iQ: DJ Craze

We capture a mental fingerprint of some of our musical and cultural heroes and preserve it in cyber-amber for the wonderment of future generations. This is the Insomniac Questionnaire.

What was your favorite toy as a child, and when and why did you stop playing with it?
Voltron… My grown ass couldn’t play with it forever.

What is the best advice you’ve ever gotten? Did you take it?
Best advice I ever got was from my mom. It was, “Whatever it is you want from life, say it out loud and it will manifest.” I took that advice, and now I’m here talking to y’all.

What part of your day do you look forward to most?
Waking up.

What’s the best time you’ve ever had without spending money?
Being home with my fam, doing nothing. Just chilling.

What is your most treasured possession?
My six gold decks. Represents my passion and hard work.

What is your favorite word?
Yes.

Do you owe an apology to anyone?
I’m sure I do, but… ain’t no looking back.

When is the last time you were really scared?
When I found out I had lower-back arthritis.

What is the last thing you googled?
How to properly spell “Fuckboi.”

What’s the last sound you would want to hear before you die?
An 808.

Do you have any recurring dreams or nightmares?
I tend to have that dream where I’m talking to somebody and my teeth start falling out. I hear it has something to do with my insecurities, so that’s all good.

How do you measure success?
Happiness.

If you could have one magical/super power, what would you want, and why?
I’d want the power to do everything… well, just ‘cause I’d know everything. What more could you ever want?

Have you ever had a brush with the paranormal or supernatural?
I once moved into a new house that I hated… and while we were cleaning up the kitchen, a rotten banana appeared out of nowhere. Nobody could explain how it got there, and it was just my mom and me cleaning up, so I KNOW it was neither of us. Scared the shit out of me.

What do you remember about your first kiss?
My first real kiss was awesome. Not gonna speak more about it, ‘cause it wasn’t with the wifey, so…

What four words best describe you?
Passionate. Caring. Inspirational. Awesome.

What’s the last impulsive thing you did?
Bought a Tesla.

Do you have a pet?
I’m HIGHLY allergic to animals.

What is your strongest personality trait?
My strongest personality trait is that I’m motivational. I love seeing people who deserve to win winning, and I try my best to make that happen for them.

Do you believe in any conspiracy theories or urban legends?
100 percent believe in SOME conspiracy theories! You have to look into the facts and make your own judgment about some of the things that go on this world. Urban legends, not so much.
