Today we’d like to introduce you to John Murray.
John, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I grew up in a poverty situation, so a lot of life I had to teach myself. To complicate matters, I had to have emergency brain surgery two weeks before I was supposed to go to basic training for the Air Force, so I had to rethink my career path and future at the age of 18 years old. I then had to choose to either be a drone in corporate America or try to do something that I love. I then went back to my roots of doing DJ work for Radio Stations and Mobile DJ companies. From there, I made valuable connections and continued to work hard every day to build the brand and product we have today.
Has it been a smooth road?
Absolutely not! Anyone who builds a company from the ground up is going to have growing pains, and make mistakes. These can be everything from staffing issues, logistics, accounting, etc. Especially in the entertainment and sports world. However, what defines you is how you learn from your mistakes and thrive.

Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
I absolutely LOVE Atlanta! I love the diversity, culture and fast past vibe. I love the southern hospitality, the food, and the opportunities. As far as what I like the least is traffic, and people driving like its the fast and the furious!
