I come from a non-musical background. I set foot into this field in 2012, when I was in twelfth grade. My family was against my decision of becoming a DJ as they feared what our relatives would say, but I knew if I will be consistent in this field and put my heart and soul into it then I can obviously do wonders.
Rejections were a constant thing at the beginning. Back then, when I used to show up at the venue or a club, other experienced DJs used to criticize and pass comments like ‘Basti chua asigala’. I have cried my eyes out, a number of times but at the same time it added to my tenacity and that’s what kept me going.
I was never given a chance and nobody favored me over others due to groupism. Following a mob mentality was against my principle so, I started with very small shows in college fests, farewell parties. Then, around 2015, people started to know me due to word-of-mouth publicity.
I became popular among the youth. Offers started pouring in and eventually my graph started to rise. I have also been the ‘Official DJ’ for RedBull of east India and toured around India in 2016 and 2018 for the same. Interacting with the audience and keeping them hooked to the music has been my motto.
Looking back at the struggles and criticism that I have faced, now I can happily say that they all were worth it. By God’s grace I’m well off and my parents are also happy and proud of what I am today. – DJ Azex
