Welcome to Episode 90 of Kultivation w/ Kevie!
In this exciting episode, I sit down with Amani Roberts — also known as DJ AmRo — a professor, author, entrepreneur, and internationally recognized DJ whose career seamlessly blends creativity, leadership development, and the transformative power of music. Amani shares how he transitioned from a long career in corporate hospitality to pursuing DJing full-time, and how that leap of faith reshaped both his identity and his life.
We talk about his creative process and the role lifelong learning has played in his journey, especially as someone who continues to evolve across multiple industries. Amani reflects on how music shapes emotional experiences and why DJing has become a powerful way for him to connect with people and cultures around the world.
Amani also opens up about his book, DJ’s Mean Business, the lessons he teaches his students, and the importance of honoring your curiosity at every stage of life. He speaks candidly about reinvention, embracing discomfort, and trusting yourself enough to pivot — even when the path forward feels uncertain.
This episode is a masterclass in resilience, self-trust, and answering the call to create a life that feels aligned and meaningful. Amani’s story reminds us that it’s never too late to reinvent yourself and that the skills you’ve built along the way can become the foundation for something entirely new.
