Meet Johnny Forte | Johnny Forte of Fortecloud

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

Hi Johnny, we’d love for you to start things off by telling us something about your industry that we and others not in the industry might be unaware of?
One thing about the industry that outsiders are not aware of is, I make this Ish look easy! lol DJing is more than just playin music Tbh. its about Consistency & connections to keep it simple. thats all you need.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
What sets me apart is that i was never apart of anything truly. Tbh i didnt even think i’ve be alive this long. Praise god for that. look man I believe in everything i do, even if i’ve just been winging it. honestly i feel like we’re all winging it even if you do have a plan. but thats life! I know what i want to do and want to happen even if i dont know the path, i just know somehow i make it & i just go with the flow. And now I am grateful to be apart of things & to be involved. I’m proud I get to live freely and creative & Spin music! I Got to where i’m at because there has to be a god or a higher power, bc im supposed be dead either by life or suicide but we still here,and how are we still here? Consistency!!!! nothing has been easy since i was born. But my rebel behavior and outkast spirit has help me push along even when i was alone. so many gems i can drop but the most important one is you gotta find a reason to live!!!!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?

The Gallo you never know what you might find in there lol..im working on my diet so we would defitnly hit a vegan cafe or two. then go to austin to run up a hill

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
