Meet DJ Teo

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful DJ Teo a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Hi DJ, thanks for sharing your insights with our community today. Part of your success, no doubt, is due to your work ethic and so we’d love if you could open up about where you got your work ethic from?

I’ve undoubtedly inherited my work ethic from my parents. Growing up, they were the epitome of dedication and perseverance, tirelessly working long hours to ensure my siblings and I had everything we dreamed of. Witnessing their unwavering commitment instilled in me a profound appreciation for the value of hard work and relentless determination. I’m eternally grateful for the nurturing environment they provided, which laid a strong foundation for our lives.
Most importantly, I’m thankful for their priceless gift of instilling in me a formidable work ethic. As an entrepreneur striving to carve out my own path and build a personal brand, I’ve found that the countless days of little to no sleep have been the fuel propelling me to the success I enjoy today. But my gratitude doesn’t stop at my parents—it extends to my entire extended family on both sides, whose love, guidance, and support have been instrumental in shaping the person I am.
I’m incredibly excited about the journey ahead in Los Angeles. As I stand at the threshold of new opportunities, I’m ecstatic about the prospect of giving back to my immediate family. Their sacrifices and encouragement have made everything possible, and I can’t wait to show them just how much their investment in me has paid off!

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?

The next chapters in my life promise to be exhilarating in countless ways. I’m envisioning a vibrant presence not just in Southern California, but across the entire Golden State. My journey thus far has been a centralized around music, as I’ve tirelessly crafted my DJ career in diverse markets nationwide. Now, it’s time to elevate my name right where my heart beats strongest: at home.
In this new era, I’m diving deeper into the creative greenroom of music creation. . Collaborating closely with artists, I aim to birth projects that stand the test of time, weaving sounds that resonate with joy, pain, love, and every emotion in between. This means placing a larger emphasis on executive production. In 2025, I’ll be prioritizing these endeavors, eager to see where my artistic compass leads.
I’m at a thrilling juncture in my career where my travels will be charged with purpose and intent. While the allure of new destinations is always a consideration, I find myself falling in love with California more each day. So, if the call to tread beyond its borders rings true, I’m all for it. But my love for California are growing deeper and stronger, ready to settle as much as I can

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Planning, research, and the power of asking have profoundly shaped my career and journey in countless ways. Through meticulous planning, I’ve embraced a clear vision and set defined goals that align with my aspirations, providing a roadmap towards achieving what I’ve set my heart on. This strategic approach has not only helped me anticipate obstacles but also prepared me to navigate them with confidence.
Research has been my secret weapon. By delving into the success stories of others, scrutinizing their strategies, and keeping a keen eye on evolving markets, I’ve ensured that the quality of my work remains unparalleled. This continuous learning process allows me to innovate, adapt, and remain relevant in an ever-changing landscape.
The power of asking has revolutionized my mindset. Embracing a curious spirit, I actively seek knowledge from those who are blazing trails in similar fields or even excelling beyond. This has fostered a culture of growth and learning around me. Moreover, reaching out to collaborate or partner with others has been a game-changer, as I’ve discovered mutually beneficial opportunities where my own skills could shine and complement others.
The journey is ongoing, as I strive to become better daily. I am currently in a vibrant stage of growth, constantly evolving, and savoring the exciting journey of self-improvement and career advancement.

What do you do when you feel overwhelmed? Any advice or strategies?

When I feel overwhelmed, I’ve developed a system of actions to tackle that feeling head-on. Usually, it stems from having a lengthy list of tasks to accomplish. So, I make it a point to sit down and physically write out everything I need to do. This helps me systematically approach each task, aiming to complete them by the end of the day or week, ensuring that I can cross each one off as I go. Once I have fewer tasks on my plate, I find more freedom to enjoy time with others or dive into creative pursuits.
