"Living in a fast-paced and multi-tasking online environment, it is very hard to be heard, let alone noticed in this very noisy world of ours. Then at certain intervals in time there are those who rise above the din and noise makers, who shine the light and provide the necessary channels to those who are finding their voice in terms of "artistic expression." One such person is DJ Grandpa, a singular individual, providing the platform for these individuals to be heard and noticed, whatever their project happens to be - a film, a video, a game, a musical composition, etc.Myself, like those who preceded me and those yet to follow, are deeply grateful to DJ Grandpa, a person, who, through his compassion, vision, and insight is providing the means through his weekly podcasts, providing opportunities for the next generation of entertainment professionals to stand up and share their voice To "Pay It Forward" and support those in their endeavor of creative self-expression. I am profoundly indebted to him for doing this."
