I'm composing. It's been a hot minute and I've mostly defaulted to mixing tracks, but with AI and careful attention to detail, I'm making some quality stuff! Need some ideas, though: what genres? Lol

There are several types of DJ, so let's break them down:

Radio
Venue/Wedding
Artist

Radio DJs are, well, on the radio. They usually organize playlists and help the station find advertisers. Sometimes they might be conversational or mix their tracks.

Venue/Wedding DJs are hired to provide services at certain locations at certain times. Generally adaptable to consumer needs by providing singular or repeated services such as crowd entertainment, karaoke in bars, PA and background music for weddings...

Artists are performance based DJs who compose their own tracks and playlists, often using "turntables" for visual appeal and musical precision. Hired as an act (or part of an act) to draw in attendees.

This post looks like it's directed towards Artist DJs.

When Booking a Dj 🚨

1. Make sure your sound connection is well connected, CDJs are on
point. Remember, a DJ needs to enjoy the set before the crowd does.

2. Not all DJs are famous, and that doesn't mean they aint good in what they do. Give the "unpopular DJs" some platform to prove
themselves, a chance that is.

3. Don't ask what kinda music they play. Since you're the one booking
them, you should be following their timelines and downloading their
mixtapes. Now, that's real business righ there.

4. Real DJs take their jobs very seriously, so never make fun or jokes
when booking them. Business convo, that's all.

5. Don't ask "Are you better than this DJ or that DJ". Comparism for
what? It aint a competition right? It's business and all DJs are unique
in their own way.

6. If you have a problem with their ratings, book someone whom you
comfy with and who's not gonna disappoint.

7. Don't ask if he/she can pull out a larger crowd, never ask that.
That's being disrespectful. A DJ got none to do with pulling larger
crowd, your marketing strategy does.

8. Add yours 🙏🏽
