In this Virtual Sessions episode, Felix Sama joins host Darran Bruce from Miami to share his journey from radio personality to full-time producer and entrepreneur. Beginning with early experiments mixing on turntables and tape decks, Felix recalls the thrill of hearing DJs on Miami’s Super Q and creating his first hot mix that landed him a spot at Hot 105. His passion quickly grew into a full-time career in radio, production, and eventually television.

He reflects on milestones like working at Telemundo’s Mundos channel, where he introduced reggaeton stars like Daddy Yankee and Nicky Jam to broader audiences, and creating video mixes before the format was widely recognized. These experiences not only built his reputation but also expanded Latin music’s global reach. Felix highlights how media visibility helped transition him from local recognition to international stages.

The conversation explores his entrepreneurial ventures, including launching a DJ entertainment company, starting Rhythm City DJ School in South Florida, and leading USA Breaking, a nonprofit promoting breakdancing competitions nationwide. For Felix, creating platforms for DJs and dancers has been just as rewarding as performing.

He also introduces his upcoming project, Rockstar Mindset, designed to help artists and professionals tap into their inner confidence through coaching, interviews, and think tanks. Felix emphasizes originality and persistence as keys for young DJs, urging them to produce their own music, find their niche, and bring something new to the table.

Beyond music, Felix shares personal passions like racquetball, scuba diving, and family life, balancing ambition with health and discipline. His philosophy on success centers on creating value for others, producing music that inspires, and collaborating with like-minded artists to leave a lasting legacy.
