Hailing from the Eastside of Chicago, DJ Preme has racked up an impressive resume and catalog of mixes. I connected with Preme to talk about the city’s influence on him and what’s next for him in 2022. Tap in below!
Hometown: Chicago (Over East) Birthday: April 1st,2000 Dream Collaboration: Metro Boomin or Pierre Bourne and to DJ with at least 2 of my favorite DJs. Two Words to Describe your style: Versatile & Electrifying Favorite Chicago Artist: Lucki or G Herbo (it's a tie lol) Top 3 Influences: Chase B, Mike P, DJ Screw Recommend 1st Listen: It's really between Nite Vision and Elite because not only are they my recent ones but I feel they are my most diverse and creative ones. I want people to listen not only for chill purposes but to kinda get the vision I'm creating and to see how they like it in my musical world!
Favorite memory/moment you have had as DJ so far? I think when I opened for Lil Keed is one of my favorite memories because it just felt different and just to hear compliments from my favorite people is always amazing to me for sure! Favorite spot in the city: JA GRILL IN HYDE BEST JAMAICAN FOOD RIGHT NOW IN CHICAGO!
How has being from the city influenced you and your craft? I feel like it's my job to include it in everything I do and to wear it on my chest & sleeve because coming from the city you're just raised differently. A lot of my life moments in Chicago went alongside a lot of music from growing up with my mom to listening to what my friends listen to. I feel like if you do anything from Chicago it's going to make you grind more or separate you from others because of our environments and how people are taught to work for things in life. What’s next for you in 2022? Hopefully, my first real “NITE SHOW”, maybe some actual music but I think right now I'm just going with the flow and trying to continue to take over the city and make even more marks for kids like me in Chicago and around the world.
