DJ Belal Awad drops new music, and we are vibing hard to it! We got the opportunity to sit with him to discuss what drives his musical influence.
AllHipHop: What do you like most about playing music?
DJ Belal Awad: I love feeling the energy of the room and the crowd. I enjoy watching how a slight change in melody or tempo, it can really excite everybody to dance and cheer, or even jump with their arms held high!
AllHipHop: What inspired you to start playing and making music?
DJ Belal Awad: I grew up on Darude – Sandstorm and that’s probably a track that really got things going for me in the electronic dance world. It gave me a new feeling and I wanted to be a part of it with my own sounds since I was little.
AllHipHop: Which instrument did you play in High School?
DJ Belal Awad: I used to play the trumpet back in high school and some piano also. This opened up my mind, body, and soul to really pursue my musical passions!
AllHipHop: What’s your process for dealing with performance anxiety?
DJ Belal Awad: As a DJ, it’s nice to just be able to stick close to my own energy and vibrate from there. I’m experienced enough to know how to calm my nerves before a show with stuff to focus me for a big performance! I also feed off the energy of the crowd once that first beat drops, it’s really surreal!
AllHipHop: What motivates you to create?
DJ Belal Awad: Making new original music that stands out to people and makes them want to be a part of my brand. For people to hear my sound and then want to be a part of its vision. That always keeps me motivated and inspired!
AllHipHop: When can we expect your new music to be streamed?
DJ Belal Awad: Releasing new music at the end of the year! I want to release lots more next year with an album that’s also currently being worked on.
