Here are some excerpts from Q&A with Cedric :

•   What would you say as the Greatest Inspiration in your life ?

Both personally and professionally music inspires me to do good in life. Because it can touch my emotions, and make me forget about all the bad things in life.

• How would you like your music to be identified and classified as against all other DJ's of the world ?

I guess I have a pretty standard answer, I try to give it my own signature style  by layering different sounds on top of each other. In this way it is possible to come up with unique sounds, something different to make the crowd go crazy. Its a lot of experimentation, trial and error.

One tip: If your struggling with a sound in your mix and it seems like you can't get it to fit right. Maybe it's good to consider removing or placing the sound somewhere at a different point in the mix..

•  Other than Music , any addiction that you have ?

At the moment I smoke cigarettes and everyone knows it's bad for your health.

• What has been your greatest learning experience till date ?

Never judge someone based on his or her appereance, you might under-estimate someone if you do.

• Alright , Were you a Bully in School anytime ?

I have made some silly jokes towards other people, but I was not the one who liked bullying people. Actually there was a kid who got bullied and felt sorry for him, So I tried cheering him up.

• When did you actually realise that Music was your calling ?

Actually it wasn't really long ago since I noticed I have some kind of obsession with music. Luckily its a positive thing, because I still have some social life left, haha ...! But to answer your question it was in September-2011, a colleague I was working with asked me to listen to his self produced game and hardcore music.So when I did I thought by myself : " It's not really my style of music but it's magical to make something like that ! " So when I asked how he did this, he invited me to check out how to make music and discuss the basics of producing. And When we did ...... I started using Reason and Pro Tools as studio software and never stopped developing myself ever after that.

• Just wanted to know are you a Book Lover as well ?

It depends on the story, I have read some books in the past and I really liked to read.....

But since I discovered music I only read about music. Mostly they are digital books.

• Now as a DJ , you make everybody go Dance on the Dance Floor with your vibes. Now Is Cedric a good dancer himself ?

I never learned any real moves, so you won't be spotting me as the first one on the dancefloor. Luckily as a DJ.... I can jump around in my booth and put my hands up !

• What has been the Best Compliment that you have ever received from any of your fans ?

There was a girl who had send me Picture of a drawing she had made for me.

It's very cool to have the feeling to be appreciated for your music and your work.

• Incase you had not been a Musician .... What would you possibly would have opted as an alternative to it ?

I would have probably gone for a sales job, I like communicating with people , interacting and making new friends and at times advising them as well.

 

• Last One and let me ask .......Does Cedric have any Phobias like say some people are scared of spiders , heights and on ... ?

That's a tough question, I can't think of something I'm really scared of !

ROCK EDITION-1

What Possibly , I would be putting across here are my Personal Opinions about Music and its Global Dynamics in the Coming Years and Possibly will try to share How I personally view , How Music in the Coming Years would Sound....

This Is The First Edition Where I share My Thoughts About

ROCK

As a Genre , Rock & its Classified Relative Genres of Today are much varied from the Ones that We used to listen to in the 1980's . But what has Over the Years in Rock Music happened then? The Hard Metal segment caught up with the Imagination of Those Born primarily towards later part of 80's and early 90's. The 90' s also show a Spurt in What Became More Popular as PUNK Rock. The Later part of 90's when the Craze for Zombie Movies erupted so also erupted a Class of audience for Gothic & Industrial Rock .

1970's Started showing a shift in the Power Houses of Rock .There was more to come , Rock was no Longer dominated by UK & US Bands. The OZ Bands started Knocking BILLBOARD and AC/DC & INXS became a Familiar name. The Europeans Were also not left behind , Many European bands started emerging including Roxette If I have to Name any. And here is Where the Musical Transition of Rock as Genre started. Hard Rock , or let me say the " Classical Rock "of today , started making way for Fusion of POP-Rock which was eveident with the styles of Roxette and many other bands that Followed.

The Success of Music Videos & Music TV Channels brought out a Spurt in to the Extent of Rock Music access to Countries where Rock officially was unheard of and was strictly considered as Western Music . That has change over the Years . The Rock scene is alowly shifting Poles towards Asian Countries. Fact is , Asia with its Huge Population and With Some of the Most Advanced and Developing Coutries set by , are a Good Consumer of Music. And if that Is a Case in time , There would great Number of Successful Asian Bands making it to the Charts everywhere .

As countries move forward listening to Rock , the cultural and musical influences have got imbibed in the fashion of making music. Here I would like to Highlight this , European Countries always had produced the Best of Dance Music and the Success of Dance in the form of Electronica with the Spurt in DJing since the Later part of 1990's and its Worldwide success is also showing to make headaway into Rock and Influence it. If Nothing else to suggest , I say the Latest LINKIN PARK album released June 26, 2012 LIVING THINGS is a Classic Example of Rock and EDM coming together to make ROCK thats far more different in music than in What Would Now Always be Called " Classic "

The Future of ROCK Music as I see ..... Possibly Bands would Never Continue to Make People Go Crazy like VAN HALEN did in the 70's with his Double Trapping trick onto the Guitar or Possibly Would Make People watch The Drums Go Buzzing when They stood by to watch Rick Allen play it out with a Single Hand. These Days of Rock are Gone & Are never Coming back . Possibly what we would see with Rock in a few Years is A DJ Mixing it Out Live on the Stage , Just as when the Bassist also kicks Guns & The Drums Go Buzz & The Vocals Go High on Fire ... But what the Audience Listens is TECHNO ROCK . And I am betting , This is Coming Soon & Pretty Fast .

Love ROCK , I DO ...
