FLYERPROMONOW presents
Explain to the ones that don’t know who you are and what is it that you do or have done in the city of Orlando. My name is Moses CEO of Big Beatz Entertainment. I am a night club promoter that has done numerous events in the Orlando area for over 3 years now. I am also a member & road manager of the Grammy award winning producer team The Nasty Beatmakers. It seems as though every other person in Orlando is from New York City or from an area up north. Where are you originally from? (Laughs) I was actually born in The Bronx. I moved to Orlando when I was 2 years old, so you can say Orlando is all I know.
By: Tony Vitale Flyer Promo N ow & Talkof Orlando .com presents this week’s Talk of Orlando,
Moses aka DJ Slo-Mo,
a man that has been in the entertainment industry since the age of
16. He is the CEO
of Big Beatz Entertainment; a well known
Orlando. He is The Nasty Beatmakers;
promotional company in also a member of a
group
of
Grammy
award
winning
producers that are prominent in the music industry today.
He got his start at
promotion with his once a month events
The Varsity Club years ago. Once his parties grew, he branched out to promote his events at Element Night Club. He has been at Element for the past several years and continues to do what he does best; at
bringing the best and most memorable events to the
Orlando nightlife.
In the entertainment business, it can be rather difficult to have a good relationship with a club owner as well as extremely hard to maintain. What makes your relationship with a club so successful? I have been partnered with Element Night Club for 3 years now. What helps me maintain this relationship is that the club owner and staff know exactly what I bring to the table. I am a promoter that highly believes in taking care of business. Explain the transition from owning your own business to becoming a club promoter? Was the transition a difficult one? The transition from owning my own business to becoming a club promoter was actually not difficult at all. When I owned my business I had to make sure all aspects were taken care of including my staff, finances and supplies. As a promoter, I am concerned with the same type of things because I am actually running my own business. I make sure that the club is fully staffed for the night as well as make sure that the bar & the door are making the money that I have estimated for the night. Why do you feel that you are the Talk Of Orlando? I am the Talk Of Orlando because I am reppin’ my city to the fullest. Whenever I am in other cities working with major artists, I always represent where I’m from. It’s all about trying to put Orlando on the map. How long have you been in the entertainment industry? I've been in the entertainment industry for 15 years. What is the one thing that helps you to succeed in this industry? What helps me succeed in this industry is working with a great team.

It’s not the number of people that you have on your team that’s important, it’s about what those individuals can actually bring to the table. You are a member of The Nasty Beatmakers with Grammy award winner DJ Nasty. What exactly is your role with them? DJ Nasty & LVM are my brothers. I primarily help them with promotions but I am also their road manager. I am responsible for their transportation as well as their room & board. DJ Nasty and LVM are the hottest producers in the business right now. Their latest project was for DJ Khaled’s "All I Do Is Win". Wherever DJ Nasty is chances are I will be there too. Some people think throwing a party in a club is simple. Explain what it takes to have a successful party. It takes a lot of hard work and time to have a successful party. The most important part of having a successful night is the promotion itself. Other important aspects would be having good music and great drink specials. These types of things can make the night a success. How do you feel about the club scene in Orlando? I think we need more variety in Orlando. A lot of the clubs are doing the same thing. I believe we need to bring something new and fresh to Orlando’s night life. Who was your favorite person or team that you have collaborated with in the past? I would have to say first and foremost the one team that I enjoy working with is The Mega City Click. For those that don’t know, the Mega City Click consists of members Disco & The City Boyz, Clay D, Big Mo & Sir Knight Train. I also would have to consider J Love of 102 Jamz as one of the people I enjoy working with. I have worked with all of these individuals for many years and plan to work with them in the future. Who would you like to collaborate with in the future? In the future I would like to collaborate with more promoters who have the same vision as I do. My vision is always to provide an event where you can come to have a great time with great music. The most important part of my vision is for people to always feel like they are being treated with respect at my events. Do you have any shoutouts at this time? I would like to Shout out DJ Nasty, LVM, Sir Knight Train, Big Mo, Clay D, J Love, Disco and The City Boyz, Mayur, Cindy, Evelyn, DJ Chino, DJ Skream, Popov andThe Blokmovaz , TalkofOrlando.com, The entire Element Staff, Charlie, Water Boy and to everyone that supports my events.
