We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Jeff Veliz a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Jeff, thanks for joining us today. Looking back, do you think you started your business at the right time? Do you wish you had started sooner or later

I love this question, it lets you reflect on everything you’ve done until this point. I decided to join the music industry about 5 years ago and started my record label about 6 months now.

What pushed me to kick start my record label was my school. I am thankful for what I’ve learned during my time in school and I am putting everything I learned to the test.

I do wish I had started a bit sooner, this would have allowed me to scale up from a different angle. I didn’t start sooner because I had no guidance. For this reason, I’ve decided to launch my YouTube channel to do just that, to give guidance to those who need it.

Looking back at my experience, I would only change how I projected my thoughts, I’ve come to realize that some people ( Gatekeepers) don’t like to hear the truth, but it’s time for a change. I think I am where I’m supposed to be, I’m ready for what’s coming.

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?

Hello everyone my name is Jeff Veliz, I am a DJ music producer. The way I got into the music industry was through my love of house music. I’ve been listening to his music since I was 17 years old, my first record being explosion by DJ Boris. I started going out to house music clubs, when I was 18. My love for house music grew so much that a couple of years later I decided to get my first DJ equipment it was a small controller that worked with my laptop.

As time went on, I got more curious about this house, and the music industry, and all of the sudden I wanted to be like the main headliner. These headliners travel, the world, making people feel good on the Dancefloor, and I wanted to do just that, not knowing how hard the music industry was, but I was determined.

I had to discipline myself, I went to school graduated, and learned everything I needed to learn to get myself started. A year after graduation I am finally seeing the results of what I’ve learned.

I provide a couple of services, one of them is what I like to call “Feel good music”. I make music, I produce music for the people, we music producers spent countless of hours, creating a melody, a song to release to the public in hopes to get a reaction from these songs. Sometimes a song will do great other times a song will flop, but we don’t give up..in the music industry, persistence is key.

the second service I provide is DJing for the people and making them dance, and my last service is teaching music production. and my last service is teaching music production. the age of 15 years and up.

what I’m most proud of is getting my record label “ L.T.M.S RECORDS (LET THE MUSIC SPEAK RECORDS) started. I decided to launch my record label after one of my songs of hit 125,000 streams on Spotify. This made me realize how important music production is to building a successful Djing career..

Since starting my label, we have dropped 18 songs and continue to create and perfect the quality of music that is released As well as our art work.

we are looking to lead the way in Web3 and NFT music releases, I can’t talk to much on this subject, but just know the future of new music producers, and rising artist will be part of this change.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

what I think helps build my reputation in the music industry were my DJing skills and music selections. when you have a room full of 600 people and one person is moving a room full of house music lovers, that’s a skill. You have to understand that people who listen to house Music are very particular about what or who they listen to.

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

The lesson I had to unlearn was to keep my thoughts to myself. I am the type of person who likes to express my feelings and what I think it’s right and wrong, sometimes this process can be taken as below ng arrogant, and to that, I say It’s only arrogant to those who are in the wrong. If I am wrong then I’ll try to right my wrong.
