DJ Interview: DJ Sir Bingz of Jamdown

When you think of a Caribbean party what is the first thing that comes to your mind? I don't know about you, but loud music is my first response. Every Caribbean party will have music playing, the music is what sets the vibe and most people go to the parties to dance. I interviewed DJ Sir Bingz for this post so you guys out there can get to know more about one the best Caribbean DJs in the Baltimore area.

Sir Bingz, who is one of the founding members of the DJ and promotion group Jamdown, has been playing at Caribbean parties since 1991. He says his best quality is that he is versatile and is comfortable playing any kind of music to any type of crowd.

I can attest to this. I first met Sir Bingz at a party he was playing at. I danced all night to old and new songs of dancehall and soca. He was so good that I asked him for his business card, and have used his services for one of my own parties.

Since Bingz has knowledge about Caribbean events in this area he was an ideal person to find out where parties are, who promote them and in his opinion of the scene.

I wanted to ask him more questions but he was in the middle of giving someone a haircut, so I didn't want to distract him to much.
