Wolf Starr:Being a MC In L.A

In the five months I've been in LA its truly has been a humbling and learning experience as an MC. Hosting here is different in the sense of the seriousness of the role. With that mic in your hand your held to an extremely high standard. Now don't get me wrong I myself understand the importance of what I do and have literally created fans of the craft. Here though its simply different and much more serious than any city I've ever seen. I've been blessed enough host with Chris Brown in September at ICON and it was an amazing experience! The pressure of it all was nerve racking and nervous was an understatement. All in all im learning alot and in the months I've been in the world known as LOS ANGELES and
its actually made me...BETTER!

Hosting ICON and Secret Sundayz Downtown LA

  Ones a upscale mixed crowd and the other is a turn up strip/club hybrid. The true definition of night and day. When your the MC at two events that have completely different types of music and crowds it can be a little tough. Icon is 50% top 40 and the rest Rap/Club Bangers with this being the case I cant go about it in  the usual "WOLF STARR" fashion. Do to the BPM's being through the roof when I'm used to talking over much slower tracks. I found the challenge exciting in those first few minutes of bass pounding tracks from LMFAO,Swedish House Mafia and Calvin Harris. Adapting is something I've grown good at so once I got the beat count down i dove in head first. I matched the energy of this earlier stated Mixed Crowd and pushed Birthdays,College Grads,Single Ladies among a few other chants that ultimately won me the admiration of the patrons and the Night!

  SECRET SUNDAYZ.........is nothing like I've ever hosted before. One of thee most challenging events I've ever had the pleasure to MC. I mean its essentially a Club,Strip Club,Concert mixed into one hyper active ball!! Also its fucking massive on top of everything else (Approximately 60,000 sq ft)! The venue is a beast a fuckin titan most don't have the gull to slay....Well I'm not "MOST"! There about 45 adult entertainers there all working hard to get that car payment/light bill money. Two DJ an opener and a closer also another host who job is basically to call strippers to the stage. So as you can imagine there are alot of personalities in the building during "WOLF STARR" time. I go on at 12am and close with the last DJ until 3am. To put it bluntly In order to be effective i have to be everywhere at once during my set! At every table,on stage,behind the DJ booth everywhere! This my friends isn't easy in any way shape or form not even for an experienced MC like myself. Every stripper wants attention from you consistently and every VIP wants a shout out. Pressure isn't a strong enough word to describe the rushing I have to do to stay on top of everything. But I get the JOB DONE! I split my time evenly moving in an pattern checking on everyone for shout outs while simultaneously giving the dancers the attention they need from the mic to get the money flying.  At the end of the night im standing a sweaty mess TTH (Tired Tipsy Hungry) ready to go home and reflect on being better at my passion. This my friends is what hosting Secret Sundayz is like. 

THE MC

   The DJ drops the music and the crowed goes silent. Some turn and face the DJ booth with looks of confusion and question on there faces. The MC grabs the mic and steps forward into the crowd and asks "If its your mutha fuckin BIRTHDAY make some noise"!! The crowd screams and the club frenzies with loud shouts of there Zodiac! The MC with swagger and grace jumps apone the bar and further drives home the fact "Its your fuckin birthday and I got you"! At the end of it all this everyone has witnessed and felt the importance of a great MC. Some of those birthday people are going to swear by this person holding the mic and never forget how special they made them feel on there special day. To be honest with you guys........I LIVE FOR THESE MOMENTS. The moments when I can use my voice to touch the 100-1000 people im hosting for. The perks of it all are minuscule to me at this point i.e Women/Bottles because its the admiration of the people im addicted to. I've been a professional MC as in its my PROFESSION for almost 10 years. As a youth it was my first true love I can honestly say. I've been blessed to host parties in cites like Atlanta,LA,Houston,Phoenix, and so on. No light has been shed on doing what us MC do usually the DJ are the ones who get the "Glory". Though in some cases I haven't cared but lately I have to admit its been affecting me more than usual. With that being said I feel its my responsibility to bring more attention to just THAT art form in itself. The legends and our fore fathers Fat Man Scoop,Flava Flav,Lil John,DJ Cool just to name a few were AMAZING MC/Hypemen! Maybe its time for a documentary of some sort to explain to the world what goes into hyping a crowd? In any case the skill,patience,understanding,creativity and even foresight that makes a great MC is known by the ones who have been moved by us. I'm personally going to work my ass off to keep doing what I love......YOU CAN BET ON THAT.

