TDLR; This is a long post but the headline is I’m pausing all my participation in DJing and Latin Dance Event Organizing for the foreseeable future. It’s been a long journey to come to this decision, but it feels like the right thing for me now. Don’t worry I’ll still be around going back to my roots of social dancing for fun and making great playlists! That’s what brings me the most joy and aligns with my desired lifestyle.
I’ve made this decision because I have higher priorities than DJing/Events that are worth my attention, more specifically my growing tech business, my relationship (long distance), and my health (training for an Ironman). The older I get, the more it’s important to me to focus on fewer more important things.
My side quest DJing and organizing was tremendously fruitful! I DJed probably 100 events to big crowds and small, sharing my love for music with my community! I cared a lot and put in a lot of effort, hopefully that showed. Organizing The Peoples Social with by best friends was an awesome experience too, we learned a ton, and I think we changed what people thought socials are and could be. By and large, I’ve achieved the goals I set around DJing/Events Organizing and I’m ready for new adventures.
Even though I don’t plan to DJ or Organize, I still love music. That’s why I’m focusing on making more instrumental focus playlists to help people engage in their work and get into their most productive flow. I’ll be keeping this account alive and post monthly focus flow playlists that help people focus and achieve their goals!
One day I may go back to DJing and Event Organizing, and I will do so with intention and love. Until that day… I’ll still be right here ✌🏽
