I know dude. Hell, I would do any gig for free. I just want to have that first experience to DJ at a party. But im going into high school, so hopefully that will open the doors a little more.Quote:

If you really want gigs, post a 30 minute mix and I like the idea of putting posters around your school to get people to wonder whats going on. They'll see it, go to the link, and if its good they'll listen. Ya, they might think its weird that a kid in their school is putting up posters of his Dj mix but to say that you wont do it because they'll consider you as a "try to hard" is just fuckin stupid (and I mean that in the nicest way possible).Quote:

But practice your brains out for the next 4 years and by the time you are 18 you will be getting club gigs that are 21+ and you'll really start to make a name for yourself.
put yourself out there. work hard. and please please please, dont give a second thought to what everyone thinks about you. You might not get it now, but when youre in your 20s you wont give a rats ass about everyone thinks besides employers/fans.

If i were u i would open up a mixcloud acc, download a variety of tracks and do a hour mix in as many genres that u like. Try to do a bit more then dubstep....once u have done a few hour long mixes, then people can analyze how well u peform in long periods of time. The reason u do this is because if the only mix u have is a dubstep mix, and if im not a big fan of dubstep, then im not gonna hire u for the night...but if i can c that ur capable of doing a genre that i enjoy for my party imma hire u.
sure man! if youīre really into it and willing to sacrifice yourself by being patient, gigs will come. donīt rush and donīt give up to fast if things donīt work out the way you wanted them.Quote:

another suggestion is make like 30-60 minute mix, burn it to cd, put your phone no, facebook, soundcloud and give it to your friends..
DJing is all about gigs and playing for people. But I agree with making a longer mix. I just dont know what songs I should mix to attract people to hire me for their partysQuote:
