DJ G Kidd - DJ James Vincent

DJ G Kidd
BIO
Like many of his peers, DJ James Vincent grew up listening to and
being inspired by the trailblazing music of Run DMC, The Beastie
Boys, De La Soul and The Roots. In 2015, thanks to an encyclopedic
knowledge of music and the innate ability to intuitively read a crowd
in a darkened nightclub anywhere in the world, James is now working
alongside many of those same musical icons he grew up admiring.
His career has taken him from spinning a private party with Questlove for the New York Jets at Super Bowl XLVIII and creating a
soundtrack for 20,000 in the Sahara tent at Coachella to slots opening for John Legend at House of Blues in Los Angeles, sharing decks
with Run DMC and DJ AM and DJing for Dido on the Lilith Fair tour
and across the Atlantic to spin for Paris Fashion Week.
His remixes and songwriting credits for rockers Bush and Citizen
Cope, meanwhile, have netted him two gold records and a “Best
Song” MTV Movie Award. His original music can be heard on Entourage, An American Werewolf in Paris, Coach Carter and Accepted.
For DJ James Vincent, the key to success is simply this: “Figuring out
where to creatively take the crowd next to keep them on the floor,
making noise and having fun. It’s about creating a vibe where things
are flowing and I don’t have to think about what comes next. It just
comes to me organically and things just click.”
Armed with an extensive knowledge of Hip Hop, House, R&B,
Reggae, Rock, Pop and Mash Ups, along with an audio arsenal
consisting of more than 500 GB of MP3s loaded onto his Serato rig
and 30,000 pieces of vinyl to draw from, James is constantly focused
on creating a fresh, original listening experience.
“You’re always looking for that reaction,” he explains. “You want the
crowd to be singing along but you also want them to be surprised
and at the right moments expose them to something new. If I can use
this warehouse of musical knowledge in my head to entertain a
crowd and keep them coming back for more, I know I’m doing something right.”
