Full name: Grant Eddins
Stage name: DJ Grant
Where I got it: It’s his real
name. “I don’t need a superhero
name. Music is the superhero of
DJ Grant.”
What I play: Hip hop, dance
and remix
Gigs: Haven, Ess Lounge every
weekend, occasionally Mosquito
and the Office.
Got in the game: Mixing
music since 1997, DJing live since 2002
Why he does it: “I love music, period. I love sharing it with
everyone else.
Influences: “Nineties hip hop got me hooked.”
First pro gig: Stool Pigeons; Raleigh, NC
Favorite technique: “I don’t really have a ‘technique.’ If I
do, I’m not sure how to describe it. I have never, not even once,
walked into a club or venue with a set already in mind. I just
wing it every time. I watch the people and use my eyes to
figure out what people are there to hear or are feeling at the
moment.”
In his stereo: “All the new music I get to review. I sort out
what I like and dislike or what will and won’t work.”
Favorite albums: “Are you serious? Too many to name.”