                                  THE MOVE FROM ATLANTA TO A DESERT (Part UNO)




Im going to take sometime to shed light on my experiences as a guy from Atlanta ga moving to a place like Phoenix az. As a host it seemed slightly impossible to overcome from what i understand was a untamable  market. I assumed this up until I met a publicist who gave me the confidence to venture from my comfort zone of Georgia and seek "New Adventure". To fast forward i feel in love with said publicist shortly before my move and it ended in tragedy within the first 3 months of us being there. Not the someone died tragedy but the "I fuckin hate you and wish we never met" kind. So there I was....in the middle of a desert city with one friend whom i met 2 months prior to the break up and no other real connections or pals. In those first few weeks of not having the halo of information that came with dating a publicist I felt sad at times discouraged even. On top of all of this some nasty rumors had spread about me and created some dangerous tension with the local gangsters in the area. So times were hard and it became a me against the world Scenario. Your asking yourself  "what the heck did you do?" or "were you scared"? To be honest i didnt feel a lick of fear....i guess it comes along with knowing where you stand in situations of turmoil. I knew the rumors she had spread weren't true so i tried my hardest to simply focused on what I love HOSTING PARTIES. Luckily and  thankfully the publicist had put me in good with a few promoters that kept me working even among all the drama that had now spread out of control. I bit down and ignored the death threats,Curses,haters,Manipulators (yes one of her old enemies tried to actually fuck me out of spite of her....SERIOUSLY). Trying my hardest to simply just do what i do on that microphone and lose myself in the crowds and people who actually enjoyed hearing me those 2-3 nights a week. That friend I mentioned earlier was an amazing trigger to confidence through out this ordeal. She had my back and even though had only known me for a few months held me down NON-STOP. We tried to have fun to lift both our spirits. O did i mentioned i moved in with this Friend after the publicist kicked me out after our game ending fight? So all the threats and anger that had been hurled at me was now her burden as well. As i was saying we tried to have fun and a "everything will work itself out" attitude. We even shared women together (she was bi-sexual) and oddly enough in doing this it created more people who understood my point of view and issues. Before i knew it i had a small army of women who swore by the fact I was being wronged with all the rumors and would call out who ever felt different. No not all those women were people we had threesomes with. Honestly i didnt know why some of them cared so much. Given they didn't know the publicist or me for that matter but they still jumped on team Wolf Starr and were such a big help with getting through this painful time. As time passed my friend and I just ignored everything and took the proper measures to stop all the drama. Eventually......the publicist came around......(YEAH....after all that) she came around and called me crying tears of blood begging me to come back to her. She demanded I meet with her and I did only out of sympathy and the fact i still did have Love for her. We decided to stop all the madness and just moved on......and thats when WOLF STARR began to grow in Phoenix...

Some Logos of mine and a few pics with fans. The "EXXTRA GIRLZ" Logo is an Idea i had in Phoenix for a all girl promo team. Which later became "DIAMOND DOLLS" or what not (Ill be shining some light on "THAT DIAMOND DOLL SITUATION") Later today. ENJOY

WOLF STARR THE CLUB HOST

Ever been to a night club and seen the guy on the mic behind the DJ both? He's either doing one of two things annoying the hell out of you with his ramblings or making you so got damn hype you spill your drink everywhere! My name is WOLF STARR and im a Mc,Host,Hypeman,Guy on the mic in the club or what ever people like to call me. I would be the guy making you go so hard at celebrating you spill that $15 patron shot everywhere. I started this blog to showcase my life in words/pic/videos to shed light on the ups and downs of club hosting. What we do isnt always the most glorious and we dont get all the notoriety DJ do but its truly a ART FORM. It takes creativity and the talent to understand complete strangers emotions and vibe. Think you can get infront of a bunch of complete strangers and convince them to party to music they have never heard before? (lol) Its much harder than it sounds. Hope you guys enjoy taking a peek into my story and getting to see exactly what its like being WOLF STARR.....a CLUB HOST.
