Daniel Joseph Hernandez is a San Diego-born DJ, who has been spinning records for 14 years. His career started to take off after he posted a viral Tiktok, inviting people to come hang out at Golden Hill Park, where he would put on sets of lo-fi music for free.<\/p>\n
Because the event drew hundreds of people, the park rangers shut the DJ down. Thankfully, media attention drew a sponsor, Probity Productions, to help sponsor the event by covering the permitting and support costs associated with hosting the set.<\/p>\n
Thanks to the sponsor\u2019s hard work, Hernandez is back up and running again, hosting his first set since the permitting fiasco on Friday, Sept. 12.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wanted to make sure I did it right, And the news helped me show the community that I was trying to do it for them, and not just for myself,\u201d Hernandez said.<\/p>\n
The attention has also drawn publicity to him, allowing him more opportunities. He will be playing a set for June Shine, a hard kombucha brand, in a week\u2019s time. He says it\u2019s thanks to his wife and high school sweetheart that he didn\u2019t give up sooner.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere have been so many times where I just wanted to give up because it\u2019s tiring, it\u2019s hard,\u201d Hernandez said. \u201cAnd if it wasn\u2019t for my wife, telling me you can do this, I really don\u2019t think I would have continued.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Daniel Joseph Hernandez is a San Diego-born DJ, who has been spinning records for 14 years.
