This week's SKAM Artist feature puts Vegas' own DJ OB-One in the spotlight. Originally from Chicago and currently residing in Las Vegas, Ben Garcia has been making noise in the DJ game for over 15 years. From Vegas to Los Angeles and across the globe Ob-One has honed his skills and made a name for himself in the industry. We recently sat down with the talented DJ to ask him to share a few things with his fans ...




When did you start Djing?


Oh man seems like forever ago....I started 17 years ago...




How did you get the name?


Well basically I was a raver at the time when I started to dj so I was looking for a creative & clever name. I've been a huge "Star Wars" fan since I was a kid & my name is Ben so it seemed to fit...




Favorite Place (City,Venue) to DJ?


Hard to pick cause I have a few, but I would say Palms or Mur.Mur/Mixx in Atlantic City...




What equipment do you use?


The standard...turntables, preferably a Pioneer 800 mixer, Serato, my spiffy Mac, & a magic wand...




If you weren't DJing what would you be doing?


Oh man, I hate to think of that....well, hopefully I would just be producing music...




Favorite thing to do on free time?


Bunch of things....hangin with my wife, music production, listening to metal, playing soccer, snowboarding in the winter...




Tupac or Biggie ?


I don't wanna get shot by answering that question...haha..
