Why "Ody-Loop"?
When I started being a DJ, I was known as «DJ Polido», because it's my last name and that's how my friends call me. But when I started taking it more seriously, I realized I needed a different name, something unusual and catchy. After a million thoughts and without any positive results, suddenly I tried to write my last name backwards, «Odilop», and then, with some adjustments I've got «Ody-Loop», and I just loved it!

When was your first appearance?
It all began in 2003 when I was only 13 years old when I joined the radio of the high school where I studied. After that I started being curious about the world of DJing, that's when I started looking for some places to learn more about it.
Afterwards, I've done my first unofficial DJ performance in August of 2007 at a friend's birthday party for approximately 50 people. It went extremely well, I've got lots of compliments and many said why didn't I go forward with this. And there was when I realized that I wanted to be a professional DJ.

When was your first official performance?
21st June of 2008, and I stayed as resident DJ there approximately for one year and a half.

Tell us some places where have you played?
Well, I've already played at: Salão de Jogos (Aldeia do Meco), Divine Lounge Caffe (Sesimbra), X-UP (Sesimbra), Deja Vu (Sesimbra), Centro Cultural de Cortiçadas (Montemor-o-Novo), and other private parties.

As a DJ, what's your type of music?
As a DJ, I like to transmit happiness and pleasure to everybody who's listening to me, by making them dance. My favorite way to do this is by playing house music with quality and very selectively. I usually play different house music styles with great versatility, like going through deep house, commercial house, progressive house and electro house. In the end, I just want to delight who's listening, but never getting away from my identity.

Who are your favorite DJs / Producers?
At the moment, the DJs / Producers that inspire me the most are: Kaskade, Axwell, Erick Morillo, David Guetta, Kurd Maverick, Dirty South, Deadmau5, Morgan Page, Pete Tha Zouk and Pedro Cazanova.
