I’ve been DJing since 1992. I played for a few months before I got in front of a crowd, but it was a house party I threw for my brother’s 21st birthday. The first time I got booked to play anywhere was a year after I started. It was a big college party where DJs from all the local schools in Chicago were coming out to play. I did “ok”, but enjoyed myself.
I think when you pick out a name now, you should go on dotster.com and find a web domain name that works with it. Buy the name even if you just direct it to a facebook page or something. Might as well get your branding going.
I still wish things like VDJ existed back when I started. Would have been wonderful to download a free item to play with, then buy gear down the road. Back then you had to get gear if you wanted to play.
