Ignatius Camilo, better known as DJ Iggy, tells Sumana B Jayanth why spinning music in Berlin is more exciting that doing the same here

Born in Anjuna, Goa, Iggy is one of India's highest paid models but he insists music, and not the ramp, is his first love. This Tomorrow night he will be at Olive Beach where he will play slow motion disco, electro jazz and deep groovy house.

You are one of the most sought after DJs in the country. Was spinning music a childhood dream?
Like any confused kid, I did not know what I wanted to do in life. I was brought up in Goa, in a typical Goan family, where the choices were limited. All I could think of becoming was a teacher, since my mother was one. Then, I thought I would become a priest. While in college I thought I should get into accounting but my father wanted me to study law. I happened to meet this DJ, who did not have a place to stay in Goa, so I brought him home. I liked what he did. He taught me how to filter music. He liked my taste in music and asked if I would be interested in DJing. I liked the idea and started DJing. He gave me some music from his vault. Of course, the music was pirated! For the record, I don't buy pirated music anymore.
