How To Be A DJ

By Karina Frost


If playing tunes in front of a large crowd and making them dance to the beat that you have made is your passion in life, then this is certainly the profession that you should be in. However, you have to be ready to do everything you can make it out there. The competition is tough so be properly guided in the days to come.

The first thing that you have to do is start with the basics. You would never become a great Charleston DJ if you would not accept the fact that you still have a lot of things to learn. So, make use of all the materials that you would be able to find for you to continuously improve yourself.

Second, it is now the time for you pick a software that will serve as your backbone in the future. If you are not the tech savvy type of person, then heed the advice of your friends. However, see to it that you are still the one who will make the final decision. This is your game and not theirs. Always remember that.

Third, skim down on your equipment first. Keep in mind that you are not yet into the whole thing. So, you really have to take baby steps here. However, never reach the point where in you would already compromise the quality of the machine just for you to be considered as a jockey by a lot of people.

You need to think of the future even at this early stage. Thus, come up with a neat customer database. You may not need it in the exact moment but then, you have to be prepared for the battle all the time. That is one of the basic rules that you have to follow in the new chapter of your life. Nothing more and nothing less.

You should take mixing lessons. If that skill already runs in your family, then you will just have to ask for their help and you will receive it. Be reminded that these people are of your own blood. Thus, they have no reason to turn their back on you. As long as you have made your inquiry in a nice way, then there should be no problem.

If you are not yet familiar with BPMs, then conduct an extensive research on them. Allow them to be part of your life from this point onwards. Study about them when you have your breaks from the full time job that you truly resent.

You need to be a master in the art of letting the ends meet the beginnings. Actually, at the end of the day, it all comes down to your artistic talent. Thus, hone your skills to the best of your abilities. You may listen to the criticism of other people but make sure that they are constructive and that they will not bring you down.

Overall, simply have the highest level of determination in your training stage. Never let small failures tear you apart. Use them as a solid source of inspiration instead and you will be fine.
