Aspiring dj in need of assistance

Your dad's right. I have add, and it distracts me from my studies.... so much so that it's hard to balance.

Oh... and ask your family for money for christmas because you're a broke college kid... then go buy it without telling them... duh.

Grow a pair and raise the money on your own. What would sound like a better story to you?

"Yeah I started DJ'ing back in college when I begged daddy to get me a controller for christmas"

OR

"Yeah I started out in college when I worked my ass off to raise the extra money to get my first setup"

Get good grades...then try asking or get a job and buy it yourself. And as also mentioned before djing is an expensive hobby.

Give me his email address and I will use Jedi mind tricks on him. I've only used them in person so I'm not 100% it will work over email but I'm willing to give it a try.

Seriously though just accept whatever he gives you and thank him.

I'm in college and he thinks I will get distracted from my studies. I offered some of my own money from my bank account as an add on because most of our Xmas gifts add up to around $200. My dad is acting like I'm asking him to to feed sugar cookies to kids with diabetes. Because of me having ADHD I get distracted easily and almost flunked out of college. He thinks I didn't learn my lession and thinks it will happen again. Right now I'm running on a piece of crap Acer laptop and virtual dj. Can someone help me try to convince him and change his mind?

I think your Dad is right - i missed two exams and turned up to one 40 minutes late because i was mixing! I have also been known to wake up, give myself an hour on the decks, grab a cup of tea and then what was supposed to be a 10am finish became a 10pm finish with no food or water in between!

Traktor S2 looks the business ;)

Goodluck
