A Story of Inspiration, Passion, and Dedication
Not many people realize this, but the goals they set in lives, are in many ways a result of the surroundings they are exposed to. Even Xclusive City’s dream to become a top DJ was influenced by his father and his uncles. Born in a Carribean household to Haitian parents who migrated from Haiti to the United States, as a Haitian-American musician, Xclusive City spent a lot of his time in the company of DJs and music artists. Xclusive City’s father was a member of a local church and his uncle was a member of several Haitian bands, which exposed the little one to the world of DJing. He accompanied his uncles to the concerts and assisted the band members set up their equipment in the clubs.
Most of his childhood was spent in clubs where his uncles and the bands were performing. He admired how these musicians were able to make the entire audience dance to the rhythm and beats. Little did the young boy know that spending time with his father and his uncles would set the course of his entire life? Xclusive City wished to experience the sense of satisfaction that the DJs felt when people danced to the music they created. At this exact moment, the young and passionate Xclusive City made up his mind; it was music that he wanted to pursue.
Not just his father, but also the environment he spent time in, became a source of inspiration and sowed the seed of a dream – to become a professional DJ. The brewing passion led the young boy to request his parents for turntables. Fortunately, his wish was granted on his 15th birthday when his parents gifted him turntables.
