I went from unknown to getting booked internationally, and now I help DJs do the same without waiting years to get noticed.
my story
How I went from 9–5 burnout to international DJ.
Just a few years ago, I was stuck in the 9-5 grind — drained, frustrated, and feeling like I was incredibly trapped by life. Every Sunday brought that sinking feeling and I struggled with reoccurring depression. I knew deep down I wanted more than spreadsheets, Zoom meetings and living for the weekend. I wanted freedom. Creativity. A life that was actually enjoyable and fulfilling for me.
I’d always loved electronic music — I was running techno nights back at university, partying at festivals and I was feeling truly alive in those moments. Somewhere along the line, I lost that passion as I got sucked more and more into the 'corporate world'. On my 28th birthday, I made the decision to start learning how to DJ.
That decision changed everything.
In just 2.5 years, I went from pratcising in my bedroom to DJ'ing internationally. I landed regular gigs across Manchester, including two residencies in the heart of South Manchester’s bar scene. I played at some of the biggest venues in the UK — including Ministry of Sound and Parklife Festival — and reached the finals of the elrow Up&Coming DJ competition in 2023.
Eventually, I quit my job, booked a one-way flight, and never looked back.
I’ve since played gigs across Bali, India, Thailand, and Vietnam, built a YouTube channel with 14,000 subscribers. I have now moved to Bali where I currently play 12–15 gigs a month with residencies at clubs, day parties, and bars.
I had spent years developing skills in sales and marketing at various tech startup companies and I figured that if I took those skills and applied it to DJ'ing, surely I would be able to fast track my way to success.
This journey has been wild — but every step has been about betting on myself, learning how to pitch, build a brand, and create real momentum from scratch.
That’s why I created the DJ Business Academy — to help other DJs who are where I once was.
Because if I can do it, so can you.
