University & Djing

Obviously, its take a little bit of time getting down how to balance your time, but that happens for everyone. Most of things I DJ are at night, and I there isn’t much going on at night besides parties anyways!! I consider myself a pretty busy guy, and I still can fit in homework, DJing, and a social life, plus everything else I do.
Finding job opportunities in my town was pretty hard, because there are literally no clubs here. What I did was I became friends with people who put on some events for the university, and so when they needed a DJ they knew me! Also, in that way, people see you at that event, come up to you, and ask you to do their parties or anything like that. DJing at University is 100% about who you know, because I guarantee there will be 20 “other” DJ’s who are just as willing to do the parties. Something else I did, too, is I became friends with other DJ’s. What we did was start a little group. We pulled together our equipment, skills, and music and together we thrown down some pretty sick parties. Plus, everyone else has their own friend group, so there is always something going on we can do!
Sorry for typing so long, but my WHOLE experience DJing has been at University.
Where University are you going to?

Cheers for the informative reply! I figured that it would require quite a bit of time so hopefully I’ll find a balance when I get there. The DJ group sounds like a good idea as well, will defs see if I can meet a few other DJs in melbourne.

i’m travelling interstate for university in Australia (to Melbourne Uni), so I’ll actually know no one when I get there but that should only be a short term issue to deal with!
