Breakdown for TLDW(watch):
1. Be humble professional and easy to work with, always learning MINDSET!
2. Hold back your ego
3. Watch what other Dj’s or artists are doing and add YOUR FLAVOR to it. Do what makes you unique. If you can’t find it watch others until you mold something into your own.
4. Think about your equipment needed. BACKUP for your gear because the club only provides the equipment sometimes those cables go bad and better to rely on yourself. It shows self care for your career. Back up mixes! or a way to connect your phone or your uploaded mixes to the actual equipment itself.
5. Luck = PREPAREDNESS and OPPORTUNITY meet
6. Go to the venues, to network, with no intention of getting anything out of it other than a social media connection. Do this again over some odd weeks. DON’T be pushy and make yourself known with your community or club or the scene.
7. Who’s your audience….. Play to your audience! are they young? are they old ? are they chillen? do they want to go hard? Set time?
8. Plan your set! depending on venue and audience or expected audience.
9. Stay ORGANIZED!! grab a curated playlist… and grab some party stuff
10. Connect with people the right people. DJ’s (the right ones) will hit you up for a cover or cause they know you… create that community for yourself and it will grow because DJ’s who have been in the scene for a while will know a lot of peoples!
11. You will have to step outside of your comfort zone if you want to progress for a career, but if you are doing it for fun you will most likely do it just for fun. You become the business itself rather than just be a part of it. You will need social media and content and a place where they can contact you.
12. You can charge more if you are bringing in your own gear, but the thing you have to keep in mind is the opportunity that that venue or that gig provides. Sometimes we sacrifice pay for opportunity. Weigh your options!
13. If you have a reliable gig use that to up your game or level up! sometimes its not about the money its about your growth musically and artistically! use that!
Amazing stuff guys keep it up!
This podcast is so useless. Let’s be honest. It’s all about networking. I’ll be honest I got my first resident position with literally little to no experience or skills as a DJ. I called a code. Learn on the job. Fast-forward, I have more than 20+ years experience
Dj Puffy! Never thought I’d see him pop up on here.
everybody gay now
