A Day in My Life: School, Studio, and Sunset Sets

Hey fam,

Ethan here—your favorite 12-year-old DJ repping Cape Town and Dubai. Ever wondered what a day in my life looks like? It’s a mix of school books, sound waves, and sunset vibes. Let’s go!

Morning: School Mode Activated

My day kicks off early. I’m up by 6:30 AM, grabbing breakfast and checking my schedule. School is full-on—maths, science, and a bit of Arabic (still working on that!). I keep my headphones close, though. Music is always in my head, even when I’m solving equations.

Favorite subject: Science (because sound is physics!)
Secret weapon: Lo-fi beats during homework breaks
Mindset: Learn hard, play harder

Afternoon: Studio Sessions

Once school’s out, it’s studio time. I head to my setup—laptop, controller, mic, and a wall of sound. This is where the magic happens.

Current project: Remixing a classic house track with a twist
Workflow: 30 mins of beat-making, 10 mins of dance breaks
Collabs: Sometimes I jam with other young artists online

I keep it fun but focused. Every track I make is a step closer to my dream setlist.

Evening: Sunset Sets & Chill

If I’m not gigging, I’m practicing. Sunset is my favorite time to mix—golden light, chilled energy, and the perfect mood for deep house.

Setlist: Afro-house, melodic EDM, and a few surprises
Favorite spot: Rooftop in Dubai with skyline views
Bonus: I film short clips for Insta and TikTok—gotta keep the vibe alive!

After that, its dinner, a bit of gaming, and sleep. Gotta recharge for the next beat drop.

Final Thoughts

Being a young DJ means balancing school, creativity, and big dreams. It’s not always easy, but it’s always worth it. If you’re a young artist reading this—keep going. Your sound matters.
