DJ Craze on Winning 3 World Titles, Miami Roots & DJ Culture:

In Episode 107 of the Que Bola Podcast, I had the honor of sitting down with a true legend in the game — DJ Craze — a 3-time DMC World Champion and one of the most respected DJs in the world. We started at the top, talking about what it really means to win not just one, but three world titles. Craze breaks down the level of discipline, obsession, and sacrifice it takes to compete at that level — something most people will never fully understand unless they've lived it. From there, we rewind the story back to the beginning. Growing up in Miami after being born in Nicaragua, Craze shares how the city shaped his identity, his sound, and his hunger. We get into the early days of DJing — the grind, the practice, and the moments where he realized he wasn't just talented, he was on a path to becoming one of the best. This conversation goes deeper than just music. We talk about the evolution of DJ culture, how the game has changed over the years, and what separates real DJs from the wave of newcomers in today's era. Craze gives his honest perspective on staying authentic, adapting without losing your identity, and maintaining respect in a constantly shifting industry. What stood out most in this episode is the mindset. Craze doesn't just talk about success — he talks about the work behind it, the pressure, and the mentality required to stay at the top for decades. This episode is a mix of history, culture, and real-life lessons from someone who has truly mastered his craft. Whether you're a DJ, a creative, or someone chasing greatness in any field, there's something in this conversation for you. This is more than an interview — it's a blueprint. 🎙️🔥

Chasing Dreams: Quitting the 9-to-5 for Stand-Up Success

In this episode of our podcast, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Carlos Hernandez, a talented bilingual comedian and musician, who has been making waves in the South Florida entertainment scene. We kicked off the conversation with some light banter about my music duo, Oro Fresco, which recently earned the title of Miami New Times Best Latin Act for 2024. I shared insights about his unique sound, blending genres like Dembow, Reggaeton, and jungle music, and even teased us with a snippet of his song "Nubes." As we transitioned into deeper topics, we discussed the realities of aging and the physical challenges that come with it. Carlos, at 31, reflected on how he started feeling the effects of aging, while I shared my own experiences of turning 40 and the unexpected aches and pains that come with it. We both agreed on the importance of maintaining a positive mindset and staying active, even as we joked about the struggles of getting older. The conversation then shifted to our journeys in comedy. Carlos recounted his early days in improv, inspired by iconic shows like "The Office" and comedians such as Steve Carell and Louis CK. He explained how he transitioned from a stable job in cybersecurity to pursuing comedy full-time, emphasizing the importance of believing in oneself and taking risks. We discussed the challenges of performing outside of Miami, where audiences may not be as familiar with his material, and the necessity of adapting to different crowds. Throughout the episode, we touched on the behind-the-scenes work that goes into comedy—how comedians constantly refine their material, deal with self-criticism, and navigate the pressures of performing. Carlos shared his experiences of performing alongside comedy legends in New York, highlighting moments that made him pinch himself in disbelief. This episode is a celebration of creativity, resilience, and the vibrant comedy scene in South Florida. Carlos's journey is a testament to the power of passion and hard work, and I hope our listeners find inspiration in his story as much as I did. Tune in for an engaging conversation filled with laughter, insights, and a glimpse into the life of a rising star in the comedy world.

125 Years of Impact: The Legacy and Future of the Miami Women's Club

In this episode of the Que Bola Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Ms. Metris Batts, the first African-American president of the Miami Women's Club, as we celebrated the club's 125th anniversary. Our conversation delved into the rich history of the Miami Women's Club, which was founded in 1900, just four years after the city of Miami itself. Metris shared fascinating insights about the club's origins, highlighting how it began as a gathering of women who would meet on Julia Tuttle's porch to read and share books, eventually evolving into a significant force for community service and civic engagement in Miami. Metris emphasized the importance of the Women's Club in documenting local history and its role in various social service initiatives throughout the years. Despite its long-standing presence, she noted that the club remains "hidden in plain sight," largely due to the older demographic of its members who may not be as active on social media or in publicizing their contributions. We discussed the need for revitalization and outreach to younger generations, as Metris aims to bring new energy and diversity to the club. Throughout our conversation, Metris shared her journey within the organization, from joining in 2008 to becoming president, and how she is working to bridge the gap between the club's storied past and its future. We explored her theme for her presidency, "Be the Torch," which symbolizes the passing of knowledge and the importance of keeping the club's legacy alive. Metris also highlighted the club's historic building, which houses two restaurants and serves as a venue for various community events, including partnerships with local artists and organizations. As we wrapped up, we discussed the upcoming gala event, which promises to be a vibrant celebration of the club's history and its commitment to supporting the arts and local nonprofits. Metris's passion for community service and her dedication to making the Miami Women's Club a relevant and accessible resource for all were truly inspiring. This episode is a testament to the power of history, community, and the importance of inclusivity in shaping the future of organizations like the Miami Women's Club.

From House Parties to Global Tours: Oscar G's Evolution in the Music Industry

In this milestone 100th episode of the Que Bola Podcast, I had the honor of sitting down with Miami legend Oscar G, a true pioneer in the house music scene. This episode is particularly special for me, as it marks a significant achievement in my journey as a podcaster—100 episodes of hard work, passion, and dedication. Oscar shared his early experiences growing up in Miami, where he began DJing at just 12 years old, influenced by the vibrant b-boy culture and the music scene of the time. We discussed how he and his friend Ralph Falcone formed Funky Green Dogs and started producing music, navigating the challenges of the industry without the modern conveniences of digital technology. Oscar recounted the struggles of getting their music recognized, the importance of building a label, and how they had to create a façade of multiple artists to gain traction. He also reflected on the evolution of the Miami music scene, highlighting the pivotal role of clubs like Score and Liquid in shaping the underground culture. Throughout our conversation, Oscar emphasized his passion for the craft rather than the pursuit of fame or financial success. His dedication to being a master of his art is evident, and it was inspiring to hear how he balances his career with being a husband and father.
