Ask around about DJ LA and you’ll hear about the talent — the ear, the timing, the way he reads a room. But if you ask him what’s actually opened doors, he won’t point to any of that. He points to something quieter. Something a lot of artists overlook.
In this episode of WhatItIzWhatItBeezLike?! with King Cyz, DJ LA gets honest fast. Ninety seconds doesn’t leave much room to posture, and he doesn’t try. Front row or back row? Front row, every time — he wants to be turned up with the worship team and locked in on the Word. Early bird or night owl? Both, if we’re being real. And if he weren’t in music at all? He’d be in education, pouring into people either way.
That last answer says more than it seems to. Because the thread running through everything DJ LA shares is a posture of service — a heart that shows up to give before it shows up to get. It’s not a strategy. It’s who he is. And in a culture where so much energy goes into being seen, that kind of humility has a way of putting a person in rooms their résumé never could.
But here’s what makes this segment land: DJ LA isn’t presenting a finished man. He’s honest about the season God has him in right now — and it’s a season of rest. He talks about slowing down, learning when to say yes, and just as importantly, learning when to say no. The same servant’s heart that keeps him pouring out is being taught to receive.
The moment that stops you is his prayer life. DJ LA describes getting to a point where he stops talking altogether — where he quiets down long enough to actually fellowship with the Lord and hear what God has to say. For someone whose gift is filling space with sound, choosing silence is its own kind of surrender.
Somewhere in there, he mentions he plays guitar. Most people don’t know that. And honestly, it fits — another gift he never had to announce.
That’s the DJ LA you meet in these ninety seconds. Skilled, yes. But carried by something deeper than skill. A servant’s heart that keeps opening doors, and a spirit still humble enough to sit down, get quiet, and listen.
