Leaving the Bedroom

Leaving the Bedroom

Any tips/articles on promoting myself? I’m not very good at pushing myself but I feel that I am definitely ready to start getting out there. I am going to send in some stuff to the college radio station and want to get a gig for an on campus “International Dance Music Party” that is being hosted as part of an international week on campus. I need to make myself look legit, because of the old catch 22 with working, that no one wants to hire a dj that has no experience. Also do you guys think I should ask for money even with my first few gigs?

Also regarding the International Dance Party they are having, do you think they will be expecting “European” house, or some more far out stuff, like Indian club music, etc.

Ed. I am making a myspace music account, does anyone know of any good layouts, articles, etc. and what the legality/risk of putting up a mix is?
