[BIRDFEED EXCLUSIVE] RJW debuts on the Feed with “Great A$$”!
-How long have you been creating music?
I started playing guitar when I was 13. I got into more electronic music when I started going to shows when I was 18. I fell in love with house music right away and started producing as soon as I could.
-What do you use to make your tracks?
Ableton
-How and when did you first discover Dirtybird?
I'd have to say what really got me hooked on Dirtybird was when me and my squad went to Lightning in a Bottle in 2015 and Shiba San absolutely killed it!! His set had the crowd going crazy from start to finish. After that I was hooked on that DB sound.
-Which Dirtybird artist would you want to collaborate with the most?
Arnold & Lane, I love their style of music. I look to their music for inspiration all the time. Plus I've met them in person a couple of times and they're super awesome people.
-If your entire life was a movie, what title would best describe you?
Dude, Where's my car? Go out to a show, come home and after party with the homies till sunrise, then you walk outside and can't remember where you parked the car, walk a block in the wrong direction and then remember you got good parking right out front.
-What’s the best concert you’ve ever been to?
Dirtybird Camp Inn!! It was the first show I had been to in a long time because of all the covid restrictions. Pretty sure it was the same for a lot of people, but everyone came to that show ready to party!! It was nuts and weird and entertaining the whole time. I loved being able to go relax in a hotel room walking distance from the stages. It was seriously a perfect time from start to finish.
-If you could time travel, where and when would you go?
I think it would be cool to go back and see where house music first originated from. I'd like to see their process with all the old tech they had to use, and play around with all those old school synthesizers. I think we take it for granted sometimes how easy it is to make music on a laptop whenever and wherever we want.
-What species of bird best describes you and why?
Rubber Ducky. When I first started partying my friends nicknamed me "Rub a Dub". Rub = Rob and Dub = W = Wilson. It was my DJ name when I first started out. Plus I make bath time more fun
-What does Dirtybird mean to you?
Dirtybird has a vibe. It's that weird wonky kind of house music that'll keep you grooving all night long. If you're rolling up to a Dirtybird party you know you are in for a great time and the vibes are gonna be through the roof.
