    I would stay away from words such as beginner, new and what not. Try using things like “Up and coming” “Next big thing” What would you rather hear?

    “Newcastle’s Newest DJ”
    or
    “Newcastle’s Next Big Thing”

    (I used Newcastle because thats where I’m from)

    It gives possible bosses/promoters who will hire you an idea of where you are, but that you are moving very quickly.

    Do not under any circumstances put anything that would indicate any inexperience. DJs are a dime a dozen…especially inexperienced ones who want to play at clubs.
    I’d be surprised if putting an ad anywhere would even get you a set for anything other than something tragic and not worth your time…that being said, it could be a good opportunity to expand your skills and get comfortable playing to the public. If you’re looking for legit club gigs then make the effort to actually go to the club and get yourself a set. You have to find them…they won’t find you…

    Maybe check out Phils recent article on hustling for sets

    Thanks for the input. The ad would be for private parties, small gatherings, etc., not the club scene. I appreciate the guidance!

    No worries dude. Good luck! Keep practising across many genres though or things could get hairy.
