I started learning how to DJ last year and now I'm gonna have my first gig at a house party on new year for like 10-15 people and I'm buzzing for it! Thank you so much for the advices, in 1 year time I'll come back to comment again and say where I'm at i my DJ career, really looking forward to what I'm gonna write

@Tomino1302 Год назад

I’m happy for you, as much as I’d be for myself if that were to happen :(. I’m starting something new, I’ve recently started Dj too, though I’m still confused and not 100% sure if that’s what fits me… I just kind of keep working on that and sometimes even watching comments like yours, to cheer myself up a bit. I can’t see my future but I wish me the best, that’s what I’m saying when I pray 🙄. Anyways wishing the best to you like I do for myself.

At age of 34 i bought a cheap controller and started to practice everyday. now im looking forward to buy my Rane 4 and have my first gig at the bar of my brother. dont want to make big money. just want to have some people dancing to my music. thats all i want. i regret not starting earlier.

@djjameshayes9766 9 месяцев назад

One thing worth mentioning & any DJ with no ego will tell u.. Even on your best night u can get a bad crowd. I’m gigging 10 years & it happens, new DJs go out there be polite & remember there may be a**holes so just smile & put your head down & mix 🤙🏼

@MM-lo8dn 8 месяцев назад

Yup, been at it since 07 and bad nights are just part of the game. Some crowds wont even get down to the hits 😂

Wow, Cee B, You are ( believe me ) the first DJ on RU-vid who is Honest and realistic. And a better speech for the ones who want to become a DJ doesn"t exist. You are giving a realistic picture of the way it works in the music business. The music industrie is the hardest business in the world. Keep on the good work !

@TeraGreene1 11 месяцев назад

I’ve been a working dj since I started in 2003… and my first gigs were paid at Groove Fitness in Hollywood, CA and a gig that turned out to be a 4-year Women’s Music festival. I was the sole dj for that and we collectively won an award for the fest. Almost 21 years into my career, I actually don’t use much social media and yes, I get a ton of bookings by word of mouth. Sure, I have a radio show and SoundCloud and such, but I got 2 inquiries today for gigs, as well as a contract to sign tomorrow and 2 gigs this Friday and Saturday. I dj for private events and public offerings, and even teach (I am currently teaching a 9 year old how to dj). I’m a DJ’s DJ. I love supporting djs and was a dancer before I started djing. I would get invited to all the parties because I would start the dance floors haha Then I went to music school and shifted from singer songwriter to dj and now I’m bringing back my singer style into my production and djing. It’s only been a 20 year hiatus from singing lol. But becoming a mom 5.5 years ago got me back singing again, naturally, then I picked up an MPC in 2019 and I am thinking the next 20 years of my career will be quite a time of exponential growth because of all the wisdom and dedication (and giving back) I’ve done. Enjoyed your video. I watched it because I’m taking a beginners mind again as I near year 21 so that I can approach my craft with even more freshness to continually stay a working, professional dj… even in the pandemic , I taught a middle school class of 20 how to dj, in person and virtually. If you’re just starting out, remember to stay adaptable and flexible , and yes, be polite. Stand out and get repeat bookings from vendors and businesses and nonprofits and private folks by sending a thank you email/text after every gig. 😊

@23gjesse 7 месяцев назад

As someone who’s trying to go from the private gig sector to the club\bar scene it’s hard to make that transition, unfortunately the Dj scene is over saturated and there’s all ways someone willing to do it for cheaper from what I learned .I appreciate this video so much because it gives you the basics. Having skill takes time . Pro tip ! Organize those crates !!

@SheilaSoundLLC 7 месяцев назад

figure out a way to get involved with the promoters, help out and create relationships! More importantly show up even when you're not booked! More important to show the support even when not working

@gregtufaro8166 6 месяцев назад

There is no cheaper than free. If you can get your foot in door by not charging, the paid gigs will follow, if you’re good

Sage advice here. I started DJing frat parties and small bars, moved to a small club residency every Thursday and Friday, and eventually got the option to open for a festival. Also, consider taking FREE gigs on off nights like “Turntable Tuesdays” or EDM Wednesdays. These experiences will build your community and confidence.

@RuukaChan Год назад

Really insightful guide, some points were underrated and extremely important reminders, like having backup if something goes south with your DJ gear (gave me the idea to bring a backup mixer and extra cables - better prepared than not enough)! It's important to have the right intentions on becoming a DJ- in order to be successful in anything you do your heart, mind and soul needs to be in the right places 💜I started 7 months ago and I absolutely love it. I feel the most alive when I spin and share my love for my music. Bringing all your tips with me to my 4th gig this week - thank you DJ Cee, absolutely love your content.

@learnshareevolve1842 Год назад

GREAT & very informative video! I am doing this in 'reverse'. I had run sound boards in the past for a few workshops, and I offered to DJ/emcee my niece's (low budget/low pressure) wedding on a whim (for free) I was able to use the venue's house system. Then, another family member asked me to DJ a high school dance. Lot's of RU-vid 'research' and learning went into each of these. I spent the entire payment ($440) from the HS dance on renting equipt. (2x12", mixer, subwoofer, lights), but it was a great experience (200 kids @ the dance), and I got good reviews/feedback. I used my iphone w TIDAL (for music) & DJ PRO AI as my controller, w a Premium subscription to Spotify for music finding. I bought an Amazon Fire tablet for this gig, but hated it & returned it after. I had a 50w PA speaker at home to practice with. Doing lot's of 'prep' before the HS dance was key. I visited the venue, met w HS class reps (who hired me) & their adult rep. Assessed outlets, sound-space, etc. Asked about bringing in equipt, but didn't get that info. until I showed up & started unloading. I called guitar Center (for rental) at least a dozen times to ask questions. It was pretty stressful setting up equipt that I wasn't familiar with, but I had learned just enough to make it all work.
