If God is a DJ, then Tracy Young is the closest we mortals may get to a divine experience on the dance floor. For the last decade, this superstar DJ/producer has been responsible for elevating the sounds of dance music to heavenly heights; spinning the hottest tracks, concocting the fiercest beats, and headlining the globes largest, most exciting events. But with her latest compilation, “Genesis” and one of the headlining DJ’s for LA Pride, Tracy Young is giving fans one more reason to include her among the pantheon of DJ deities.
1.What motivated you to become a full-time DJ? That's easy....my love for MUSIC!
2.After releasing over 8 Albums what sets "Genesis" apart from the rest of your compilations? Like any album that an artist does, I think it shows growth and where somebody is musically. Compilations are sometimes are difficult for me because it's hard to express myself in 80 minutes or less. Genesis is a true representation of where I am.
3."Genesis" is not only the name of your current album, but an event that you have been producing for the last 6 years. How does producing an event compare to remixing a record? I think they are similar in that the music is what's most important. When a DJ produces an event I believe that they focus on the music first and ultimately I feel that is what is most important in creating the mood of an event.
4.You have mixed countless of remixes for high profile names like Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey and Britney Spears. What track was the most fun to remix? Why? It's hard to pick one...They all have a special place in my heart. More Recently, I think “Defying Gravity” by Idina Menzel from WICKED or “Stand Back” by Stevie Nicks were challenging remixes to create.
5.This Question is for all the curious "bachelorettes" What do you look for in a partner? Honesty and Loyalty are my biggest MUSTS in a person, friend or lover!
6.I interviewed Lady Gaga recently and she mentioned you as her favorite White Party Palm Springs artist. Dare I ask who your favorite White Party Palm Springs performer is? Lady Gaga
7.What Recording Artist would you like to work with next? Why? I would love to work with Lady Gaga because I think she has an incredible voice and is an amazing writer. I have always wanted to work with Sarah McLachlan or Annie Lennox as well.
8.You will be spinning at LA Gay Pride on June 14th. Are you bringing anything special to the turn tables? A lot of energy and vocals...signature Tracy Young.
9.What is your favorite thing about playing in Los Angeles? I love LA and want to start playing out there more often. I love the energy of the city and am making a bunch of wonderful friends there...who knows, maybe I will move there!
10.Where are your favorite hangouts in LA? The Abbey
