Episode Summary:

In this episode of Enterprise Unleashed: Business Law and Innovation, host Richard Corey welcomes Miami’s own Casey Chops—DJ, producer, podcast host, and cultural influencer. With over two decades in the music industry, including his early years at Power 96 under the mentorship of DJ Laz, Casey has built a career that transcends radio and live performances.

Casey shares how he transformed his DJ name into a multi-platform brand, blending radio, live shows, podcasting, and original music production. He explains the importance of protecting a brand when aligning with partnerships, the challenges of staying relevant in a shifting industry, and how learning Spanish and embracing Latin culture became a key turning point in his career.

The conversation dives into Casey’s evolution from hip-hop roots into Latin and house music, the role of Miami’s diverse culture in shaping his sound, and how competitiveness drives him to perform over 20 gigs a month. Casey also opens up about breaking major records in Miami, why radio playlists have changed dramatically due to data and ratings, and what the future looks like for music entrepreneurs.
