Meet Dj Que | A FATHER & DJ

We had the good fortune of connecting with Dj Que and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi DJ Que, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important factors behind the success of my brand would be the motivation that my beautiful daughter Cya brings me. The responsibility of being the man that she looks up to keeps me on a straight & narrow path to fulfill all the potential I’ve been blessed with. That’s what keeps me going, along with the support of my family & friends. They see all the hard work & they sacrifice so much for me to be in this position that I feel as if I owe them. The long nights of mixing & practicing, being on the road carefree knowing my kid is well provides me with a clear mind to chase my dreams. They push me & continue to give me the freedom to take this as far as I can. They deserve all the credit for my success & with that, I aspire to become one of the Biggest DJ’s not in Ohio, but the world!

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My career started differently than most. Long story short, I wanted to be behind the scenes and make beats for my brother who makes music (Juvie 2xx). DJ Big Al was gonna teach me how to do so but when I saw him DJ my brother’s party, it clicked. This is what I wanted instead. I linked with him and DJ Major Key and the rest was history.

I learned that life as a DJ is not for the weak & that you have more fun when you view it as a career, not a job. I make it a priority to treat every booking/event like it’s my last to ensure that EVERYONE in attendance enjoyed themselves & had a great & fun time, not just a select few. I entertain & use the music to create a story on how I want the vibe to go, instead of just playing music. When the event ends and the memories are created, you’ll remember who the DJ was. That’s what separates me from the 99%.

If you want success in this field, you also have to understand the importance of your brand. When people hear your name, what do they think of? What is it that you represent? As a DJ, you’re the CEO, manager, and associate under one hat & they all must align. Once you understand your brand & how you wanna be viewed, it becomes a lot easier to manage.

There’s plenty of highlights that the success of my career brings me. When I started spinning, my goal was to provide for my daughter without the restraints of a schedule. Ive built my brand brick by brick, to the point where instead of accepting anything offered, I have the luxury of turning down events that doesn’t align with my brand. . That provides me with more time to enjoy my daughter’s childhood. That’s what I’m most proud of!

You learn to appreciate the journey. Every high and low was needed to get here & as much as we’ve accomplished in the short amount of time, we’re just getting started. 2025 will be my biggest year yet! That’s what I want the world to know. We’re just getting started.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
There’s plenty of places to check out in my city, depending on what you’re looking for. We have clubs if you wanna go out, plenty of restaurants, and other fun attractions as well. Me personally, I enjoy places like Top Golf, Scene 75, escape rooms, etc. I try to do different things and expand my horizons so it’s rare if I’m just consumed to staying in my city to have fun. Most of the time, I hit the highway and explore other nearby and bigger cities. Again, there’s plenty to do here and if needed I could show the best of Dayton like no other. Its an amazing city where I’m from with great people here as well.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
There has been plenty of those who have helped to guide me along this journey, starting with my Lord and savior Jesus Christ. From the motivation my daughter Cya brings me, the support of my family and friends, the mentorship from my big brother DJ’s, it never goes unnoticed! I plan to name you all at the right time when given the right time, you all deserve your own individual flowers. Until then, I would love to just thank you all! I wouldn’t be where I’m at today without you who love and care for me the most.
