Be Seen, Be Heard

Introduce yourself to the community. Nobody has succeeded by keeping their gifts and you’ll clearly not be the first to break the mould. In anything that you do, ascertain that this is seen, listened to, acknowledged and praised. You can follow these tips:

Be a member of online clubs for dance music wannabes and experts. You’ll be surprised at how the influence of the Internet and of social connections will lead to meeting fDJ’s, clubbers and industry leaders who are hunting for new faces and talents.

Be present in events and activities where musicians and producers meet like dance halls and clubs. You can get to know them, emulate them and benefit from their social networks, too.

Use the web and all its freebies. With the rising popularity of video sites such as YouTube and dropyourtalent.com, you may now easily upload your work and ask your network to spread the news. Always have a sufficient number of videos so you can endlessly improve the number of visits to your videos.

Creatively advertise yourself through a website. With the rising availability of free domains, it doesn’t take you a lifetime to have your own website. This is a very useful marketing strategy as you’ll have adequate online space to introduce yourself and your work.

Being famous means letting go of timidity and having audacity. This is the one definite shot at getting a chance of the fame and fortune that the music industry has to offer.

Be You, Be Them

Conflicting but applicable, you need to make music that’s distinctively yours if you hopte to succeed in the music industry. Otherwise, you may just be labelled as a copycat who thrives using others’ music.

Take the famous Tiesto, for example. In his early days, he created hardcore/gabber tracks then changed to new beat and acid house before becoming among the leading producers of trance and electronic dance music.

If all the great DJ’s (e.g. Paul van Dyke, Tiesto, Fatboy Slim, Armin van Buuren) had to make a name for themselves by finding their unique music, and so should you. It is imperative that you “find your own beat.”

On the contrary, you’re not playing just for yourself. Dance music is meant to be danced to and it’s no fun when you’re dancing all by your lonely self. With this, you must ensure that while you’re following the current trends of music, you make one that will speak of you, and will sound unique.

You must be deliberate in everything that you do, though. Meaning, you need to practice, produce, listen to beats, mix music and dance till you drop. This is exactly what DJ-ing is all about so you must do this over and over again, if you need to.

Soon enough, you’ll just be amazed at the progress that you’re making and you will find yourself on track of being the best DJ there is!
