We had the good fortune of connecting with Mike Calderon and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mike, what is the most important factor behind your success?
I have always been socially inclined individual. I love making people happy and seeing them smile. I love bringing joy to peoples’ lives through my art as a DJ and through my music. I believe the accumulation of followers in my social database is large mainly due to my great personality and the way I talk, adapt, and listen to people. It all comes down to customer service. The more you are better at it, the more people will listen, follow, and trust you. As a DJ/event organizer, every person that walks through the door, I always make them feel at home and give the best performance I can.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I love Latin music, but mainly Salsa. I continue to organize latin dance events in the Miami area and I love every minute doing it. It has been a long and rough road and it was not easy. Keeping a positive mindset, improving business strategies, and self-reflecting were keys to my current success. The most important thing to never forget, is to never give up. The moment you give up on your dreams, is the moment your dream dies. If you are ever in Miami, look me up so I may invite you to my events and promise you will have a lot of fun.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My succes is due to my mother and my sister who have really supported me and beleived me through all the lows and highs of my life and career.
