Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to KB. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
KB, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Parents play a huge role in our development as youngsters and sometimes that impact follows us into adulthood and into our lives and careers. Looking back, what’s something you think you parents did right?
My parent definitely taught me how to stay motivated and work hard. Seeing my both my parents go to school . work a full time job, all while being full time parent to both me and my brother showed me that you can achieve whatever you set your mind to no matter what is going on. You put effort and give it 100 percent.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
My name is KB. I am a female DJ in Atlanta, Georgia, I first got into the industry while being away at college, Albany State University. I have always loved music, but in college I was able to be around the atmosphere and connect with people who were willing to teach me more once I expressed interest. I began to be excel at the craft that I fell in love with. I moved back to Atlanta and I my name started to become a name to people. I was booked for lounges and private parties just in 2 months of me moving back and ultimately was getting booked 5-6 time throughout the week .With being in the industry , I was meeting celebrities , getting advise from older DJ’s and started to make friends in the industry. Later on, I decided that I wanted to start my own entertainment company and I plan to have a lot of other businesses under it.
Can you talk to us about how your side-hustle turned into something more.
Absolutely. I did not except to be this deep into it ! I really was just a hobby and all fun and games. I had a cheap board, laptop, and speakers. I would be just in the house messing around , making terrible mixes ( now that I have gotten a lot better and have listened). Once I got around real Dj’s and saw the need as well as how much I could be making off of something I love while having fun was amazing and it got me very motivated to take it to the next level.
What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?
I am just now getting this concept because my wife has been in my corner pushing me to do better on social media because I am very low-key. I have been getting new connects on social media, going to networking events and doing great at the events that I work so word can travel. Social media is a free outlet for businesses to promote and let people see what you can offer as a business.
