To my upcoming Dj’s. I had doubts. Am I too late, is this the right direction for a career. I had people look at me differently cause I left my amazing corporate job and bartending to pursue a passion that I wanted to make lucrative. And there were gigs that made me feel like it was the wrong direction. But I Kept going, change the path of my career many times along the way and didn’t give up. I would ask myself if I made the right choice a lot of times. Today I know I did. I’m not anywhere close to the goal but I know I’m on my way and I’m waking up doing what I love everyday. I worked on little to no sleep this past weekend from “work” and it felt great.
So don’t give up or listen to people who say s**t about something you love and wake up thinking about all the time. Yeah the market is saturated with everyone wanting to become a Dj. So what, Be different , don’t rely on dj pools for your music, make edits , or find the SoundCloud tracks that have less than 5k plays. Work with stems. Use the sync button if you have to . Play the music you love that your “homies” would say is “girly music”. Ima tell you right now, I did not make it this far playing a misogynistic based playlist. But if thats all you listen to and want to play, Listen to your heart, and just find the crowd who enjoys what your heart is telling you.
Again, I’m no where close to where I want to be, and not every show looks like this yet. But, they are happening more and more often so I know I’m going in the right direction.
