ABOUT SCRATCH

How do you create a 30+ year career in a famously unforgiving industry? How do you become one of the top 100 most influential people in music? How do you build a legacy?

It comes down to mentality. Don’t see what comes next. Be what’s next. Grab every opportunity. Face every fear. Blow the roof, walls, and dooRs off every venue until everyone knows your name. That’s how you turn house parties into club nights into arena tours. That’s how you Elevate To Graduate.

There are a million good DJs out there. Starting From Scratch is a great one.

He credits this to a combination of hard work, circumstance and reputation. Plus, a natural-born hustle that sees him creating trends rather than following them, honing new skills and exploring new platforms to stay relevant, and being one of the hardest workers in the business. And, like any good leader, he gives back to the community that raised him, mentoring up-and-comers and speaking openly about his struggles, both professional and personal.

Legacies aren’t built on skill alone. They’re built on heart, hustle, and hard work.
