Interview with Jordy Dazz

Interview: Jordy Dazz talks about his name-change, his passion and upcoming releases.

First of all, thank you for your time!

You’ve changed your artist name a few months ago from Jordy Lishious to Jordy Dazz. Can you tell us about that?

I started out DJing when I was about 14 years old. When I got more and more gigs, I wanted to add an artist name to my performances, which became Jordy Lishious. At that time it was more a name for fun and I didn’t really think it through. But the last 2 years I noticed I was struggling with the name and decided, end of 2011, that I wanted a name that suited me better. I also slightly started changing my sound, so it was the right moment to switch it up. After a few weeks of brainstorming, I thought Jordy Dazz was the perfect name for the new path I was going! It’s been one of the best decisions so far.
