Martin D'Souza

DJ — From Rejection to the Most Talked-About Mid-Week Slot

Rejected by the DJs he admired. Then he built something they couldn't ignore.

Did this hit?

Martin D'Souza's entry into DJing was anything but smooth — rejected by the very DJs he once admired, he sneaked in his own controller and turned a mid-week karaoke slot into the most talked-about night of the week. His story is one of the most motivating in The VIC Fix's entire catalogue.

In Episode 16, Martin and VIC go through the full arc — from the early rejections to global gigs, and everything the DJ world doesn't tell you about how the journey actually works.
