Mike Nouveau

Mike Nouveau is also part of The Ruff Kids. Though quieter than his boy S. Valentine, he's just as honest, hot -- and cynical:

How did you get into DJ-ing?
I started going to a lot of NYC parties and befriended different DJs and promoters. I realized that DJ-ing is a total scam and it was really easy to do, and you can be successful at it even if you're really bad.

What point are you at in your career?
I spin at my own parties, at friends' parties, at events -- anywhere that will have me, really. It's hard to say where I'm at, and it's even harder for me to call this a "career." Careers usually provide income and stability, which is definitely something that DJ-ing does not do.

How would you describe your music style?
Whatever makes people dance.

Are you single or taken?
Single.
