Today we’d like to introduce you to DJ Vybe. They and their team shared their story with us below:
DJ Vybe ™, a Virgo native of Westchester County, New York, born September 8th started pursuing his interest in DJing at age 16 as Hip-Hop, R&B, and music were giving birth to some of its greatest talents; artists like Notorious BIG, Mary J. Blige, Pearl Jam, Madonna, and Tupac rose and dominated the everyday sound on radio stations across the USA.
DJ Vybe ™ performs as a true DJ Turntablist should—using Technics 1200s turntables with digital vinyl Serato Scratch Live/VDJ, connected to an ear piercing 8000 watts scooped sub-woofer speaker system. Loud enough to rock a football field or scaleable for a party of 25, and custom-made with only the best.
In January 2013, DJ Vybe gained recognition for ranking in the Top 150 DJs (out of more than 2,100 DJs) on the National DJ Rankings for Hip-Hop/R&B by @ReverbNation. With more than 10 years of DJ experience with him, DJ Vybe ™ continues to set the crowds on fire with bookings for Clubs, Parties, Corporate Events, and Weddings in more than 50 US cities. He continues to hold the title down by not only ranking in the Top 150 USA DJs 2014 but also maintaining a solid 12+ months in the Top 1,000 DJs in the World (out of more than 8,400 DJs) for Hip-Hop/R&B on Reverb’s Global DJ Charts. And in September 2015 DJ Vybe was awarded and named #1 of the “10 Best DJs in New York” by Thumbtack.com.
Some of this is likely due to the fact that the majority of tracks on his last 4 mixtape releases ended up ranking on Billboard’s Top 100 list 3-6 months later; demonstrating his skill to recognize and play hit-makers before they become hits.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Like any other business or entertainer, I had to find ways to jump to the top of the competition by gaining bookings with prominent persons and venues to gain credibility, as well as diversified marketing strategies. Growth on social media was also important.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
