A Weekend Full Of Gigs

Hi guys
Had my first official paid gig last night…
$30 for two hours.. wasn’t nearly my best, but it was passable.

I played earlier today.. 2 hours as well… Except I had to play this corny halloween music. To me it was like nails scraping on a chalkboard.

Anyways, I’m playing later today as well.. another 2 hours worth… hopefully this set will be the best..

The S4 has held up amazingly so far

I also have guaranteed residency at least one night a week..
It’s rather cold though because i work at an Ice Rink :stuck_out_tongue:

Congrats on getting the work!

$30 for two hours? broham, up your rates. i get $200 for 3 hrs (but i have my own equipment - speakers/lights/ect…)

I do need to up the rates, and I will eventually, but i’m riding off the rink’s terrible PA and alright lighting system…

Yeah, hourly rates for performers and djs should be much higher. I think fair wage is $75 an hour. $30 wouldn’t cover equipment and music expenses.
