In an episode of Mauricio Mejia Live, twin DJs Carlos and Beto from the Bay Area share their unique entrepreneurial journey in the music industry. Initially from a construction background, the twins discuss their transition to DJing and their subsequent growth, influenced heavily by their father and mentors. They discuss overcoming challenges such as the Covid-19 pandemic by reevaluating their approaches. Comprehending the business aspect of the industry besides the creative side has been an important part of their journey, with aspirations of diversifying into real estate and owning a record label. The twins also share their experiences navigating promoter relationships, sponsorships, and relate to their experiences often feeling like outsiders. They stressed the significance of understanding venue owners and using industry-specific jargon to establish credibility. Drawing from their Latino heritage, the duo underscores the importance of community support, advocating for helping others without expecting anything in return, a value instilled in them by their family. They also introduce their stage names, OTEB and SOLRAC, which are their real names spelled backward, and invite listener engagement over social media. Looking forward to 2024, they remain optimistic about future joint ventures, while underscoring the importance of a strong work ethic and professional conduct.
