I’ve been a DJ for a number of years, and I’ve seen a lot of DJ’s come and go. In the beginning they thought they knew everything, but towards the end of their career, they learned a few lessons too late.
In this video, I share those lessons to help you avoid their mistakes 🙂

► SCRIPT
So the first lessons DJ’s learn too late is that they think that skills are everything. That if they become the most skilled DJ, they’ll get fame, fortune, and gigs!
But the thing is, that rarely happens.
Learning a specific transition, or scratch or complicated DJ trick or technique will not land you a gig in Tomorrowland. Believe me, I tried.
What will though is the content you produce, be it videos, mixes or even better yet original songs.
Those things yield a better result than knowing the latest and greatest DJ trick.
What will really set you apart is how you balance those skills with song selection, and following that up by making content like a video, mix or song, that markets your skills as a dj, or producer or even both.

2nd lesson DJ’s learn too late.
Gear isn’t everything.
It’s easy to think that buying DJ gear, or courses, or even books about DJ’ing will make you a better DJ. But the truth is they won’t unless you put the work in.
If you’re a DJ enthusiasts that thinks that you must have this controller or this equipment to be a DJ, then you’re probably giving yourself an excuse to not start DJ’ing in the first place, because a person who really wants to be a DJ will always make a way to be a DJ. Be it with their phone, tablet or even laptop.
Saying that you need to buy this or have that, is just an excuse for most people to not get started in whatever they want to do. Because it’s so much easier to blame ones lack of money, than ones work ethic, to get started.
At the end of the day, it’s not what you have that defines your career, or christens you as a DJ or producer. It’s what you do with what you have that does.

3rd lesson DJ’s learn too late, and this lesson is more for the beginner DJ’s out there
Doing free gigs for exposure is not as bad as you think if you’re doing them for the right reasons like for experience.
So What I’m trying to say is that if you’re it for the money. You will not go far. But if you’re doing it for the right reasons like for experience, the love of music & making people happy then you will.
So if you get offered a gig for exposure and if you’re completely new, and if you kinda need that exposure and experience to jump start your career. Think twice about it before you say no.
Yes doing too much free gigs is indeed bad, but being prideful and saying to an opportunity that can help you in the long run, is even worse.
