DJ\u2019ing popular venues on the weekend and LIVE streaming to his fans, it seems like nothing is slowing him down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DJ MPower&nbsp;is living his dream as one of the fresh new faces on the DJ scene. His&nbsp;electrifying house music sets keep the crowds going for hours. He\u2019s played at various venues around the Valley&nbsp;but DJ MPower\u2019s ride to getting where he is today has been anything but fast and easy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Born with Down Syndrome, Papazian has had to work harder than any other DJ who has come before him, to not only overcome a significant learning disability but to learn his craft and do it in a manner that no one listening could even tell the challenges he faces on a daily basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 7th grade Papazian decided he wanted to be a DJ and began taking night classes at Scottsdale Community College, eventually earning a Certificate in Music this Spring. During that time he also studied intensely under mentor DJ Tranzit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>When I first had the chance to work with MPower, I instantly knew that he had what it takes. Every time we got together for lessons he always seemed to surprise me in some way. He&#8217;s got a great future ahead of him in this industry. <\/p><cite>&#8211; DJ Tranzit<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Specializing in House Music and EDM, Papazian DJ\u2019d his junior high school prom and various events through high school, eventually going on to&nbsp;compete in the exclusive Relentless Beats First Encounters DJ Competition at age 20. One of his high-energy mixes recently earned Number 37 on the Mixcloud Global House Music Chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>DJ\u2019ing, It\u2019s my favorite thing&#8230; <\/p><p>I am proof that there are no limits.
