This episode was with my friend Guillermo Durán. He goes by Durhem in the music world and has a great story of how he became a DJ. Balancing Civil Engineering work and Music Production is not easy but with dedication and consistency, Guillermo has been able to keep making music and performing at clubs/bars while excelling as a student. You will see in this episode that Guillermo DJ's for the right reasons and not the fame and money. I hope you enjoy!   Check out Durhem's music on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/durhem   Check out his radio show Selective Groove on KANM's website Fridays at 6pm: https://kanm.tamu.edu/#/
