Excel saids: "I love dancing, and as a dj/remixer/producer I love making people react to a record."
"I love to make people dance.. So I'll take hot hiphop/r&b/reggae accapellas and put them over samples/break beats.. so that dj's in da club or the mixshow..can make it HOT..
I love studying the Indian, Latin, African, & Asian cultures and I am curious about other cultures as well. I've dj'd across the East Coast and as far away as Asia & Switzerland! I'd love to travel to Spain, Japan, The Middle East, and Italy etc.. The whole world really!!!
I'm very artistic & creative.
