Graduates
What our students say.
I walked in never having touched a CDJ. Five weeks later I was playing my first paid gig. The energy in that room is unmatched.

DJ Jo doesn't just teach mixing. He teaches you how to think like a working DJ. That's the difference.

Cohort 01 · Resident, U Street venue
The branding week alone was worth the tuition. I left with a logo, a pricing sheet, and three booking inquiries.
