Chad, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Are you able to earn a full-time living from your creative work? If so, can you walk us through your journey and how you made it happen?
Yes, I been able to earn a living from my creative work. Because I don’t just DJ I created my own merch, and I draw, paint went to school for graphic design. Yes, it have been like that from day one. I started DJ to help get my brothers music out to local, and worldwide. This older guy that was helping us get our music out stated to me that I was the machine already we just need help to get our music, and me DJ on bigger platforms. I probably could sped up but I wouldn’t have learn to know the things that I know if I wouldn’t have went through anything.
