The Stupid Experts - Live @ Nav's Birthday Bash - Blackpool 24 - 02 - 2018 (mastered)

My name is Deon Lopez, and I am both an artist and a producer. I chose to pursue a career as a DJ because of my deep love for music and its impact on people and the world.

I draw inspiration from legendary artists like Michael Jackson, whose music has influenced me since my childhood and continues to inspire countless individuals. Other influential musicians include Ben E.King, Stevie Wonder, Beethoven, Nat King Cole, and the iconic Bob Marley. Nowadays, I enjoy listening to a wide range of artists such as Beyoncé, Usher, Tinie Tempah, Naz, Will Smith, The Script, The Killers, Kings of Leon, and many more. I appreciate both well-known and undiscovered artists, always seeking out new music.

I was adopted from Belize and brought to the UK. At the age of 10, I began learning to play the piano. When I turned 16, I started writing my own music and experimenting with music software, particularly FL Studio (previously known as "Fruity Loops"). Using this software, I gained extensive knowledge in music production. Additionally, I engaged in charity work with S.S.A.F.A, walking across the Namibian desert and raising £2,400. This experience brought me a message that said, "I can see you doing great things in your future." This sentiment was echoed by others as well.

Later, I landed a role in the ITV series "Wire In The Blood," which led me to pursue TV operations while continuing to pursue my music career. As a result, I had the opportunity to showcase one of my songs at the opening of the O2 Arena in London in 2007. There, I witnessed incredible performances by renowned artists such as Tom Jones, The Kaiser Chiefs, and Basement Jaxx.

Another memorable experience was playing at the Octoberfest in Bavaria, Germany. I have released four EPs and two albums on platforms like iTunes, with a third album on its way.

During challenging times, I find solace in various quotes that uplift my spirits. One of my favorites is from the movie "Peaceful Warrior": "A warrior never gives up on what he does; he finds the love in what he does." I also resonate with the quote "Keep Moving Forward" from Walt Disney's "Meet the Robinsons." Furthermore, a friend of mine once said, "Love with your heart and not with your eyes." Lastly, one of my personal quotes is "Listen with your heart and not with your mind."
