Meet Cardio Cous | DJ

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

Hi Cardio, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
In March of 2020, as the world was in confusion during the early days of the pandemic, I embarked on a personal journey that would transform my life. On my birthday, amidst the global lockdown, I decided to pursue a long-held passion of DJing. With the world at a standstill, I found myself with an unexpected gift of time and space. While many were navigating uncertainty and isolation, I took this opportunity to be still and focus on a passion I had always been drawn to at various times in my past. I had a DJ controller I purchased years ago that was in my closet and was rarely used until this moment.

My approach to building my DJ brand reflects a philosophy that closely mirrors my approach to running (Cardio). It’s all about commitment, consistency, and embracing the process. Just like in running, where steady strides and perseverance lead to growth, I’ve approached DJing with the same dedication. I focus on my personal progress rather than comparing myself to others, and I stay grounded in faith and belief in my own path.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
As a DJ and ambassador for living an active lifestyle, my mission is to inspire others through music and movement. I describe my DJ style as a vibe curator—crafting the perfect atmosphere for every event and client I have the pleasure of working with. My love for music drives me to create experiences that resonate with people.

My background in business and sports has honed my ability to connect with others, maintain professionalism, and understand what truly sets me apart. This unique blend of skills allows me to approach every opportunity with a strong sense of purpose and dedication.

I’m proud and excited about the journey of the Cardio Cous. It’s a chance for me to inspire and serve others by actively pursuing my goals, step by step. One of the key lessons I live by and share with others is to “Win Your Race”, focus on your path, and keep moving forward at your own pace.

I want the world to know that “Cardio” is more than just running. Cardio represents your active pursuit of your desired goals. Find your Cardio and go for it every day.

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?
During their visit, we’ll definitely check out Atlanta’s great food halls for eating, drinking, and hanging out, including Ponce City Market, The Works, and Politician Row. We’ll stay active with rides on E-bikes from Beltline Biking, workouts at The Union Fit Hub, and running at Piedmont Park. We’ll also explore the city, checking out the iconic murals of Outkast, MLK, and John Lewis, as well as the street art at the Krog Street Tunnel. We’ll check out cool spots like Vinyl Friends, MJQ, and Rocksteady. And of course, we can’t miss catching a game or concert at Mercedes-Benz Stadium or State Farm Arena.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
A big shout-out to my wonderful wife, supportive family, amazing friends, and the Cardio Cous community for all the incredible support. I also want to extend my gratitude to The Union Fit Hub, Westside Twitch, my corporate partners, and all the DJs and fitness professionals I’ve had the chance to collaborate with on this journey. Your support and collaboration are deeply appreciated!
