Welcome to Screw the Cloud. I'm your host, Steve Stanioul. Each week we're going to have amazing guests share their stories of saying screw it.

Tune in each week, this is Screw the Cloud.

So welcome to another episode of Screw the Cloud.

My name is Steve Stanilis and we have another amazing guest this week. We have DJ Striz.

Stris, welcome to the show.

Thank you.

Yep, thanks for having me.

You very highly are a mentor, a mutual friend.

I'm excited to get to talk to you.

Yeah, same here.

Definitely really appreciate you having me on.

Super excited for our conversations.

Great to finally meet you and be able to have have a fun conversation

sure sure so we were talking off offline real quick and uh we both have something common you're

at new york city city boy so right off the bat we probably know a lot of people in common but

how did you even get into the DJ business for our listeners out

there? Was it something you always wanted to do? Was it something you were supported by your parents

by? Just let's walk us through that. Yeah. So honestly funny. You even start off with a New York

City comment and ask me that question because that's exactly how I got into DJing. Maybe you had a

suspicion. But basically, well, so I grew up

playing music. I started playing piano when I was like three years old, played classical piano,

eventually learned guitar, took on like jazz, like tenor sax. So music was always a part of my life.
