DJ KJ

Me: Hey KJ! How’s going recently!

KJ: Hi Jai, I am doing great! How about you!

Me: fantastic! Thanks. Hey, just following up with your DJ Club business, how are you doing so far?

KJ: It’s actually surprised me that there are many people who are interested in this culture and want to learn how to become a DJ. And I have a lot of success that people are paying me to have lessons here in my Club.

Me: Wow, that’s good to hear. I personally love hip-hop music and beats too. I am curious about how big is your market and what area of the market are you currently focusing on?

KJ: Yeah, So right now my market is covering apart of western Qingdao city. We are pretty well known in the area, we are mainly focusing on young people especially people who love hip-hop culture or rap you know, just like you. It’s easy for them to bring a group of people to come to my club. You know, becoming a DJ is not something hard or secret but as you share with those boys they are easy to join you.

KJ and friend

Me: Wow! Thanks, KJ, sounds you are on fire! I feel that you aimed on a great spot that also can deliver this culture to Chinese people. What do you feel is the most important innovation happening right now for your industry?

KJ: mm… Right now, I am interested in autotune which is a fashion way to make music and more stable.

KJ and his partner

Me: Cool, I know Autotune, they usually use it in raps or hip-hops. One last question. Is there any other similar club just like yours in your area or do you have competitors?

KJ: So far no, because DJ culture is kind of new to Chinese and no one really wanted to invest in this area, lesser people would have this skill and come back to China to start a business. So that is also another reason why I decided to start this business.

Me: Thanks KJ, thanks for sharing. This is all for today!

KJ: No problems Jai, contact me anytime.
