It didn’t just change my life-- it made it BETTER...
A LOT BETTER.
When I was 13 I watched a super old DJ YouTube video called SCRATCH BATTLE.
The quality was SUPER WACK (360p vibes)......
but I watched it about 1 million times.
I was so hooked I saved up all my money to buy turntables and a mixer (it’s the ones in that photo)
My DREAM was to DJ on a HUGE stage someday.
I kept practicing everyday all the way through high school...
When I started college my DJ career changed forever.

Here’s what I learned...
DJing was not only fun but-- YOU COULD ALSO MAKE MONEY PLAYING GIGS!!!
I mean come on...
It was an absolute dream for a broke college kid like me... (not broke anymore...)
Although I wasn’t making millions, I knew that these gigs were just stepping stones...
I knew the peak of my career was yet to come...
Foreshadow... I was right.
After college I started playing in Hollywood and became known as “that DJ”
(now I go by Dho...)
I was for sure at the PEAK of my DJ career.
Having ridiculous amounts of fun and a FAT paycheck to match...
Although I was now living my 13-year-old dream of playing HUGE stages...

Something felt off.
I realized that I couldn’t really share this experience with others...
I was self-taught and there were no local DJ schools at the time.
That’s when it hit.
An idea that would not only fulfill a gap in my DJ heart, but a movement that would last for 10+ years...

Academy of DJs.
A community where DJs could support and learn from each other.
My co-founder and I didn’t know it at the time, but...
Not only did we create the fastest way to learn how to DJ..
We also created a like-minded community of creatives that is still growing (over 200+ alumni).
Most people would stop here...
We didn’t.
We wanted to help MORE creatives become SOLID DJs that could rock any stage...
That’s when it hit.
*Cue DJ airhorn*
Introducing the fastest way to learn how to DJ and perform in front of others...
Academy of DJs ONLINE.
Why help only 12 students at a time when we could help any future DJ ANYWHERE in the WORLD.
So that’s our story...Are you ready to create yours?
