Getting your first gig
I know their is probably some article or other thread about on the website but here is the question. Im 15 so how and where can i get a job as a dj and where can i advertise my self. Please ANY advice is helpful.
Definitely way too young… your best bet is school events. You aren’t going to be getting into any clubs any time soon.
Practise and play in your room until you’re 18 and then start looking for gigs.
(Childish whining) But i don’t wanna wait!!!
Controllerism videos on YouTube. That’s basically the only real “market” for people your age unfortunately. There’s also a SLIGHT possibility that if a club is running a regular under-18s night you could get a spot there, assuming you’ve got the skills.
At that age, play for your friends and family. Sometimes, all you need is word of mouth from social friends.
sweet 16s, friends partys, school events, ish like that…spread the word of what you’re all about around school and friends. If there is some under 21 spots, try going out to those and see what they’re all about, if you like them, then frequent them and try to make friends and see if you can maybe get a shot in an opening slot
Start producing download the trial of ableton and start making music and uploading it to soundcloud (only if it is good)
Producing really helps get your name out there.

Don’t think of being young as a disadvantage. Think of it as having 3 more years than everyone else to get better before you enter the circuit. I discovered DJing way too late, and I don’t have any time to really mess around with it.
exactly. i didn’t even start till i was over 27
