10 year old Diana is going to be a seriously awesome DJ one day (Video)

The whole point of these MPC devices is that anyone who can tap a rhythm with their wrist can make a song. It takes very little skill. I would be much more impressed if she used turntables.

DJ? I see do disks!

Diana, I'd buy this track so quickly you have no idea kid. it's awesome! good for you.

That was amazing but… do they not own a brush in her family? Looks like she's developing unintentional dreads, which are cool normally.. but not really for a 10 year old little girl.

Ummm, she does ok on her $3000 Akai MPC2500…. Me thinks this is a bit overstated. At her age I was playing Chopin nocturnes and hating it…Wish I had one of those systems.

very cool. she could grow up to become the next reggie watts. if u've never heard of him, youtube his vids. will blow ur mind.

i thought that was pretty f$@&ing good for a ten year old i could see that beat in a track for sure

will she please do beats for little wayne shes the only way to save his career

this is not DJ'ing, this is producing.

Boring, No skills there. Let's see here in the 80's playing Simon says!

Allow me to present Madeon, 16 yrs old…

Sounds like Fort Minor- Believe Me

what isn't mentioned here is that the MPC quantizes everything for you, so if you mess up on the timing of something (which is almost everything when all you're doing is pushing a button), it grabs it and shifts it back to where it should be relative to the metronome. Notice how the kick and snare sound when she's playing it vs, the measure afterwards…also where did those samples come from?

Just think that's a bit ignorant, that's all. She doesn't push one button and then the song is finished. It does take a sense of tone and rhythm, which she has. Trumpet only has 3 buttons, that's still an instrument. And if age is an issue, didn't Mozart start begin his mastery at age 3? It doesn't have to be difficult in order to be an instrument.

playing a device like that is more like playing the drums than the guitar. there's still thought and talent behind it — it's all just rhythm and timing instead of chord and scale theory

not impressed

This is kind of weak. A 10 year old can do this.

Its cool that she is only ten years old and she is a she but you could youtube "making a beat" and watch a million videos that are way more impressive.

Maybe her parent/s just taught her to make that one beat, she should ask AraabMuzik to adopt her

thank you

thanks
