From Bedroom Mixes to Center Stage: How CB5 Became the DJ Behind the Vibes
Every great artist has that one defining moment, the spark that lights the fire. For CB5, it began with a $0.99 DJ app, an iPad borrowed from his mom, and a relentless hunger to learn the language of sound. Today, the Culver City native is more than just a DJ, he’s the heartbeat behind the vibe, spinning at packed events, producing trending beats, and serving as the official DJ for rising NY artist Deezy
But let’s rewind.
Before the decks, before the crowds, CB5 was just a kid curating playlists with surgical precision. Music wasn’t just background noise, it was a personal obsession. A close friend recognized that energy and urged him to try DJing. That push, plus a nudge from his overseas cousin who DJ’d professionally, led to hours spent mixing tracks in his room. His first “gig”? A free set at the grand opening of the store where his mom worked. It wasn’t glamorous, but it was real, and it gave him the confidence to keep going.
Then came the party that changed everything. Invited to DJ a birthday for a friend, none other than NY’s own Deezy, CB5 brought the energy, and the crowd responded. What started as a favor turned into a creative partnership, and now, CB5 is Deezy’s go-to DJ for every show, every city, every moment.
With each performance, CB5 sharpens his sound and stretches his influence. After a bold decision to leave behind a computer science degree at Cal Lutheran University, he dove into production, turning raw inspiration into fully formed beats. One of his early projects? An album that trended in Japan. A flex? Absolutely. But it’s also a testament to the global reach of his sound.
CB5’s journey isn’t just about music, it’s about movement. About trusting your gut when everything else says “play it safe.” He’s building a brand that lives in the clubs, breathes through the speakers, and speaks directly to the dreamers. And with his next release, “Vibes Outside,” he’s ready to elevate the experience even further
Now at 26, CB5 is chasing more than just applause—he’s chasing impact. From club residencies to corporate gigs to a vision of one day spinning at Coachella, he’s all in. His mantra? Simple:
“If you’re scared to chase a certain dream, that means it’s the right thing to do. Go all in.
CB5 stands as proof that when passion meets persistence, the world can’t help but listen. And for those just tuning in? The best is yet to come.
