You don't become the guy and then start acting like the guy. You have to be the guy first.
Stop waiting for someone to give you permission to be the DJ you dream of being. Here's the truth no one's going to tell you.
No one's going to look at you and say, yeah mate, you should be a big DJ. Most people are going to look at you like you've lost the plot. They'll think you're delusional. Right up until the day you actually pull it off — and then suddenly they're like, oh yeah bro I always knew you had it. That's just how it works.
The only person who can give you permission to be an artist is you. Not your mate. Not your parents. Not some random promoter. Stop waiting to feel ready, because you'll never feel ready. Stop waiting for a sign. Stop waiting for someone else to validate your dream.
Start being the artist today. Think like one. Work like one. Move like one. Make decisions like one.
You don't become the guy and then start acting like the guy. You have to be the guy first. Then one day the rest of the world catches up.
