Tosatto, I always see the dudes playing their music in the tunnels of public transportation and I say to myself, “wouldn’t it be cool if there were a DJ there?!” too.
But then reality hits…these guys aren’t playing for a proper audience. it’s just a split moment, perhaps that they can give someone joy. It’s not really a sustainable way to live off a music career. (maybe, this is why we only see coins and a couple bills)
DJing in a shopping centre, is something I have experience in though. I’ve had a few bookings that were made with fashion brands that rented out the space. The first one was made by referral and the other one I did by digging into different brands PR people and special events peeeps.
How did I do this?
-Check out Bio and/or About page on their company website
-read their blog/website
-Twitter- An absolute GOLDMINE for all the things they’ve been up to recently/are
currently into. Don’t be afraid to go way back in history if you need to
-LinkedIn- Check their employment history, where they went to school and what they
studied.
-Facebook- Check their About. If you’re not friends, have they made any posts “Public”?
-Business Facebook Page…for anything personal they’ve written (ie other than links to their own site)
-Instagram- Find out where they’ve been, and what they’ve been up to.
-Pinterest- What excites them? What do they collect or long for?
-Google + and other social media…If you know they’re on anything else – have a look!
So many ways of finding people who are actually in need of your service…they just don’t know it yet. 😉
