Founder Spotlight: Charles "DJ Chase" Taylor Is Building a New Era of Ownership Through Music, Publishing, and Intellectual Property

Charlotte, NC — For many entrepreneurs, success begins with identifying a problem and creating a solution. For Charles "DJ Chase" Taylor, that mission began with a lifelong connection to music, creativity, and understanding the business behind the art.

As the founder and CEO of DJ Chase Publishing LLC, DJ Chase is building a platform centered around entrepreneurship, intellectual property, content monetization, and ownership. Through music, books, podcasts, radio, video, and interactive media, his mission is to educate creators and help them understand the value of what they create.

“I realized I can’t DJ until I’m 70 — or at least I didn’t want to be forced to,” said DJ Chase. “I figured out how to make money passively and here I am today.”

That mindset transformed a passion for music into a larger business vision.

A Foundation Built Through Music

DJ Chase’s connection to the entertainment industry started early. Born in the Bronx and raised in Harlem, New York, creativity was always part of his environment.

His father was a DJ who taught him the importance of sound, performance, and connecting with audiences. His mother’s career at ASCAP introduced him to the world of music publishing and intellectual property from an early age.

At just 12 years old, DJ Chase received his first set of turntables — beginning a journey that would eventually expand beyond performing into entrepreneurship.

Today, he combines his experience as a DJ with his understanding of publishing, branding, and media to create opportunities that extend beyond traditional entertainment.

Creating More Ownership in the Creator Economy

One of DJ Chase’s biggest goals is addressing a challenge he sees throughout the entertainment industry: a lack of education around ownership.

“There is so much misinformation on the internet and everyone wants to get rich quick,” he said. “My job in the marketplace is to create more ownership in the thought and intellectual property business.”

Through DJ Chase Publishing LLC and the DJ Chase Radio streaming service app, he is developing platforms focused on exclusive content, creator opportunities, and building stronger connections between audiences and original programming.

His vision extends beyond creating content — it focuses on helping creators understand how to protect, monetize, and build long-term value from their ideas.

A Boutique Approach to Building Brands

What separates DJ Chase from many entrepreneurs is his hands-on approach.

“My journey is what makes me different. My sound is what makes me different. My approach is what makes me different,” he said.

Operating as a boutique company allows DJ Chase to remain deeply involved in his projects, make strategic adjustments, and maintain quality rather than focusing on mass production.

His services include music production, DJ events, podcast and radio programming, brand introductions, and publishing.

The Accomplishments That Matter Most

While DJ Chase has received numerous awards and industry recognition — including Spotify awards, digital radio tracker plaques, and the 2022 Blazin Hip Hop DJ of the Year Award — some achievements hold deeper meaning.

One of his proudest moments was building his own office, a milestone that represented years of sacrifice, determination, and belief in his vision.

Another unforgettable achievement was receiving his first music streaming plaque while his mother was able to witness the accomplishment.

For DJ Chase, success is about more than recognition — it is about building something that lasts.

Building a Legacy Beyond Entertainment

Looking toward the future, DJ Chase’s goal is continued growth, financial independence, and expanding his company’s reach — including the possibility of launching a print magazine.

But his greatest motivation is legacy.

“My young brother who is autistic and my niece motivate me every day,” he said. “Leaving a legacy behind.”

Having experienced loss within the entertainment community, DJ Chase is focused on creating a business foundation that can support future generations.

Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs

For those starting their own journey, DJ Chase encourages patience, preparation, and resilience.

“Understand what you’re getting yourself into. Nothing has to be perfect. Don’t compare yourself to anyone. Don’t be afraid to fail,” he said.

His philosophy is centered around understanding that relationships, opportunities, and experience are all valuable parts of building a successful career.

Defining Success

To DJ Chase, success is not simply financial.

“Success means doing what you love for free. Having no social, emotional, karmic, or financial debt,” he said.

Through DJ Chase Publishing LLC, his radio platform, and his continued work in entertainment, he is creating a blueprint focused on ownership, education, and entrepreneurship.

His legacy goal is simple: to inspire young people to recognize that greatness comes from creativity, discipline, and building something meaningful — not from following paths that limit their potential.
