lighting, which has now expanded to involve music recording and production. His company also provides music entertainment services for all occasions such as weddings, concerts, non-profit organization parties, conferences, high school shows, and dances. As a company, he strives to inspire, motivate, and be involved in things that benefit both communities and individuals as a whole, through music.

The hardest obstacle for him to overcome while venturing through his DJ career was believing in himself enough to know that he could actually make something out of what he was doing. There will be many doubters and people along the way that do not only doubt you but actually try to hurt you mentally and emotionally. The advice that DJ-Dee offers to everyone who may be seeking to start their own venture is that, “it’s better to try and have failed than to fail by not trying.” As long as you try, then there is no shame in failure. Everyone who succeeds has failed before. It’s not a matter of doing it right or wrong, but rather a matter of experiments.

One of his favorite quotes is by Thomas Edison in regards to his greatest discovery. He said, “I have not failed, I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” So no matter what your endeavor is, remember that failure does not exist as long as you try.

DJ-Dee would like to give a special thanks to all those he's has had the opportunity work with and those who have influenced and mentored him along the way. Without everyone’s guidance and help, it would have been a very difficult journey.
