In episode 21, I go over the ten steps needed to get started on your journey as a DJ. This one is great for beginners, those who have been out of the game for a while, or just those DJs who like to go back and pick up anything they may have missed along the way.
This episode is all about:
- Learning what DJs do, and why different types exist.
- Helping you find your initial focus.
- How to start learning the basic skills (and what they are).
- Building your initial brand and following.
- Pursuing your first DJ gigs.
