Publisher's Synopsis
In the pulsating world of music, where beats and hearts collide, DJ Captain has emerged as a beacon of inspiration. Dreams Don't Have Expiration Dates is not just the memoir of a celebrated DJ who has set stages alight across the globe; it is a testament to the indomitable spirit of a man who refused to be defined by his circumstances.
Born into a life marred by abandonment and adversity, DJ Captain's early years were filled with challenges. Raised by his guardian, Lucius Hunter, he learned the harsh cadences of loss and betrayal. His childhood was a mixtape of bitter tracks: from a mother he rarely saw, to witnessing the actions of his grandfather, a stern disciplinarian. The same man provided for eight children and taught them by example, the benefits of hard work. Yet, the streets whispered dangerous melodies, promising easy escapes that carried lethal consequences. DJ Captain tuned out these siren calls, seeking instead the rhythms that spoke to his soul.
He says, "My dad allowed me to have a party in my backyard with one turntable and a few records. Next, I hosted house parties. My aunt, Florence Vesey, my uncle, James, and my aunt, Mary Pugh, gave me the opportunity to throw basement parties at their homes, and DJ Captain was born. When I went to the military, I took DJing seriously, and invested in equipment."
DJing soon evolved into a calling that reverberated far beyond the barracks. From spinning records at parties to captivating audiences on the radio waves, his journey into the heart of the music scene was unstoppable.
Dreams Don't Have Expiration Dates charts DJ Captain's rise to the heights of the music industry. Working with world-renowned celebrities and igniting dance floors around the globe, his story is a melody of triumph over adversity. He spun his darkest moments into a legacy of light, proving that the music never stops. This book is an anthem for the dreamers, the brave, and anyone who dares to believe that dreams, indeed, don't have expiration dates.
