We recently connected with DJ Hustle and have shared our conversation below.
DJ, so many exciting things to discuss, we can’t wait. Thanks for joining us and we appreciate you sharing your wisdom with our readers. So, maybe we can start by discussing optimism and where your optimism comes from?
Keeping a positive outlook on life by knowing my spiritual foundation will guide me in the right direction. For me, I believe in God and I trust that I am exactly where I should be in life. Some days are easier than others but I remind myself to learn and embrace these moment. I try to find the “silver lining” in situations through reflection so that I can grow stronger as a person. I believe that by reflecting it reminds me of my past experiences that I have overcome. This provides hope and a positive outlook for any situation I am faced with. This awareness allows me to be optimistic during uncertain or difficult situations. Most importantly, with God by my side anything is possible.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
Everything about entertainment is exciting. My SAG name is Hustle and I am DJ Hustle on the turntables. Hustle is exactly what I do. I create experiences to bring excitement to all my events.
I am a DJ who brings the party to life, I bring the screen to life as an actor, and I capture special moments as a photographer. If it were possible to do all three at once that would be a happy moment for me. My main clientele are corporate events and weddings, but I also enjoy the more intimate events such as private parties and holiday celebrations. My most recent gigs were aboard private yachts in Newport Beach and Long Beach. Boat Parties are especially beautiful during sunsets. On land or at sea…whether I am DJing, acting, or taking pictures, I make it my mission to create memories for my clients to remember for a lifetime.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Integrity, connecting with people, and building relationships. Integrity is most important. This should be the backbone to every business and demonstrated by the actions and choices that are made. As a DJ, this means planning ahead, being punctual, and arriving prepared. My pricing is fair for my clients and I am honest with the services I provide. Next, is connecting with people. This also includes investing the time to get to know my clients so that I understand how to make their vision of an incredible event come to life. From here, I build relationships. I have multiple repeat clients that call me year after year.
How can folks who want to work with you connect?
Networking with other professionals is always helpful. Connecting with other DJs, actors, and photographers is supportive for large events, especially during the wedding and holiday seasons. There are some events I need to decline because I have a scheduled event. If any like-minded DJs and photographers in the Southern California area are in need of referrals, please contact me.
