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

Hi Darius, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Well, my thoughts were more on the “dang if I send another videographer a deposit and don’t get the shoot date I’ll lose my mind!” With a handful of influencers in my life, they told me “ you can shoot pictures, bro shoot your own video’s!” 50 shots later, I’m like this is fun! After one person is inquired about my services that I didn’t have at moment. They referred me, then they referred me, and well you see where I’m going with this lol

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
The vibes is what set me apart from others. Of course maintaining professionalism but it’s all about keeping your workplace peaceful, productive, and professional. How I got here sounds really cliche but staying in my lane. Staying my own lane opened doors that I would never have imagined was even possible. For example, shout out to my boy James Capp! James plugged me in with the tour manager for Bubba Sparxxx and to make a long story short. Now Bubba and I are locked in for some upcoming projects.
There’s never an easy process for starting a business. Shoot I’m still learning something new everyday! Lesson’s I’ve learned along the way, don’t let money be the reason you run business or passion. My business is my passion, majority of jobs don’t even feel like your typical job. Instead focus on building a relationship with the client. That action there has opened up so many doors!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Man that’s hard! Honestly, I’m a straight up home body now. Columbus isn’t like how it use to be. So if any of my folks come down to Columbus, my go to spot is my house! You can get good food, good drinks, hangout, smoke something, straight up vibes! Lol

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My list of influences and motivator’s is pretty lengthy! I’ll start off with my gorgeous wife. She supports me like no other! From my music, to the film work, and the side hustles. Another big one to me is my big bro Taeshon aka 8shotit. He’s a music artist, music engineer, and a cinematographer coming out of Junction City, Kansas. Practically taught me, still teaching me things today! Fast forward to now being under the wing of some legends and bomb mentors and supporters! Chris Kimble, Bobby Sampson, Allen Burns, Akronym Jim, GapEe, Marco Richh, CO Snapped, Chasity or CTE Media…. Man there’s soo many!
