We recently connected with David Ortiz and have shared our conversation below.

David, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?

Many years ago, I began my career in the music industry. Through that time I worked on many projects covering different aspects of entertainment including being a dancer, a musician, a singer, master of ceremony, and a performer. At an early stage, I began to learn the business side of the entertainment industry and decided to turn my artistic hobbies into revenue opportunities. In reality, I get paid to do what I Love. Currently, being an exclusive DJ/MC is my favorite gig.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

My stage name is Güitonsky. I’m an Emmy Award Winning Artist from Cleveland, Ohio. Born in Puerto Rico, I began playing instruments at the age of 8yrs old. Little did I know that music would be a part of my entire life. I managed to involve myself in many music projects that taught me numerous skills and brought me many friends. I’ve been blessed to be a performer for many great bands including Son Gitano and Suavecito Project which were nominated for Best Latin Band in CLE. I’ve also had the pleasure of sharing stages with The Labra Brothers, Sammy de León Papo Ruiz, Grupo Fuego, and Ropa Vieja. Eventually I found my calling by becoming an exclusive DJ who caters to those special events such as weddings, quinceañeras, bar mitzvah, award ceremonies, corporate events, etc. The main reason it has been a successful endeavor lays firmly on the entertainment experience I’ve gained throughout the years. In between, I also managed to record 5 singles as an independent artist, which were distributed worldwide. This lead to the opportunity of organizing a very fun US Tour. Now the project I will always remember is a collaboration I participated in with Jorge Ramos and Roselyn Muñiz with which we won an Emmy Award for a Hispanic Heritage Month commercial. That was the perfect milestone of all the hard work and dedication. Today, I provide entertainment throughout Ohio and nearby states. My goal is to continue to make all events into special memories.

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?

Effectiveness and patience are some of the keys to maintaining a relationship with a client who needs to count on you. You have to become a part of their strategic plan.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

In the music industry, many people sacrifice money for the thrill. As a youngster, I was a victim of this. People take advantage of that. Thankfully, I eventually learned and turned that around. Contracts and deposits.
