HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WDM) – Marcus Carr, better known as DJ Kujo, has DJed nationally from Amazon Inc. to the Hard Rock Cafe in Las Vegas and last month at the Essence Festival in New Orleans.
A disc jockey, graphic designer and owner of Studio54, Carr is also a Hattiesburg native. He has even worked with celebrities like comedian Kevin Hart.
“I’ve met a lot of great people and I’ve developed great friendships with my clients because they’re friends I can talk to and trust,” he said.
Like many business owners, Carr understands the need to adapt.
“When the epidemic first started, at that point, he had been a DJ for ten years,” Carr said. I had a gig at every event, literally for ten years, every weekend or week, non-stop. When the epidemic happened, all that stopped and I was worried.
After the pandemic, Carr said he could once again partner with other businesses and invest in young people.
“Throughout the year, we try to cooperate,” Carr said. “We have a father-daughter dance in November. In the future, I want to start teaching young DJs, people who want to become DJs, the ropes.
His advice to black businesses and future business owners is, “Scared or ready, put your product out there. Someone will support you.
