About Me

DJ La TonyaD

Why MUSIC? I joined the Navy in 1996 and went through the most trying depressive episode I'm sure anyone has ever experienced. I attribute my recovery to two things. JESUS and MUSIC. The only two things that were there for me while in isolation. The only two things that uplifted me. Two turntables and a mixer later, I found joy in instilling an atmosphere of peace for those who came seeking it. I couldn't offer a pill or a drink that could cure their fears and anxieties, but I could offer some good MUSIC and maybe even JESUS if they were searching. All I know is I found my cure......just thought I'd share it with the world.......it's a crazy world maybe you can find some JOY here even if for a minute....
If I'm spinnin' it, it's probably some 80'S or FUNKY AND JACKIN' OR REALLY SOULFUL,DEEP AND SEXY HOUSE TRACK, or anything OLD SCHOOL. I'll rock some Waylon Jennings when necessary.
GOOD MUSIC folks, let's make some good music for the ears of the world and the decks of the DJ's.
I'm an electrician, DJ, I produce whatever I come up with(I'll be posting some soon, this little tyke takes up a lot of time in a day), I promote parties and DJs. Temporarily on hiatus to give my son a great start in life.
DJing has increased my love and knowledge of music. If I seek fame or fortune from it, I've lost my true appreciation of all that music is. So many of you are musicians or music lovers at heart and I appreciate you because we are on the same page. We all more than likely will never know true friendship, but music unites us. Whatever you do, just simply do it for the sake of MUSIC.

Music:

You name the genre....The question is what don't I like???

VH1 Classic/MTV from the 80's,your parents' old records.

I love GOOD music of ALL genres and some stupid summertime anthems, but mainly all aspects of HOUSE MUSIC, OLD SCHOOL R&B/SOUL, FUNK, ROCK, CLASSICAL, JAZZ, JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING FROM THE 80'S (I'm stuck in the decade), CLASSIC COUNTRY.

I play stuff you forgot you liked.

My music. YOUR MUSIC.......if it's good of course.

Could it really be??

Could it truly be that Old School(Particularly the 80's) music is resurfacing? I'm truly feeling the tracks like Nelly Furtado's "Do It", Kanye West's "Good Life", Rooney's "...

If Your Music Has........

The beauty of music is that it can soothe souls, unite humanity, and even teach our children in positive or negative manners. To me, this sense of beauty is lost when the music produced no longer has ...
