Midwest DJ
About this pro
Mine stands out cause i use actual Turntables and not CD players, I-Pods, or mixing counsels that do all the work for you. I also beat match the songs. Meaning that i don't press stop on one song and just press play on the next (dead air)... Beat matching allows you to overlap the next song with the one that is currently playing so they blend together.
When i put on my headphones everything else stops as if it never existed its actually very therapeutic if you ask me.
And I get paid to play music.... It's like a gourmet chef being paid to cook or a driver getting paid to race. They all started out doing it cause they absolutely love it and the reaction others have to what you do so well.
FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?This i have mostly covered in the main description above, but what i have left out is "travel" time. I honestly dont mind driving to your event, but if its hours away we may need to discuss gas options.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?Education wise,...no. There is no education in going to a record store and listening to the new/used music and buying what i like or what i might want to play for a show/event. But i will read up on new pro audio gear that is coming out and go to the music shop and play with them.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?When i was in my very early teens I went to my first concert "Pink Floyd" (Division Bell Tour) and i was in such awe that i knew i wanted to be a musician. Through the years I've been to several hundred concerts & festivals doing everything from going in the mosh pits to sitting in the top balcony and just taking it all in. In my late teens - early 20's i was in a band that incorporated a dj in some of our songs and i instantly was hooked on turning turntables into an instrument.
