Island Life Diaries: Devon "DJ Billy Corduroy" Clark

TELL US WHEN YOU MOVED TO CAYMAN?

I moved to Cayman in November 2004.

WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO MOVE HERE?

I was finishing up with High School and contemplating a gap year. Right before I booked my ticket I was at a party and met two guys that had been chased back by Hurricane Ivan. We chatted for a while and they sold me on life in the Caribbean so I took a chance. The next day I booked a ticket, told my family and 2 days later was on my way.

WHAT DO YOU DO ON ISLAND?

I work at Calico Jacks and also moonlight as a DJ.

SO YOU’RE A DJ? WHERE'S A GOOD SPOT TO GO TO LISTEN TO LIVE MUSIC?

I usually follow the jam night circuit. Each bar hosts a jam night on a different day of the week. Lonestar, The Lodge, and Rackams to name a few.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO ON THE WEEKENDS?

It changes all the time but mostly something involving the ocean. Beach, Diving, Fishing etc. We are so spoiled here that sometimes we forget how lucky we are.

WHERE WOULD YOU SEND TOURISTS FOR SOMETHING FUN TO DO?

Island Drive - the layers only really get peeled back when you head out to the other districts. I always tell people to head out to "the other side" for good fish fry and a maybe a Mudslide with a few stops in between.

FAVOURITE RESTAURANT?

Almost too hard to choose. I don't have a favourite restaurant, but, favourite dishes at different restaurants depending on what mood I'm in. If I have to pick one, I'd say Copper Falls, they have been around for years, are consistent, and reasonably priced.

WHERE'S A GOOD PLACE FOR HAPPY HOUR BEERS WITH FRIENDS?

Calico Jacks without a doubt.

ONE PIECE OF ADVICE FOR SOMEONE WHO JUST MOVED HERE?

Join a club, sports league and or a society!

I was born in Trinidad to a Caymanian father and Trinidadian mother. We moved to Cayman Brac when I was around 5. My parents then came to Grand Cayman to find work and I stayed in the Brac with my grandparents. Eventually my sisters and I moved over to Grand Cayman to join my parents when they settled into jobs and a house. We lived on Shedden Road in an old style Cayman home which is now the site of the building Anderson’s Square. And that’s pretty much where we grew up until my parents bought a “modern” house on Walkers Rd.
