As glamorous as it seems, being a touring DJ/producer is not easy. The job isn’t meant for everyone, and Dubloadz has decided it isn’t for him anymore. In a statement put out yesterday, the DJ/producer announced that he’s quitting, or at least taking a break, from Dubloadz and the music industry.
“The truth is Dubloadz is like a band-aid that I need to rip off at this point. It’s like a character I don’t want to play anymore or have any belief in,” he wrote. “I never thought I’d reach a point where I truly believed my dream was dead, but I have. Even before 2020, in the depths of the last year which was the worst of my life, I’ve been trying to soul search and find happiness in everything I’ve built. The truth is, I haven’t been happy or felt alive since the beginning of 2019. 7 years of trying to make Dubloadz work has put me through hell I didn’t know was possible.”
He speaks about not being happy since the beginning of 2019, and the struggle of trying to “make Dubloadz work” over the last 7 years.
“I feel physically sick to my stomach as I type this honestly but I can’t keep putting it off. Maybe one day I will find my happiness and something will rise from the ashes of all this. I can only ope, but I can’t promise.”
