Takeaways

One of the biggest mistakes I made was sticking to the theme.

Most people want to turn up, most people want to twerk.

The big mistake I made was sticking to the theme because of my ego.

We're DJing for people, not for ourselves.

If your audience is not feeling it, leave that genre alone.

A lot of times us DJs will be persistent and say, hey, we're only gonna play this.

There's a great probability that you may not have a perfect night.

I can't play for myself, that's just not how things work.

I learned to always have my ego in check.

It's not about me, it's about the audience.
