DJs are saving lives

Last night, entertainment history was made. The 2020 Emmys were socially distanced from 100+ locations. More importantly,  D-Nice served as the first DJ/ Rapper to do the Creative Director of Music/ Co-Host of the show. The CEO of Club Quarantine helped to ensure the production went off without a hitch. This pandemic has highlighted the fact that DJs are saving lives. Chicago is the birthplace of Gospel music. The team at Inspiration 1390am take calls, texts, and emails from their listeners.  Every single day, they get testimonies, sage advice and prayers over the airwaves. Often, the DJs get the same in return. The music is a Ministry for Sonya Blakey, Marcella Jones, and DeAndre Patterson. Whenever I travel back home to Cleveland, it's Haz Matthews chatting it up about the local scene. Staying home has become an exercise in isolation, depression, and hopelessness. People are reaching out to find some sort of comfort and community. Many DJs are putting their product and skills online and on social media. Whether you enter into the Magnificent House Party, Sunday sCQool, or Disco Sunday Fellowship, you're bound to chase your troubles away. I have seen the rise of House music with the Chosen Few DJs, the Hot Mix 5, and House Junkies sponsoring events like drive-ins and picnics for their loyal fans. I've even seen people who used to DJ dust off their equipment to see if they still got it. In fact, there are classes that can teach you how to DJ. All of this proves that the human race starves and will search for connections and confirmation.  The ultimate goal is a sense of wellbeing and belonging. Many lessons are being taught about pivoting your talents into a livelihood. I implore you to follow your calling. Hone your craft so that you are ready to be the next "overnight sensation". Let's take our creativity to the limits in pursuit of the best life. The purple life. What's the name of your favorite DJ? What type of music do they play? Are you inspired to reach for your own success? Please comment below. Thank you for stopping by. Take Care and God Bless!!!
