Meet Cristian Mancia | Disk Jockey

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

Hi Cristian, do you have a budget?
I don’t have a budget when it comes to investing into your brand. Keep investing into your brand in order to have a name for yourself. Many people forget this concept when it comes to marketing their business or brand.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Becoming a disk jockey isn’t as easy at it seems. You have to stand out, out of all the Djs out there. I started off my craft by doing free gigs just to get club owners and promoters to see what im capable of when it comes to rocking a crowd. Whats hard in this industry is sticking out. Doing something that would make you stand out most. There are hundreds of Djs out there. What I had to do was at some extra skills and practice that craft. For example, in my area there is no Dj that really scratches when it comes to skills. They just play song by song and not really give it that wow factor. I practiced my craft everyday until i was comfortable enough to do it in public. From there is where I started to expand my brand and people knew the name Ghost.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Oh man i love this topic. If my friend was to come visit for a week i promise you that he will go back gaining a few pounds. My girlfriend and I love to eat and especially try new restaurants every week. What we usually do is see something on instagram, send it to each other then mark it on our calendar to go visit. We try all types of food. Especially im times square. New York is full of different type of food experiences. Not only that also try different activities from ping pong to arcade to even bowling. We try it all. We also love to go bar hoping and try some of the bars exotic or top drinks they serve. If you’re lucky enough you’ll even run into celebrities in the city. Just the experience overall is something thats memorable.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to take the time to shoutout all my fan base and followers who supported me from the start of my career. Special shoutout to my close friends and family members as well who believed in my craft and pushed me beyond my limits. They told me never give up and just keep aiming towards your goals even when obstacles are in the way.
