Uday Shah
Besides dealing between music and a family business in steel, he recharges
his creative activities by doing anything from watching T.V to an occasional game of pool
or snooker. A passionate lover of cars, he makes it a point to follow motor sports
closely, and plans to pick up the Hyundai Station wagon as soon as it is launched. Though
he enjoys reading ,the books better be the ‘Hardy Boys’ kinds that are light
breakaways from the booming parties and unearthly job hours.
He is basically from Mumbai, Uday shifted to the city during his school years and has
since been moving between the two cities. Being a reserved kind of person, this quiet
Virgo likes to open up only around close friends, although his job demands being in the
focus of the most happening party crowd. According to him the art of being a DJ is a
“talent given by God” that he happily shares with all the youngsters easily
trained by him and now working at various nightspots in the city.
In 1989 he was asked in to manage the music counter at that eventful party, as it is he is
a music fan this brought about the change in his working life. He started off
‘accidentally’ at a friend’s party, Uday Shah is absolutely one of the best
disc jockeys we have around. One thing led to another and before he knew it, he was being
called up by perfect strangers to play music for their bashes! After having a bash with it
for a year, at his girlfriend’s suggestion he decided to get professional. He talked
about the early 1990’s when the profession was still infantile in the party circuit,
that in those days, they had to manage with cassettes as CD’s were expensive and not
easily available.
In 1993, one of his first big breaks burst up when he performed as a D.J. for a party
hosted by pop-singer Apache Indian who was in the city as part of his Indian tour. Seven
eventful years into the field for him have seen numerous blowing parties, to name a few
like the MTV Party Zone bash in 1995 and the War of the DJ’s in 1998. While at the
job, he plays anything from retro to techno to get the party into the rhythm, but
personally digs soft rock and the music of the ‘80s.
