To learn as much as he could about the business, Nizri eventually went to Europe and study under other DJs. When he decided to move to the United States, he had in his mind to settle in the Big Apple. But fate stepped in and brought him to Miami instead. "I was about to go to New York, and then a very good friend of mine living here told me I should come to Miami instead", he says. "She went on about the nice weather and great people. So I changed my plans and landed up here. And I've stayed here. I don't think I am going to leave anytime soon".

The competition among DJ's is fierce, Nizri says. It seems to him that these days almost everyone wants to be a DJ. But the competition is also good, he says. It pushes him. For example, after only four months of being in Miami, Nizri secured himself a White Party gig. And after hearing Nizri spin at the popular South Beach eatery Cafeteria, Jaie La Plante, Director of the Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, this year Nizri was invited to play the festival's opening night gala at the Sky Lobby in downtown Miami.

If there is one word to describe Oren Nizri's sounds, it would be uplifting. "I play different venues," Nizri says. "But mostly I play soulful vocal house, very danceable. Or I'm going to play circuit sounds. I'm on the happy side," he says. "I play lots of vocals and tribal beats. I don't play dark. I want people to dance and have fun". Nizri has befriended a number of high profile DJs,and the list of music masters he admires is endless. Among those whose work he admires are David Morales, Frankie Knuckles, Chris Cox and Hex Hector.

Soon, Florida audiences beyond South Beach will be able to hear Nizri's sounds. He is planning a tour of the state this month, though the exact dates and venues have not been nailed down yet. When Nizri is not at gigs he can be found at Base in South Beach. Base has a music department where Nizri stays up to date on all the latest sounds and releases. Nizri does not have much time to go out to clubs, he says, but when he does he frequents both straight and gay clubs, as long as the music is to his liking. In terms of the gay scene in Israel, Nizri says it is comparable to that of South Florida's. "Israel has a developed gay scene, especially in Tel Aviv," Nizri says. But in terms of flavor, South Beach is unique, he feels. "There is something special here that you can't find anywhere else," he says.
