About DJ Lessons & Coaching
Real Club Experience, Not Just Talk
I’m DJ Calie, and I live this life every week—clubs, crowds, and all the madness. I’ve opened for big acts, judged the War of the DJs, and now I’m here to show you how to actually make people dance. If you’re tired of just watching YouTube, you’re in the right place.
The Basics That Actually Matter
We’ll get straight into DJ mixing basics using the same gear you’ll see in real gigs. I’ll show you my way of blending tracks with EQs, no awkward transitions. Whether it’s Serato or Rekordbox, you’ll get hands-on and learn stuff you can use right away.
Building Sets & Reading the Crowd
It’s not just about pressing play. You need to know your tracks—like, every drop and every intro. I teach you how to build energy in your set and, most important, how to read the crowd. If you want to hold a room and keep it lit, this is key.
Find Your Own Sound
Copying playlists? Nah. We’ll experiment with live mashups, unique transitions, and help you find what makes your style original. Doesn’t matter if you’re into Hip-Hop, Afrobeats, or old school.
Mindset & The Hustle
There’s more to it than beats. I’ll give you the inside scoop on DJ battle preparation, staying creative, and what it takes to really stand out. If you’re ready to put in work, let’s go, fam.

My Story
Ayi! Yo, it’s Calie. Been dreaming of this DJ life since I was a kid, and now, I'm living it for real. My crew? Couldn't have done it without them, straight up. We hustled hard, made memories—like opening for Nick Carter, wild stuff, man. Still got a long road, but the vibe’s always up. YEET!
My Work
My Sound - I spin Hip-Hop, Afrobeat, Amapiano DJ sets, Dancehall, RnB, Old Skool, and all the club bangers for any party or wedding.
The Calie Experience - I bring the hype—reading the crowd, dropping fresh beats, making sure everyone’s singing and vibing. It’s always mental.
Your Favourite DJ - They call me your girlfriend’s favourite DJ. I’m on the mic, getting everyone moving. Party’s never basic with me.
