DJ Aghori: Turning Music Dreams Into a Global Stage Reality
  • PublishedSeptember 11, 2025

Music has the power to change moods, connect people, and create unforgettable moments. For DJ Aghori, music is more than just sound. It is his passion, his dream, and his career. Over the last seven years, he has turned his love for music into a full-time profession. From small shows in India to international events, his journey is a true example of dedication and hard work. Today, he performs in the United Arab Emirates, living the dream he always wanted.

This is the story of DJ Aghori, a story of never giving up and following passion with heart and soul.

Early Life and First Career Steps

Like many young people, DJ Aghori first chose a career path that seemed safe and practical. He studied in the hospitality industry and started work in that field. But deep inside, he knew he was not happy. His heart was always in music.

As a child and teenager, he loved listening to different beats and sounds. Music made him feel alive in a way no other work did. Even while studying and working in hospitality, his passion for music kept growing stronger.

One day, he made a bold choice. He decided to leave the safe path behind and take the risk of becoming a Disc Jockey (DJ). He did not have contacts in the industry. He had no ready network to help him. But he had his passion, and that gave him the courage to start.

First Shows and Learning Stages

In the beginning, opportunities were small. He played at weddings, birthdays, and private parties. These were not glamorous events, but they were important because they gave him practice. Every small show taught him something new: how to mix songs, how to read the crowd, and how to keep the energy alive.

His first big break came when he was hired as a resident DJ at a club. This gave him the chance to perform regularly and sharpen his skills. From there, more opportunities opened. Over the years, he played as a guest DJ in 20 to 40 clubs across India, while also working as a resident (in-house) DJ for 4 to 5 clubs consistently for the past six years.

Each performance was another step forward. Each show added to his confidence. Slowly, he built a name for himself in the music industry.

Achievements That Made Him Proud

One of the highlights of his career was being invited to judge the War of DJs competition at L.S. Raheja College. This was a big honor. It showed that people now saw him not just as a performer but also as someone experienced enough to guide new talent.

For DJ Aghori, this was a special moment. Once he had been the beginner looking for a chance, and now he was supporting the next generation of DJs.

Today, his biggest achievement is performing in the United Arab Emirates, which was always a dream for him. Playing in an international market proved that his hard work and persistence had truly paid off.

Facing Struggles and Growing Stronger

The life of a DJ is not always easy. There were many times when challenges tested him.

Sometimes he played in almost empty clubs. At first, this was disappointing. But instead of giving up, he used these shows as practice. He tried new mixes, experimented with sounds, and polished his skills.

Technical issues were another challenge. During live shows, problems with sound systems or equipment can suddenly happen. In those moments, a DJ must stay calm and keep the crowd engaged. “If you panic, the crowd feels it. If you stay confident, they stay with you,” says DJ Aghori.

These experiences made him stronger, more patient, and better prepared for the big stages he performs on today.

Balancing Jobs in the Early Days

One of the hardest parts of his journey was the early stage when money was tight. Coming from a simple family, DJ Aghori could not depend on music alone at first. He worked two jobs: a full-time job in a corporate office as a customer service agent during the day, and DJing at night.

This meant he slept only four hours a night, spending the rest of his time working or traveling. It was a very tough lifestyle. But instead of breaking him, it made him disciplined. It taught him patience, focus, and the importance of hard work.

Looking back, DJ Aghori says that this period shaped his personality. It made him stronger, more dedicated, and ready to face challenges without fear.

The Values That Guide Him

Every artist has personal values that guide their journey. For DJ Aghori, three words are key: 

Dedication, Commitment, and Consistency.

  • Dedication: Always giving 100% to every performance.
  • Commitment: Sticking with his passion even when things were tough.
  • Consistency: Practicing, improving, and showing up again and again.

He believes that these values are the real secret to success in music and in life.

Current Work and Future Vision

Right now, DJ Aghori is busy creating new mashups and remixes. He wants to bring fresh energy to every set and surprise his audience with unique sounds.

His future goal is clear: he wants to perform across the world. He dreams of spreading love and positivity through his music. He also wants to stay ahead of trends. The music industry changes quickly, with new genres coming up every month. DJ Aghori sees this as an opportunity to create and inspire. He aims to bring new ideas that connect with young people and spread positive vibes.

Words of Advice for Young DJs

When asked what advice he would give to aspiring DJs, DJ Aghori speaks with honesty:

“Do not give up. Don’t hide your skills, even if you are nervous. People might laugh at you, but keep playing. Keep showing up. In one year, if you stay consistent, your life can change.”

This advice reflects his own story. From small weddings to international stages, his success came not from luck but from staying consistent and refusing to give up.

An Inspiring Journey

DJ Aghori’s life shows us that dreams are possible if you work for them. He started with no contacts and no clear path. He worked two jobs, slept little, and faced many struggles. But with patience and hard work, he built a career that now inspires others.

For him, the stage is more than just a place to perform. It is a space to connect with people, spread energy, and share love through music. His journey is proof that when passion meets persistence, success follows.
