Summary

Today's guest on Join Up Dots is a professional DJ, music producer, entrepreneur, and thought leader based in Los Angeles. A student of music since learning the saxophone at a very young age, his musical knowledge spans numerous decades and crosses multiple genres. Initially, he put his musical career on pause to pursue a traditional career path in corporate America. After moving to various cities and working his way up the corporate ladder in the hotel industry, he decided to pursue his dream in becoming of DJ. In June 2013, he graduated from the internationally renowned Scratch Academy DJ school. This intense year-long program (which is the equivalent to DJ College) has elevated the skill set of our guest in an immense way. This allowed him to create his premium DJ agency, The Amani Experience. He then returned to Scratch Academy in 2015 and completed their Music Production program. In the past three years, he and his team have produced remixes for artists such as Kehlani, Little Big Town, Niia and Camila Cabello and other artists that a middle aged man like me has never heard off. But what this guy is showing is hustle, commitment, the desire to become the best, and put himself first. So when did he realise that putting his dreams on hold was not just a bad idea for him, but actually the world that want his talents. And when did the hard part of growing his business become the fun and the excitement fuelled his passion everyday? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Mr. Amani Roberts.
