The DJ Expo 2014 (DJExpo14) Keynote Q&A Presentation with international DJ, producer, artist and entrepreneur Lil Jon (Jonathan Smith) moderated by editor-in-chief Jim Tremayne, DJ Times magazine, at Trump Taj Mahal, Atlantic City, NJ, commenced Tuesday, August 13, 2:30 PM. This amazing standing-room only exclusive keynote was attended by recording artists, DJs, industry executives, producers, promoters, sound engineers, remixers and special guests.

Questions posed to Lil Jon by Tremayne and DJ Expo attendees included: What was your first connection to music? In the 90s, a lot of records came out of Social Death in Atlanta, what did you learn from that experience? In the urban environment, street DJs had a huge impact, back then you would get promos from them, how did that work?”
How old were you when you got a hit record? Tell me little bit about the music at that time? Your music broke out so big outside the South, why do people feel that music? What’s your approach to DJing? What’s a typical set? How long is it and what kind of material are you doing? Let’s talk a little about “Turn Down For What,” that’s a song that just does not go away. It’s everywhere till this day. Talk a little bit about the process in making that record.
