Artists: Balancing Day Jobs and Anxiety

A lot of muscians I meet want to ditch the day job for their passion and many get nervous as they grow. Combine those two scenarios together and the path gets a bit tough with building frustration and working in circles. Yet, Many of history’s most celebrated artists didn’t start their careers with financial security or unwavering confidence. They worked day jobs, juggled responsibilities, and, in many cases, struggled with anxiety and self-doubt while building their...

Doing is Better Than Thinking

While I write a lot here about DJ mental health and coaching ideas, there’s something far more effective than reading and thinking. It’s DOING. I met with my friend DG yesterday. He started DJing at eight years old, even playing at school discos. While fully plugged into his passion, he jokingly says the other boys got the girls. A great example of how DJing can be a peripheral and unusual thing to do—one that takes a...

Focus on the Gain, Not the Gap

I was chatting with one of my music mentors, the brilliant Kieran Wilson, and I mentioned that I recently watched a DJ perform—she was a Tech House DJ, bouncing around like an absolute pro. She was so quick, nimble, and talented that it instantly made me doubt my own capabilities. He kindly responded, "Think of a few years ago, when the things you are easily doing now seemed impossible then." A fab perspective shift. Similarly, I worked...

DJ Warrior
March 4, 2025

The DJ Warrior Mindset is needed for bigger gigs.

In The War of Art, Steven Pressfield speaks of Resistance—that invisible force that keeps us from doing the work we are meant to do. DJs are no exception. Whether it’s the fear of failure, the comfort of routine, or the doubt that whispers, “You’re not good enough,” Resistance is always lurking. The antidote? Become a warrior. The Warrior’s Journey: Beyond the First Gig Most DJs obsess over their first gig. The nerves, the excitement, the validation. But the...

Why Imposter Syndrome is a Sign You’re on the Right Path

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t belong behind the decks, you’re not alone. Imposter syndrome is something nearly every DJ experiences at some point, from bedroom selectors to international headliners. But here’s the twist: feeling like a fraud is actually a sign that you’re growing. Instead of letting self-doubt hold you back, you can learn to reframe it as proof that you’re stepping outside your comfort zone—and that’s precisely where success happens. Why Self-Doubt...

Playing Sets Outside Your Normal Genre(s)

Practice doesn’t make perfect. It makes… more practice. The more you do it, the more your skills compound. When you hit a problem or a high-stress moment mid-set, your practice takes over. This is especially true for single-genre DJs like me, where not only do the skills imprint into your brain, but so do the songs. You naturally feel the groove and mix instinctively. 📌 If you’re already a multi-genre DJ, this post isn’t for you. There’s...

What DJs Can Learn from Founders (and Vice Versa)

At first glance, DJing and entrepreneurship might seem like entirely different worlds. One is about crafting sonic journeys, while the other is about building and scaling ventures. But look a little closer, and you’ll see they share the same DNA—creativity, adaptability, and the ability to command a room (or market). The best DJs and the most successful founders approach their craft with a similar mindset. Here’s what DJs can learn from founders—and what founders can take...

The Four Agreements & DJing

Don Miguel Ruiz's "The Four Agreements" offers timeless wisdom that can profoundly impact various professions, including the dynamic world of DJing. I rememebr when I first got the book and gave it to friends and, male & female, put it into practice. A friend's mother created posters for each agreement and put them up in the house, wishing she'd read them years ago. By integrating these agreements into their craft, DJs can enhance their artistry and...
