We had the good fortune of connecting with Jonathan Gomez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jonathan, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The key to our success lies in curating unforgettable musical experiences that resonate with our clients. We prioritize understanding their unique preferences, creating seamless transitions, and keeping the energy alive on the dance floor, ensuring memorable events that set us apart in the DJ business.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
This year was an absolute huge year for my company. I won a DJ competition in Las Vegas at the event industry expo. Initially I was interested in joining as an attendee to learn how to grow and strengthen my business, especially staying up-to-date with the latest trends. When I won the competition, they upgraded my wife’s and my own pass two VIP passes, I was invited on stage to DJ two of the after party’s. I was even featured on the radio in Las Vegas for two guest DJ mixes on Vibe 99.7. Getting recognized from my peers was very excited and humbling. Since that experience, it is opened up the doors to play at more venues, including coyote, night club in Carlsbad, the deck at moonshine flats and Union kitchen, and taphouse in Encinitas. I’ve gotten to wear I am by working on my craft, networking with other DJ’s and word of mouth from happy clients. Every day is a learning experience and audition for future work. The most important lessons I’ve learned from this year is being persistent, patient and humble.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I’d recommend coming to downtown San Diego there are so many great spots to eat and drink it’s hard to narrow it down specific venues.
