Interview With DJ John Hitta

Blog Week 3

The person that I choose to enter into my blog post is a heavy hitter in the music industry, DJ/Producer John Hitta out of Miami, Florida.  Knowing DJ Hitta for only a short time, I can professionally say that he is highly affiliated with the music industry and his role as a DJ for 99.1 JAMZ and a producer that works with several successful people in the industry like May Bach Music, May Bach Latino, Slip N Slide, ICON Music, LIFE ENT, ALL Star Management and he recently signed with the WuTang Clan to name a few.  His honest, humble, professional demeanor and natural appreciation for his supporters has helped him to build lasting relationship thus far.  When interviewing DJ Hitta, he expressed that the most important part of negotiating a business deal is to make sure you maintain your professionalism in order to achieve your ultimate goals.  He stated that his role as a professional, producer, and entrepreneur, and DJ requires him to wear several different hats, while still maintaining his ethical values and direction.  Furthermore, he feels that in order to reach “super production status” in the industry, you must be willing to sacrifice your personal time, sometimes money, to market, network endlessly and develop a strong autonomy of business relationships, by learning quickly the do’s and don’t of the business.  Also who is with you and who is not.  John feels that his success is owed to making the right decisions in order to gain his leverage and power, and by offering services that his clients need.  He wins in this business basically because he make it a habit to gets paid on the front as well as the back end of business transactions, which makes it essential to have a good attorney on staff, as well as knowing legal policies and procedures too.  In closing, John’s final word of encouragement to all up and coming entertainment executives is to stay focus, and continue to harness, and prefect your craft and you will most likely achieve multi-platinum status, that is sought after by various high profile artist.  To follow John Hitta on Twitter: twitter.com/djjohnhitta and on Facebook: facebook.com/djjohnhitta.
