CARLOS
IN HOUSE DJ
DJ Carlos never set out to become a DJ. During the the pandemic, he was looking for something new to do—and decided to give DJing a try. His first gig was at a family cookout, and when someone (not even family!) asked him to DJ their event, he said yes—and just like that, it began. He came across a video of LaShae Iyonna teaching a line dance class on Instagram. He asked if she wanted a DJ—and she did. That moment led to countless classes and events, and eventually, Carlos became part of the Studio Heir family.
