 | Pro dj reveals secrets, tips, and strategies on how to turn your dj hobby into a successful and profitable career.
In current times DJs are faced with a dichotomy: some consider them as artist, while others refuse to assign them any artistic status, but this discussion has less to do with the actual work of a DJ and more with conservatism and slowness of acceptance. In less than a century, electronics and computers have made an inroad into the world of arts, and musicians, artists, critics and the public can only adapt slowly, at a graceful and easy pace.
When the first recordings appeared, high society considered them something of a nice toy for the ordinary people: if you wanted music, you should better have a full bad at your mansion's or palace's garden. Today no one questions that there is art in a DVD.
When the Telemint and the synthetizer appeared, traditional musicians didn't thought much of them. Today, these instruments have become part of our musical culture like violins, flutes and other classical instruments.
And after these unconventional instruments made their scenic appearance, a new generation of art expressions based in a novel concept have begun to evolve, and that is the kind of creative editing of musical scores that DJs and people who love to toy with MIDI files and such stuff are doing. True: while you work as a DJ or edit MIDI information you are not composing music, but orchestra directors are neither when they rehearse and arrange things. Nevertheless, nobody would dare to question the fact that a director is in fact a musician, despite the fact that he or she actually never produces one single note with the characteristic magic wand that has become the single most characteristic aspect of such a work.
So, being a DJ is not simply about mixing sounds; it is a true, albeit different, form of artistic expression that deserves recognition. But in order to achieve that, there is a lot to do at the professional level, and if you like to be a DJ, this is your opportunity to do something about it.
