If you want to be a DJ, you better read this...
Did you see that Full time 'Effort' vs Full time? Yes, we are talking about full time 'effort' in DJing...
Many DJs in Malaysia actually have professional day time job as an advertising sales person, IT consultant, architect, runs a fashion boutique or even a restaurant. You must be thinking...where the hell these people find time for so many things...at the same time. Again, it's about how passionate are you on music and your willingness to sacrifice any other 'least' important things in your life and put it onto music / DJing.
A great article I've recently read:
I work during the day too before DJing at night...if I can do it, so why not you? Obviously it's not going to be easy. Few things that might happen to you:
- Lesser night out with friends
- Spending more time alone, messing with your decks at home / more time in the studio
- If you have a NOT-SO considerate boyfriend / girlfriend, chances of breaking up is HIGH! So ask yourself, DREAM is more important or relationship.
- Staying up late more often, either for gigs or get new tracks ready for your next gig
- Reading up more music magazines / websites than any other materials
- Talk, eat and sleep MUSIC!

Very true. Especially for those who think that DJing is an easy way to get laid or "look cool", please... go get a life! We sacrifice A LOT to chase our passion. When everyone else heads out for "Yum Cha" sessions.. we'll be locked away in our bedrooms trying to find the perfect cue point. Or seeking fresh songs. Or preparing our flow. Above all else, the music is the dream. And we chase the one dream. Always.

Exactly, DJ Anonymous is so RIGHT! If you really want to be a DJ, you better work twice as hard as anyone...to achieve your dream! :)
