Exclusive Interview with special guest from Chile - DJ Precisa

DJANEMAG continues to introduce you female DJs from around the world. And today you will learn more about the talented DJ from Chile. DJ Precisa began her career as a DJ in 2005. Her beginnings were by hip hop and R'n'B genre music, which earned  her the recognition of those who cultivate this style of music, being invited as DJ in several events, highlighting her participation in Snoop Dog Hip hop concert. Looking to expand her professional and musical horizons, she begins to explore different musical styles, letting her be in the highest level of the DJ scene in Santiago (Chile).

DJANEMAG: Why did you decide to become a DJ? Was it your dream from early years and was it difficult to start? Give some advice to girls, who are just starting their career! 

DJ Precisa: Well...I did not start as a DJ inmediately. I was a music-lover and I collect music since I am little. I collect music in cassettes since the 80´s, because we did not have much access to vinyl records. These long plays did not arrive to Chile very often in the 80´s and if they arrived, they were very expensive. It was cheaper to have tapes. Afterwards I started to try on any device or equipment I knew, basically classic control panels, until I met the great mixer Gemini PMX 100. In that moment I realized that I could mix two tracks at the same time (I had tried before but with a radio cassette and it did not work very well). I started playing in some birthdays, parties and even in my balcony, where I took out some speakers and started to play, while some people gathered downstairs listening to me. With the time I saw friends mixing music in some small recitals and hip hop parties and I tried to learn, but it was hard at the beginning because I they saw a woman doing a man´s job and I noticed they did not trust me. But I did not quit and I became very popular and played in different places with different music styles. I always try different music styles, but my origin is in the Rock, Jazz, Rap, Rnb, Funk. My advice to all the girls that want to begin this tough way, is that if you want to do this, you need to do it because you feel it inside yourself and not as a job. You need discipline and short-term goals. 


DJANEMAG: Your experience as a DJ has taken you across the world. Which was your favourite country to perform in and why? Do you like to perform in your native country? 

DJ Precisa: Oh my God, It's many places that I love. I been in Switzerland and Barcelona 2014 and 2015 in Perú, but Actually I live in United States (I’m From Chile) and I think here is my favorite because Everything is so Fresh, music everyday is different and you have to prepare everytime for Rockin’ It’s so much fun, but also I like to play everywhere this is part of the adrenaline and that keep me alive. I like to play in my country, but I think is better for me just go sometimes because I feed me of music out of Chile. 

DJANEMAG: Is there any country which you would really like to perform in or have you already played in your dream country? 

DJ Precisa: I think I’ll like to go Every place that I haven’t been yet. But I’ll love to go to France and Knows more parts of Europe, Europe is wonderful they love the music, the art and the culture. Also I will love to Knows the middle East. 

DJANEMAG: You have performed for some pretty big festivals with huge crowds of people. Do you have a special ritual to combat any nerves you might have? 

DJ Precisa: Just be prepare, practice and practice, revise your performance a lot of times y be sure what you doing. And maybe a ritual before the combat just have one moment to concentration feel and feel the crowd 

DJANEMAG: Think about this one carefully. If you had to choose one celebrity DJ to go on tour with for an entire year, who would you choose and why? 

DJ Precisa: I think anybody that’s been more than 15 or 20 years in this industry Dj Funkmasterflex, Dj Qbert, DjPremier etc. But also the woman I will love to share with Dj Shorty, Dj Lady Style, Dj Elizamay, Also I love the style of Alicia Wonderland. 

DJANEMAG: Do you have a specific goal in mind for your presenting career? Would you like it to take you to new successes?
