We had the good fortune of connecting with Robert Rangel and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Robert, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The biggest factor behind my success is taking care of my over all wellbeing first. Mentally, physically, spiritually, & emotionally.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?

Los Angeles native, DJ INFERNO (Robert Rangel) has been immersed in the art of DJing since he was a kid. Growing up, his father was a DJ and he became intrigued by music and the good feelings it brought to people. He spent his teenage years perfecting his craft and becoming a resident DJ for the Hollywood nightlife.
For over a decade he showcased his creative mixing style, weekly at LA’s top radio station, INFERNO is most proud of and excited to be working with some of the most iconic artists and being a part of their journey and story.

His work, influence, and reputation have expanded beyond LA’s airwaves and nightclubs. He’s toured with and DJ’d for the likes of Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, YG, and Ty Dolla $ign. He has been recognized by record labels, receiving multi-platinum plaques from recording artists like DJ Khaled, Cardi B, Lil Baby, YG, G-Eazy, and Tyga.

INFERNO is not content with staying within the bounds of a traditional DJ. He is expanding his vision and brand across several media platforms, audiences, and partnerships by collaborating with the fashion, television, and film industries. His versatility is shown recently playing for the iconic artist Rihanna, DJing at her red-carpet events, on-set productions, and for her brands such as SavageXFenty, Fenty Beauty, and Fenty Skin.

DJ INFERNO is where he is today by building relationships, networking, working on his craft, and being in tune with the culture. He had to persist even if that meant nonstop work with long nights and early mornings. While trying to make a name for himself many people in his life did not support his dream. He came to a realization that nobody was going to root for him and that he had to figure it out for himself. He had to keep that determination and willingness to wake up the next morning and stay consistent. He had to remind himself that he was great and deserved greatness repeatedly. He had to be his biggest supporter.

A quote that DJ INFERNO lives by, “Success is never owned, it is rented, and rent is due every day”.

One of the biggest lessons that INFERNO has learned was to not say yes to everything. During his journey, he was offered many opportunities but he had to choose what was best for his brand. He had to be meticulous with which opportunities he decided to take on because it could alter his career path.

DJ INFERNO believes there’s always room to grow and for improvement. One should not be content with where they are at because there is always a higher goal that can be reached. Keeping that persistence and using different media platforms to reach those goals can help someone create to their highest ability.
