We were lucky to catch up with Yauseaffe Hunt recently and have shared our conversation below.

Yauseaffe, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you talk to us about how you learned to do what you do?

Passion, Practice, and patience. It’s about how bad you want it. It took me eight years to get to my skills here. I treat every jam session like its a live moment even when it’s just me in the room. My biggest obstacle was not holding myself accountable sooner. If I understood DJ’ing was a lifestyle earlier and cared less about what others think from the beginning of my process, I possibly could have sped the process up a bit. This also helped me realize that everyone will not always like or support your craft. That’s fine because the most essential skill to have is communication, networking, and people skills. You can always find the ones that truly show love!

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

I always felt like I was destined for my craft. I’ve always loved music and had a keen ear since a kid. I enjoy various of genres of music. When I am not DJ’ing, I enjoy having fun with my classic muscle cars. I started my DJ career eight years ago, while attending Austin Peay State University. I would spend countless hours every chance I could on my board. You would have thought I was having a house party everyday. After I received my Business Degree I decided to take it to the next level with my skills. At this point I begin to focus more on the business aspect of my craft.

I would have to say that I am proud that I took that risk. When it comes down to self promotion, networking, and craft, and business, I feel like that’s where a lot of creatives or business owners get overwhelm or self concuss. If you never try how would you know? I wouldn’t say its easy at all, but it’s definitely worth it. I love to see clients, followers, fans, and viewer enjoying my art just as must as I am. When it comes to my brand, my focal point is to create an unforgettable experience through skill, craft, and musical storytelling.

Is there something you think non-creatives will struggle to understand about your journey as a creative?

I consider myself a creative artist. A lot of people are not going to understand the dedication, blood, sweat, and tears put in to what you do. Whether is about to the cost for your product or despite the lack of support, you have to keep going. In my opinion, this is were creatives and non creatives clash. Respect the art.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

The most rewarding is when you can reflect back on your past. Then look at how far you are now. The biggest thing is starting and understanding that everything takes time. When you put the work in day by day it reflects in the bigger picture. It’s hard to see it then or now, but knowing it will be worth it in the end makes it rewarding. I can recall a lot of fun times and people that I met because of my passion. DJ’ing is a lifestyle in itself. Its up to you to make it worth while. I enjoy it evetime, some days more than others.
