DJ India

DJ India – Dirty South Desi



Location: New Orleans



“I picked the name DJ India because I wanted to represent who I am, where I’m from, and what I do,” DJ India laughed.



Starting DJing/mixing: Age of 15



“I still remember my first remix. It was to the Chris Brown song ‘Run It,’ with a Desi flavor. Simply put, I called it the ‘Rut It (Indian Remix),’ haha! But my most favorite remix has gotta be the ‘Punjabi Naara’ track I did. My debut mixtape with XDV was called ‘Reppin’ 504.’ There were mixed reviews on the mixtape, but I had to do something to represent the Dirty South and where I’m from! With that said, my favorite mainstream artist is Lil Wayne and of course, Rishi Rich is my favorite Desi artist. Yo, if I could co-produce with anyone from the mainstream scene, without a doubt it’d be Timbaland. He’s sick when it comes to production! But on the real, Desi music is headed in a good direction. Who knows where it will be five or ten years from now…how about you come and ask me then!”
