DJING is a great pastime that, for some people, turns into their ideal profession. The basic concept for becoming a DJ is utilising equipment to play music from two or more sources while using different music modification techniques to prevent pauses and gaps while combining songs. DJs would simply switch back and forth between two versions of the same song to produce unique sounds. Within the DJ community, this has now developed into an art form.
The capacity to manipulate music to express oneself is regarded as an incredible talent. DJs often play inside of a nightclub or on a concert stage, but they also take the stage during other occasions, including performing during radio broadcasts or podcasts, to even a cafe or late-night bar setting. In addition to performing at private events such as weddings, runway shows, live broadcasts, and even just home parties or domestic gatherings, they also perform at house parties.
DJs who specialise in doing routines for competitions are among the more unusual sorts of DJs. Some DJs play live music alongside snippets or background tracks as part of a band. They all share a passion for music and putting it together, which is what brings them together.
theSun recently reached out to DJ Dodo and DJ Mia, two brilliant up-and-coming DJs. We chose to have them take us behind the scenes so that we could learn more about their lives and their profession.
We asked them a wide range of questions, such as how they got started as DJs, where they find the inspiration for their mixes and tracks, and what advice they would provide to those looking to follow in their footsteps.
When did you start your career as a DJ?
DJ Dodo: “It began in 2019. I had a job as a videographer for more than six years. But I’ve always had fun mixing and editing music. I’ve always known for some reason that I wasn’t cut out to be a videographer. The daily journey to work wasn’t as interesting. But ever since I started paying attention to music, I’ve felt that thrill, which is why I chose to pursue DJing.”
DJ Mia: “I first became interested in DJing as a pastime. Before I became wholly devoted to DJing, I worked at a few jobs. I signed up for the Guan Pin DJ academy. I was driven by the conviction that, if I were to do it, I had to do it correctly. Eventually, I encountered an opportunity in 2019 and seized it.”
