When I first came across Devin Hype, I was walking through NAMM and saw him on stage showcasing his talents. I was just starting For The Rotation and knew that I wanted him on my show as a guest. A year later, I set a goal to ask as many DJs One Question for Inspiration. My question was, what is the one thing you have learned throughout your career that you can share with others on how to achieve their dreams? His answer was phenomenal and blew me away. You can find his answer on our YouTube Shorts or social media, but after capturing that moment, we exchanged information, and the rest is history. This episode is truly special and offers a wealth of knowledge. We will chronologically go through his life and milestones as you learn about the determination, mindset, inspiration, and consistency that can lead you to success. You also learn that it’s okay to not know where you are going, just as long as you continue to work in something you are passionate about. Join me as we dive deep into the life of Devin Hype and uncover how he did it all, For The Rotation!Guest: Devin Hype
