Ever wondered how someone can reinvent themselves multiple times and still come out stronger? In this episode of The Loft, Chris Quigley, also known as DJ Quigs, shares his incredible journey of becoming an official Q102 DJ, starting fresh in a new city, and overcoming the heartbreaking loss of his mother. Chris's story is not just about his career but also about resilience and the power of community.
Growing up in South Philadelphia, Chris started DJing at the age of 16 and quickly fell in love with it. His journey took him from private parties to local bars, eventually landing him a spot on the Q102 team. But it wasn't always smooth sailing. Moving to Virginia meant starting from scratch, both professionally and personally. He even worked at a grocery store while pursuing a degree in business management with a focus on cybersecurity.
Despite these challenges, Chris's passion for DJing never waned. One of the most touching parts of the episode is when Chris talks about losing his mother at 17. She was the glue that held his family together, and her passing was a turning point in his life. Yet, Chris found a way to channel his grief into his work, becoming even more dedicated to his craft. The episode also delves into the importance of having a supportive community.
From his early days in South Philly to his current role at Q102, Chris has always had friends and family who believed in him. This support system played a crucial role in his ability to restart his life multiple times. If you're looking for a story of resilience, community, and the love of music, this episode is a must-listen. You'll walk away inspired by Chris's journey and maybe even reflect on your own path.
So why not take a break and tune in? You might just find the motivation you need to tackle your own challenges.
