Who is Limelight? by Simply Starla
As a new resource for women online, CHARLY, seeks to grow to address all aspects of women’s interests. One of my FAVORITE pass times is listening to music. (singing and playing too – but that’s been year’s ago) I want to share this love with all of our visitors. As with all subject areas, Charly seeks to find the hottest, most insightful and passionate contributors to the site – the music and entertainment contributions will be no different. So without further ado we introduce…DJ Limelight!
(this is him…)
Definitely THE hottest DJ in the mid-west, DJ Limelight can rock a party like no other and to our excitement, he is also a skilled writer. Recently, he took time away from the Mac Book turntables, to answer a few probing questions.
CHARLY: Who is your favorite artist of all time?
LIMELIGHT: Stevie Wonder without question. He’s most prolific and timeless artist of our time on so many levels. His musical output in the 70’s alone is unmatched – and never will be. He did more in that decade than most artists have, or will do in their lifetime. There are certain songs in his catalog that I’d put up against entire albums from other artists. When you consider that he’s as an amazing songwriter and composer as he is a vocalist, it’s hard to question his place in music history.
CHARLY: What’s your most requested song?
LIMELIGHT: You would think that changes from venue to venue or by city, but it doesn’t at all. People ask for “Lollipop” constantly as if I don’t know to play it. After the Kanye remix got popular, the song really got a second wind. I’d say my most requested song ever would be a tie between “Sexy Back” or Usher’s “Yeah”. The other constant is that women request songs much more often then guys do.
CHARLY: Do you like your most requested song?
LIMELIGHT: Yeah. I like “Lollipop” but only the Kanye remix – even with the T-Pain vocoder.
CHARLY: If you could pick one song to summarize your life, what would it be?
LIMELIGHT: Eric Roberson\’s \”Could\’t Hear Me Over My Music\”from his “The Vault 1.5″ album. Anyone in the music profession can relate to that song. I feel like he was in my head when he wrote the lyrics to that song.
( in Miami maybe?? hmmm…maybe gas is just too DAMN high!)
CHARLY: What song best describes women?
CHARLY: What song best describes women?
LIMELIGHT: \”Crazy\” by Gnarls Barkley comes to mind first (laughs). Sometimes by Bilal by Bilal describes women and relationships perfectly.
Limelight obviously has an ear for good music and an appreciation for ALL music!
As stated best on his site www.djlimelight.com,
“DJ Limelight’s ability to fuse different genres of music combined with his highly-refined mixing ability, has made him one of the Midwest’s most sought after party deejays. Performing at more than 200 shows per year, he seamlessly fuses Soul, Funk, Hip-Hop, Pop, R&B, Reggae, House, Neo-Soul, Rock and Classics into a cornucopia causing non-stop body-rock…A true pied-piper of the game, Limelight’s distinctive sound has commanded a loyal fan following just as diverse as his music. His audiences span socioeconomic, race, class and gender barriers as multi-cultural enthusiasts waive social prejudices and jam-pack the dance floor night-after-night… DJ Limelight’s talent and passion for his craft has afforded him the respect and admiration nationwide. He boasts guest appearances at events around the country from Chicago to Las Vegas. On-lookers often wonder how a mid-market DJ commands the attention of national brands like Belvedere Vodka, Sean John Clothing, Red Bull USA, and the nation’s hottest clubs such as the Rum Jungle in Las Vegas; but when they experience the truly musical magnetism of DJ Limelight, the rest, as they say, is history.
