In this Hebrew interview hosted by Nir Zavaro, DJ Ran Ziv (34) shares his journey from a teenage DJ at bar mitzvahs to an internationally‑booked performer who has played weddings and parties across Italy, Brazil, France, Thailand, New York and more. He explains the structure of his company Foxy Music – a collective of seven DJs that provides wedding services, a DJ house, and support for artists – and discusses how he balances a demanding schedule (up to 200 events a year) with his marriage and limited sleep (5‑6 hours). Ran recounts a pivotal moment opening for Israeli music star Ofer Nissim, describing the emotional impact of playing to thousands. He reflects on his early persistence, including military service, a brief law study, and a copyright course, and how those experiences shape his business mindset. Ran talks about teaching DJs, the importance of branding, community support, and the financial realities of producing original tracks (studio, mixing, graphic costs). He also touches on handling audience messages, LGBTQ community events, and navigating contracts for international residencies, such as a residency in France arranged through Ofer Nissim. Throughout, he emphasizes a personal philosophy of following passion without fear, while acknowledging the ups and downs of an entrepreneurial DJ career. The later part of the conversation delves into strategic niche selection, the necessity of focus, personal resilience, realistic advice for aspiring DJs, and the role of mentorship and hiring assistants.
