Today we’d like to introduce you to Brent Barragan.
Brent, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
About two years ago, I use to stunt ride motorcycles before I got into music. When I found out, I was having a baby, I decided to give up my motorcycle riding and find a new hobby. I quickly found music to be the answer I was looking for. I then went all in and started pursuing the career and spent countless hours training and learning the craft. approximately a year into my DJ career, I found my mentor/great friend yodah (Antonio A.) who brought me into his team (global bpm) and really showed me everything I know today for both DJing and producing. I am very thankful for him cause I have grown a lot both career and as a person. I have now DJ in multiple states and also out of the country.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It hasn’t been a smooth road, music is both mentally and physically tiring. There’s a lot of hours we spend collecting music and prepping songs.
Getting into the scene as a club artist sometimes takes DJs 2-5 years just to get into the scene from the bedroom which I was blessed to get in super fast by spending countless hours networking and going out.
Music production is extremely hard to learn and has taken me countless hours and a year to get to where I’m at today and I still have a long way to go. Music production is probably the hardest thing for a growing artist who is looking to make it in the electronic world.
Please tell us about your work.
Jirafa
DJ and producer.
I specialize in all genres of music which is typically called open format(hip hop/reggaeton/EDM/rock/trap).
I’m known for rocking the crowd, creating a party, and being super tall.
I’m most proud of my growth in the amount of time I’ve been in the industry and the steps we’re making to go a lot farther in the future.
The thing that sets me apart from other DJs is my skills on the deck/crowd control/song selections and production of music.
Do you look back particularly fondly on any memories from childhood?
Success is when preparation meets opportunity.
The way I feel the most successful is when I see the smiles on the faces on the dance floor of people enjoying the music I make/play.
