Humans of Orlando: DJ Enoch Dollison
Gloria Ikeji

It was a calm, sunny August afternoon at a Starbucks as I waited to meet up my friend Enoch Dollison. When he arrived, he had this warm energy and you could feel he was excited to be here telling me about his passion for music. Enoch Dollison is a 22-year-old that just graduated from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelors of Health Science. When he's not writing music or DJ'ing, you can find him watching sports or at the beach. I sat back with him and asked a few questions about his DJ'in career.

Q: What type of music do you produce?

I create electronic music and hip-hop.

Q: What got you into music?

Well, back when I was a kid, my parents had this old Macintosh and I found this program where you can make music so I decided to try it out and fell in love with it.

Q: Who do you look up to in the House industry?

I listen to all kinds of people. I've been listening to Dylan Francis and Green Velvet. I currently love Sudden Death, he's newer and bringing dubstep back.

Q: Do you have the same feeling of creating music as listening to the house music whether in your car or at concerts?

I can be in the car and still feel like I'm at a concert when the energy is really high. I'll listen to my favorite songs in the car.

Q: Do you think music genres and the way people create is becoming more open/fluid a good thing?

I feel that all the genres coexist, I never thought that emo rap would be cool and different but it is! Artists understand that everyone listens to different types of music now.

Q: What have been your goals in 2018 for your music?

It's been weird transitioning going from school cause I just graduated to getting back into the music lifestyle to find incomes. I use that as a time to find myself creatively and getting promoted. I am currently creating this song based off Migos and Soulja Boy "Unload the Draco" and I'm excited to share it.

Q: How has the self-branding aspect been?

I'm getting used to using the internet as a brand. I mostly use SoundCloud. It's necessary to self-brand.

Q: How has the access to sites like SoundCloud and music technology changed the way you're able to produce?

It's way easier because I can upload ideas and clips and get feedback. The promotion aspect is broad because it's so much easier these days to get your content out there.

Q: What can you say to someone that wants to get into the producing/creative arts?

They should run it through the basics and hit the ground running. You have to realize that you are an artist and what you make is valuable even if one person or thousands of people hear it.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.
