Frankie Criniti has always been passionate and interested about music and has always pictured certain songs going together, and wanting to mix them himself. His passion for DJ-ing has landed him gigs at private parties, clubs, bars, and on campus events. Some of these gigs including some known places around Cabrini such as, McFaddens, 23 East, and The Deck.
Frankie’s inspiration for wanting to become a DJ started with him discovering and, then starting to listen to DJ AM after his death in 2009. “When he died in late 2009, I started listening to his mixes and decided to start emulating his style.” Said Criniti.
According to the New York Post, DJ AM also know as Adam Goldstein, brought in $25,000 or more a night.
Frankie has been aiming to create a wide audience and please everyone with his music during his time being a DJ. Criniti believed that his inspirer never had boundaries and his music appealed to everyone which made Frankie become interested in the Dj-ing business.
Frankie has his turn tables set up and ready to go in his dorm room. “He’s always playing some type of music whether it is his mix or something else you can always expect to hear something playing in his room.” Said sophomore Michael Schugar.
Criniti hopes to start his own company one day in the future. Although he is in charge of his own company that is now called Frank Nitty productions, he hopes to expand his company and add employees including dancers and MC’s to bring to his gigs.
