Its something i've been wondering since majority of DJ's i've met in my local area have come from somewhere else in the music scene, myself i've been in several 'rock' bands where i've played drums, and a pop band that I played keyboards in.
Do you have any professional musical training? Myself i've got Rockschool Grade 8 drums, RGT Grade 5 guitar and ABRSM Grade 3 music theory. I did music technology at college so I 'had' to do them as part of my course, other than the drums I did that up to grade 5 outside college, then did my grade 8 inside college.
I still consider myself more of a musician than a producer or even a DJ as its what i've done more!
