The world comes with so much uncertainty that has made many people unwilling to bet on themselves, their talents, or their abilities. This uncertainty had contributed to many people’s stagnancy and lack of significant progress. Christian Younan, also known as DJ Chris Angel, decided very early in his life to live according to his terms without letting anything get in his way.
The former military officer turned music DJ has had numerous twists and turns and made decisions that thrust him on the path he is today. The tenacity instilled in him today became a part of him from a very young age when he started fending for himself at the age of 14. He took his first job as a teenager, watering plants for a coffee shop and juggling two jobs with high school when he was 16. Growing up that way made him grow so quickly that years later, he had already decided what he wanted to do and he had the money to start his chosen journey.
Christian, who describes his upbringing as normal, passed up football practice to go and work for money, and that money was used to purchase equipment that kick-started his career in music. Growing up, he joined the military but later left to pursue his musical career fully. However, he lost himself in the process as anxiety and depression had the better of him, which affected his music.
Choosing not to stay down when beaten or let his weakness become the dominant part of him. Christian got back up, shed all the weight drawing him back, and pursued music with all his might. Over the years, DJ Chris Angel has mastered some tips to keep him at the top of his game and he strongly believes those tips can help anybody succeed at their craft too if they believe in themselves and are hungry to make things happen.
DJ Chris Angel believes in investing in ideas, reading more, and acquiring information from anything and everything, avoiding negative people who do not believe in your dreams, and understanding that every thousand-mile journey starts with a step. Despite all the challenges he has overcome, Christian Younan does not see any loss as a loss but rather as lessons and a new opportunity to do things differently.
Chris gets all his motivation from his fans and audience who push for new materials and tracks from him. According to him, having people like that who support his craft and are eager to see what next he has to offer gives him all the reason to keep working hard in the music industry.
Christian Younan’s goal for the next few years is to achieve success in music and use that success as leverage to empower people who need to be empowered. “There are people who need you, and the great position you’re in is the tool they need to get elevated too. So always look out for those who need empowerment around you and pay your blessings forward,” he said. He also hopes to work with more established people in the industry and project himself onto the big stages.Learn more about DJ Chris Angel on his official Instagram page.
