After a twenty-year career in hospitality sales and management at Marriott, Amani Roberts decided to turn his weekend passion as a disc jockey playing music at clubs and special events into a full-time career.

Today, he has made it as a sought-after DJ, teacher of aspiring DJs, writer and podcast creator.

A combination of dedication and education fueled his success over the past sevens years. He reports that he is working harder than ever but he's happier than ever too.

Amani and I met in a study room at the public library in Manhattan Beach, California.
