BROUSSARD (EGYPTIAN LOVER)

Q. Tell everyone who you are and what you do?

A. I am a recording artist that produced my own music on my own label and distributed it with my own distribution company. My very first solo record was gold. I started out as a DJ and used that mindset to produce my own style of music in 1983. Releasing it in 1984.

Q. Let’s talk a little about your journey and how you got to where you are today?

A. I’ve always loved making music for people to dance to. I also love DJing making people dance. Doing them both at the same time is a dream come true. I started out with a huge dance promotion crew (Uncle Jam’s Army) where I played for 10,000 people at the L.A. Sports Arena and soon after that I was making records and touring. The touring never stopped, I just keep on doing shows showing off my DJ skills and performing my songs. I put on one hell of an old school show.

Q. What are some goals you want to accomplish for 2022?

A. In 2022 I want to finish a screenplay and start making movies. This has been a dream of mine for a long time now. I’ve started many but need to finish one.

Q. What do you think is missing in today’s music and the DJ world?

A. I’m not too sure because I only do what I do. I don’t go to other concerts to judge the new generation. They are who they are doing their own style just as I did 40 years ago. More power to the new and upcoming DJs never stops living your dream. If you are entertaining the people, keep doing your thing.

Q. You have so many classics do you have a personal favorite among your releases?

A. Too many…. I’ll just pick one for now “Killing it”

Q. If you could change anything in the music industry, what would it be?

A. I really can’t answer that because it’s a done deal now. But if I were the Major labels, I would have never stopped making vinyl for CDs. I would have continued to make both. Years later this did come back to bite them in the ass. But why cry over spilled milk. I continued to press vinyl records and I’m still doing it today. My last 3 albums were available on vinyl, CD, and tape as well as digital downloads.

Q. Tell us what has been your biggest accomplishment or award you’ve received in your career?

A. I don’t recall awards, but my biggest accomplishment was getting on the radio. Once people heard my music it was the number 1 requested song. My songs were played every hour. I was very excited and pleased and just in a dream state when this was going on.

Q. What is one message you would like to give to your fans?

A. Enjoy your Life!

Q. Are you working on any new projects or upcoming events?

A. I have 3 new albums 1984, 1985, and 1986 out now. Go to Bandcamp.com to have a listen. I gave these albums these names because I recorded them the same way I recorded my first albums in the 80’s. I used the same equipment and the same recording studios. Money was no object in this process. I just wanted it to be done for my fans. It was a big success, and these 3 albums are now my favorite songs. I even remade “Everything She Wants” by Wham (George Michael) and so many good beats with my 808. These three albums (The Trilogy) will be my legacy.

My fans can see me DJ and perform all over the world because I am always on tour.

Q. Where can the readers follow you?

A. Everyone can follow me @theegyptianlover.
