I have the same problem. I have been bedroom DJing for almost 2 years now but just lack the social skills to get gigs. I know many DJs as I go to loads of their parties (if not personally at least enough to have chatted a few times on Facebook and they sure know me as I go to loads of parties and always let them know when/if I have enjoyed their music), but I am always treated as a guest or another guy dancing. Every time I have tried to show interest in playing or talking to them, they are either not interested or do not answer my messages (I think I was too eager a few times). If they answer it is always something like “talk to the right people at the right time and keep trying!” Isn’t that what I am doing with them? What can I do to fix this half-a$$ relationship and get myself some gigs? I just want to play for a crowd and make them dance. I feel like I have this gift that I want to share with people and do not even want money for it at this stage… I am really frustrated… Would love to hear comments. Thanks 🙂
