In this episode, DJ2FOUR7 sits down with DJCEEB, a DJ, producer, and entrepreneur whose journey defines the term "relentless drive". DJCEEB provides a deep dive into the technical side of the craft, sharing his specialized systems for organizing Serato music libraries through automation and the specific Serato DJ Pro features that can transform a standard set into a professional performance.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The Power of Focused Practice: CeeB's journey began with a tiny Hercules controller and hours of practice after college, proving that gear matters far less than persistence.
The High-Value Low-Pressure Gig: One of CeeB’s best strategies for beginners was starting in local gyms. It allowed him to play in front of people for hours without the pressure of a dance floor, building the confidence needed for clubs.
Strategic Networking: CeeB didn't wait for agencies to find him. He used Google Maps to identify every bar and club in his radius and sent personalized Facebook messages to every manager.
Workflow and OCD: For CeeB, consistency is king. He maintains a specific "OCD" ritual for his setup—including setting every EQ knob to 12 o'clock—to eliminate nerves and create a predictable performance environment.
The 5 AM Advantage: To balance a day job, a DJ career, and content creation, CeeB utilizes the "quiet hours" of 5:00 AM to 9:00 AM to work on his business without distraction.
BEST MOMENTS
"If you’re a DJ and you haven’t seen this guy's content... you’re not a DJ."
"I had to buy an expensive-ish controller to make sure I went ahead with it. I had to invest to make sure I stuck at it."
"When I’m in that zone, it’s like I’m in the booth on my own and there is no one else in the room."
"Most DJs are introverts. We’re people that like to sit at home, chill, and play music... then next thing you know, we're in front of thousands of people."
"No one cares what you look like on stage... they care about the music. No one is saying 'I liked his set, but I didn't like his voice.'"
