Introducing Phoenix, AZ DJ Chris "Big Nasty" Allen! Today's interview brings us a cautionary and inspirational story about overcoming major ongoing medical issues! Chris tells us about how he broke several vertebrae in his neck, was temporarily a quadriplegic, and the many setbacks in his ongoing recovery process from spinal reconstruction surgery (Vertebraes, C3-C7), all through the COVID Pandemic till this very day! We also discuss how being a musician often leads to becoming a strip club DJ! And how being a one-man band singing and playing "porno blues" (a genre Chris created) led to an offer to DJ at his first strip club in Tulsa, Oklahoma. How did preaching influence Chris's style on the mic? His first club had a Juke Box for music selections and he learned how to Emcee by listening to the owner, Al (a former Pentecostal minister) 'preach' to the crowd. "The Sunday congregation at the first church of what's shakin' now!" The Naked Sermon! Can I get an AMEN?! Lol From there he DJ'd off of a 5-disc changer
