Testimonials
I really enjoyed the program because we went through each topic of DJing in a clear and engaging way, and
even got to explore Ableton. Even though it was just one month, I felt like we were able to cover a lot and
dive into many areas that gave me a solid foundation

looked up to emkay as an open format DJ and the nightlife , trying to follow his steps in this industry.
