About this listen

Dreaming of becoming a successful DJ? Touring the world, playing major festivals, releasing music on top labels—this book gives you the real roadmap to make it happen.

Written by an international DJ and producer who started with nothing, did all by himself and went from playing alone in his bedroom to performing at legendary clubs like Ministry of Sound, top 100 DJ MAG venues, festivals like Ultra Europe, and holding residencies in Asia’s hottest venues. He’s released tracks on labels such as Revealed, Sony, and Warner, collaborated with Akon, Flo Rida, Nicky Jam, and gained support from top DJs including David Guetta, Hardwell, Nicky Romero, Don Diablo, Fedde Le Grand, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, and many more.

This is a guide based on real experience, not theory. Whether you’re just starting out in your bedroom or already DJing and ready to level up, this book will show you how to:

  • Get your first gigs and grow your career from local events to international tours
  • Release music on respected labels and earn support from top DJs
  • Build your brand, market yourself like a pro, and stand out in a crowded scene
  • Collaborate with vocalists and producers to create original music
  • Monetize your DJ skills through multiple income streams
  • Take care of your mindset and mental health while building a long-term career
  • Understanding the impact and opportunities of AI in music
  • And much more

With 20 action-packed chapters, you’ll learn everything from finding your first crowd to rocking major stages, avoiding common mistakes, showing you the struggles, and doing the hard work that actually leads to success.

This isn’t a book full of hype or empty promises—it’s a straight-talking, experience-based guide from someone who’s done it—and wants to help you do it too.

“If I could make it… so can you.”
