Pastor’s Son by Day, Club DJ by Night | Caught Between Culture & Calling

Описание: What happens when the only son of a psychiatric doctor and evangelical pastor chooses the nightclub DJ booth over a career in medicine or the pulpit?
In this powerful episode of the Becoming A CEO Podcast, I sit down with Adeniyi (DJ Adeboii) — an Australian-born Nigerian DJ pioneering Afrobeats in Perth, Australia — to unpack identity, culture, parental expectations, and purpose.

As a first-generation migrant child, Adeniyi’s journey reflects the silent tension many young Africans in the diaspora experience:
👉 Choosing passion over profession
👉 Navigating strict parental expectations
👉 Falling in love across cultures
👉 Building a creative career in a traditional family

His father isn’t fully convinced about his career choice but beyond the surface is a deeper story about honour, faith, family, and freedom.

This conversation is for:
• First-generation migrant kids
• African diaspora navigating identity
• Parents struggling to understand their children’s choices
• Creatives choosing passion over prestige
• Anyone balancing culture, faith, and ambition

What would it take for fathers and sons — mothers and daughters — to have an honest fireside chat?
What if honour didn’t always mean obedience… but understanding?
This is more than a DJ story.

It’s a conversation about legacy, love, and becoming your own man.

Can you disagree with your parents without dishonouring them?
