Today we’d like to introduce you to Brandon Rivera
Hi Brandon, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
From Childhood Dream to Headlining DJ
My passion for DJing ignited at age 7, watching a live DJ perform at a shopping mall in Woodbridge NJ. Years later, in high school, I began my journey as a DJ, dedicating myself to honing my craft. I spent years performing for free or low pay, building my reputation and skills. Through persistence and hard work, I developed my expertise and started booking shows. Today, I’m a successful entrepreneur and traveling DJ, headlining nightclubs and selling out my own events.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It was absolutely NOT a smooth road.
Overcoming Adversity: My Journey as a Self-Taught DJ
As an aspiring DJ, I faced numerous challenges that tested my resolve and passion. With no financial resources, connections, or access to nightclubs (the closest being 40 minutes away in a small city), I had to rely on my own determination. I was ridiculed for pursuing my dream, and constant rejection from fellow DJs made it difficult to stay motivated. Without formal training or guidance, I was completely self-taught, learning through trial and error. Despite these obstacles, I persevered, driven by my love for music and DJing. Through hard work and resilience, I transformed these struggles into opportunities, ultimately achieving success and becoming a headlining DJ.
