You’ve probably thought to yourself, at least once or twice, “I wish I was a DJ.” You wouldn't be judged if you had. Some of you have maybe even had the chance to dabble some or spin some tracks at an after-party, birthday party, wedding party, cousins bah mitzvah, or whatever. It feels good right? If you haven’t had that chance, it’s a ton of fun! But what do you do when you become serious about it? How do you continue to get that experience that’s so important to go pro at anything? Where do you look for gigs, or opportunities to play? Should you play gigs for free? If so, for how long before you can begin asking for compensation? These are all questions worth asking, and certainly, all of these questions have more than a few opinions behind them.
