DJ Cruz, out of Dallas, Texas, may be new to the music industry, but he is ready to take EDM by storm. He first began producing as a senior in high school when he was 18 years old. We had the chance to speak with DJ Cruz and get the latest in our exclusive TapSongz interview. Growing up, DJ Cruz was always interested in music. "Some of my biggest inspirations include Kid Cudi, Johnny Rain, Chance The Rapper and Jon Bellion." He has used this inspiration to release his first big project on SoundCloud!
The project "First Five" is a five track EP that perfectly displays DJ Cruz's sound. He had been working on the concept of the EP for about five months, wanting each song to be perfect. "My main goal for this EP was to try and expose the listener to a new and different kind of sound that they aren't used to hearing in mainstream music, and guide them on a spiritual journey to the truth," DJ Cruz told our TapSongz Team. The project is quite unique and we love the sounds the young DJ is able to put together with smooth transitions. Our personal favorite track from the EP is "Don't Be Afraid". The song has a gloomy sound at first and it carries a mysterious, lingering beat throughout the entire track. The work is extremely catchy and represents the kind of vision that DJ Cruz stands for with his music.
Another amazing tune from the EP is "Follow Me"! We asked DJ Cruz what he was hoping to do with the track. "I was hoping to create a song with a powerful beat to it like the heartbeat of any song and the kick is supposed to symbolize and mimic a drum on the battle field which helps soldiers keep their pace while marching," DJ Cruz said. "The title of the song indicates following me on a auditory journey to the next EP and fight off mainstream music and introduce a new meaning to 'music' as well know it," he added. Definitely be sure to give the track a listen below!
Looking into the rest of 2016, it is clear DJ Cruz has already made great progress but there is work to be done. He has high hopes for continuing his momentum into the summer and rest of the year. "I hope to continue building a loyal fanbase and collaborating with other like minded artist who share the same vision as me." Our TapSongz Team thinks DJ Cruz is well on his way and we look forward to hearing his next project.
After speaking with DJ Cruz it is clear he is not in the music industry for money. Rather, he hopes to spread his music and inspire, showing his listeners a positive outlook on life.
