DJ & MC Marsss

This month's interview of the month is MC Marsss. Marsss is one of the best party MCs and DJs in Sydney with his very cool sense of humour.

1. How long have you been in Australia and when did you start your latin profession?
I’ve been a citizen of the best country in the world for over 23 years… Started entertaining in 1985. Been a Latino all my life.

2. What inspired you to do what you do in this country?
I’ve always loved all types of music and clubbing…it seemed like a natural progression.

3. What has been the proudest moment in your career?
Playing in front of crowds of 10,000+ while I was doing the “Rave” circuit in London and Manchester.

4. Is this your full time profession? If not what else do you do?
This takes up about half of my working time, the rest I spend on the TV show (En ViVO – Channel 31 - Mondays at 11pm and Saturdays at 5.30 PM. free to air community channel), as well as producing music for various Dance groups and Latin Dance instructors around Sydney.

5. What's your favourite phrase or motto?
“Live and let live”

6. Which is your favourite band or artist?
I can’t say I have a favourite… but I like those artists who truly entertain, the ones with staying power, not really into one hit wonders or those fabricated by marketing machines.

7. If you had three wishes to be granted, what would they be?
three more wishes, ten more wishes, a hundred more wishes and so on…

8. What are your likes and dislikes?
I get a buzz out of hearing people enjoy what I do, be it when I’m hosting an event or when I play music… I don’t like situations where people that cannot handle their alcohol ruin the atmosphere by starting fights or simply creating tension in a club or an important event, Latin or otherwise.

9. What would you like to see more or less of in the Australian Latin scene?
A little less conversation a little more action…

10. Do you have a message for all the latin lovers out there?
Thank you all for supporting what we do, be it in the club scene or through other mediums, ie. Television or Radio, A lot of people work very hard to keep the Latin Vive at the level that it has reached, and thanks to that support we can only get better, and of course, keep up to date with what’s going on by adding “The Latin Voice.com” to your “Favourites” folder!!!
SEE YOU ALL OUT THERE!!!
