I thought being a DJ champion would turn my career around. It didn’t.

What did though were 3 qualities I found in myself that you too can find in you.

►SCRIPT

People usually say that “those who can’t do, teach”. And as hurtful as that sounds. It was kinda true for me. But not in the way you think.

You see when I started this Youtube channel, my DJ career was kinda dead. I didn’t have any gigs, nor any club residencies.

And you may think that being a DJ champion would’ve gotten me somewhere. Surely winning 3rd place in the World DJ championships, would’ve at least landed me something. But nothing really came out of it. Only thing I got from winning was a title.

But something in me.. didn’t wanna go for the latter option. I still believed that following your dreams will get you somewhere. And so far believing got me skills and a title, And I wanted to know what would happen down the road if kept believing and if I kept working.

But my friends and family didn’t want me to go thru that path. They were fed up and concerned with my lack of progress as a DJ at the time. And they always asked me “what about the money, what about the future. You’re a DJ champion and it’s gotten you no where. Are you sure this DJing is going to work”? And to be honest with you, those questions were the same questions I asked myself everyday.

And the best answer I could give them and myself was “I don’t know. I don’t care. But I’m going to make this work”

So long story long.

I started making Youtube live remixes, and that kinda got the ball rolling. Then I started making vlogs, and that slowed the ball down. And then I started to make Youtube tutorials, and everything and I mean everything changed.

Because of those videos, I actually started getting gigs, and making money and making ends meet, and things were looking good. But also because of those videos, I started spending less time with my family, friends and loved ones. I was always editing, writing and shooting. And if I wasn’t doing that, I was djing. And eventually I got burnt out DJing and making videos.

I wanted to stop! I disliked it! What’s the point of doing something you love, if you don’t love it anymore.

But I still kept going and going and going. For you guys.

And 5 years later after making my youtube channel, and 2 years later after taking youtube seriously in 2017, we’re finally here at 100k. And so the one thing I learned from being a DJ for 10 years, was that patience, persistence and consistency are the keys to success.

Patience in yourself, and in your progress as a creator, & as a DJ.

Persistence in pushing thru with all the work, suffering and disappointments.

And consistency in putting out the best content you can put out every single time.

So if there’s anything I want to impart to you as a young DJ starting out.

If you really really wanna make it out as a DJ and as a creative. You have to ask yourself. How long can you keep working without a prize, without recognition, without success, and without an end goal insight.

And if your answer to that is “I don’t know. I don’t care. But I’m going to make it work”, then you my friend, are on the right path.
