Favorite song/album of 2022/2023

What made you decide to join The IMPACT and become a DJ?

I love music and politics, and I decided that people in a music club would be more fun than people in a politics club.

 

What has been your best on-air experience?

My first time getting referred to by my DJ name by a caller was too cool.

 

What is the best concert experience you have had? Why? 

My best concert experience was seeing Thundercat open for the Chili Peppers. As a bassist, him and Flea are two personal idols of mine, and both of them on the same stage in the same night was unreal.

 

How do you think working in radio will affect your future career and life?

It’s definitely some of the most fun i’ve had at MSU. Hopefully the public speaking experience will come in handy someday in the public sector.

Favorite Dining Hall? 

SnyPhi

 

Campus Squirrels or Campus Ducks?

Ducks (I hate squirrels).

 

Plan a dinner in East Lansing with any person dead or alive. Who would it be? Where would you go?

I haven’t thought about it. I’d probably take another one of my bass idols- Les Claypool to my favorite EL restaurant: Altu’s Ethiopian. I don’t know how Les Claypool feels about injera, but it would be so cool to talk to a pioneer of bass technique like him over my favorite ethnic food.

 

What is your comfort TV show?

Probably M*A*S*H. This might be niche but I relate to Sidney Freeman

 

Favorite College Memory?

Last year’s spring concert probably takes it for me. Really great energy. As an impact member this year I’m hoping this year will be even better.
