pops is a DJ so I developed the passion for spinning records early in life. When other kids were playing with toys I was DJing imaginary parties on my make believe DJ equipment. Once I got old enough my dad and his partner would let me practice on their equipment. When I turned 18 I decided to DJ professionally.
How did you get the name DJ Half Pint?
In the early ninety’s I ran with a DJ crew called Battle-Dogg Productions, I used to go by Greg Nice. One day were in the lab working on a mixtape together and one of the members called me 1/2 Pint Greg Nice. I think the Half Pint was because I was so little back then. I went by that for a little while then dropped the Greg Nice and I been DJ Half Pint ever since.
Where is DJ Half Pint from, and what’s your station?
I am from Providence, RI and DJ on Hot 106 Providence, RI.
What should someone expect, at a party that you are DJing at?
People can expect to rock out & have a good time…No Boredom No Standing Around…We Party.
What makes you different from all the other DJs?
What makes me different is I DJ my way and stay within my means. While I always will play what the crowd wants to hear I don’t try to DJ outside of my style or over do it…alot of djs try to do more than they have the skill to do and the crowd that you are djing for doesn’t respond well to that.
What is your mentality before you DJ an event?
I go into every event relaxed and just taking it as what it is…Time To Go To Work.
Which is the most memorable event that you DJed at and why?
Damn, there’s so many but I would say spinning at the Lil Wayne Show at the Dunkin Donuts Center. Wayne took an hour or more to come out so I got to rock for 10,000 people for that hour.
Who or what are your biggest influences?
The biggest influences that helped me become the DJ I am today I’d have to say are Kid CaprI who helped me define what type of DJ I wanted to be (before I ever even met him), Craig G from CT who DJ’d the best party I’ve ever been in to this day, and Chubby Chub who I had the opportunity to work with and learn from.
Shout outs?
Shouts to Hot 106, Rhoaming Entertainment, Medinastyle, Starrs & Murph, GFM Fam, all my DJ friends, all the Clubs, all The promoters, and everyone that shows me love I appreciate the support.
