Where are you from?

I was born & raised in Compton CA & all over the LA county.

What is the significance of your DJ name? How did you get it?

The name GOOFY was kinda like a giving name to me by friends & family as a dancer when I was younger. I always been the funny guy with the goofy sense of humor growing up. Everyone called goofy as a dancer so I just kept the name as I took on being a disk jockey.

Who are your top 5 biggest influences?

What is your favorite part about being a DJ?

I would have to say knowing I could control someone’s feelings or the way they feel with my selection of music,or to control them with stuff that i mix & blend together. 

What are some of your favorite tracks coming out of the West Coast right now?

What’s the one thing aside from music that you love the most?

Outside of music one of my most valued hobbies would have to be being that guy in my family that all of my younger siblings can look up to as a role model.
