In much need of getting a DJ set/gig!

Not really the right place to post this

Just go to local pubs and bars that have dj's and ask if they would allow you to play for an hour free of charge very early during a quiet day, and if they like it if they have more work for you. Just don't go to bigger places (over 250-300 visitors), and don't play what you like to hear; play what the guests want to hear.

This suggestion isn't really specific to DJing, but asking for work in general.

Don't just put your name and contact details up, and then say "I want a gig". Since you don't provide much information, you make us (or anyone who might see your post) do all the work. Most people won't bother asking you more questions, or following your links without you giving clear details and links to actual mixes (that represent what you plan on playing).

Since you don't mention your experience, music style, goals, and reasons you think you are a suitable candidate for a gig, why would someone choose to take a chance on you? It feels like you are just asking a bunch of relative strangers for a hook up without giving a justification for why you deserve one.

So, my humble advice (other than to get more experience playing music first) is to work on how you promote/market yourself if you are actually trying to get real gigs and you truly think you are ready. At 16, people are already going to assume that you aren't mature enough. Right or wrong, you don't want to give people any reason to write you off.

Besides, if you can't sing your own praises and hype yourself up on the internet, no one else will.

Thanks man, I will consider this
