Its funny because some DJs will think that this post contradicts another post I made a few weeks ago called Djing: Its About Your Sound where I told DJs that it is crucial to develop a sound.
A lot of DJs took that post the wrong way. They though I was saying that you had to limit your music to one sub genre to be successful as a DJ. This is not true. Yes, you have to develop your own unique sound. But your sound can consist of as many genres as you like. In fact, listening to and playing different styles of music is the best way to develop your own unique sound.
Furthermore, you will be thrown into lots of different situations as a DJ where you will be required to play different styles of music that what you would like to or what you would normally play.
This is a question that I get asked all the time… “Should I learn to how to dj by taking dj lessons in my city or should I find online video dj lessons?
Aside from that, here is the best advice I can give! You’re going to pay $50 – $100 per hour for a DJ Lesson. Thats a lot of money considering you will need HOURS of dj instruction! Furthermore, DJ Lessons won’t help you choose your gear, set up your gear or teach you how to get gigs.
If you can find some great DJ Lesson videos online then jump all over them. For the price of one DJ Lesson or less, you can get a video that will teach you everything about DJing that you can watch over and over. Stop, rewind, stop rewind. Read the rest of this entry »

This is a question I get a lot from a lot of aspiring DJs that want to learn to DJ. When I sit down and think about the question it makes me laugh because there are so many things that go into succeeding as a DJ. Theres the style of music you play, your motivation for djing, your style, your cd, your marketing and promotions, how to build a following, how much you network, the dj equipment you choose and many other factors.
But if I had to break it down to one secret it would be this:
We all do things for different reasons. You, I and everyone else has different needs and these different needs dictate how we live our life on a day to day basis.
Deep right? Not really.. its simple. Some people need freedom. Others need security. Some people feel the need to be loved stronger than others. I feel the need to help people by giving them dj training.
We all want to learn to DJ or got into DJing to fulfill different needs. I will be the first to admit that I got into DJing in the first place because I was lonely in highschool and wanted to be able to make friends and date girls. I loved the idea of playing in front of a big crowd because I needed the attention back then.
But here is the bottom line… regardless of what need drove you djing (girls, party rockstar life, freedom, money etc) you need to know that you will never be successful as a DJ unless you truly LOVE this music. It always comes back to loving the music.
