Cat Hooper {Collaborating, Becoming CEO and Figuring It Out}

In conversation with DJ and CEO of Staar Player Cat Hooper

This episode is with Cat Hooper, a powerhouse whose journey spans the dance music underground and the world of business. Cat first made her name as a DJ and producer, with a career that included a residency at Pacha London, sold-out parties at Electrowerkz, and a deep connection to the UK club scene.

While at the same time she was building a record of success in real estate, managing high-level mergers and scaling businesses. Over time she brought her worlds’ together as General Manager of Lady of the House, and into today where she’s the CEO of Staar Player, a high end music production company, founded by Tom Staar and Mark Maitland, focused on collaboration and based in Ibiza.

Cat is someone who embodies focus and resilience, with a love of music and commitment to keep it moving — I’m delighted to share this conversation, which explores career evolution, blending creativity with business, and building a long-term path that’s both values-driven and impactful. Hope you enjoy!
