I've been DJing parties since my sophomore year of college (2 years now, with 9 years of training in jazz drums and classical percussion), and I've gotten to a point where I'm ready to play paid DJ gigs (I have promoters, a decent following, etc). Assuming I've reached that skill level, what would be some good first steps in getting paid gigs?
The main problem I've encountered has been my age severely limiting my reach (Brooklyn and Manhattan don't have very many 18+ venues that I would have access to DJing at, and the majority of people that come out to my shows are between 19 and 21)
Oh, and if it's any difference, I have my own sound system (pair of Alto TS112As and a behringer B1800x pro). Should I just organize my own events? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks for taking the time to read this
