If you regularly perform knockout DJ sets in your bedroom and you are looking for a new career path, you could consider starting your own DJ business. This would involve hiring out your skills as a DJ to weddings, parties and corporate events, as well as performing sets at bars and clubs.
The first priority for anyone wanting to start their own DJ business is to source all of the DJ equipment they will need. This includes DJ decks, a DJ mixer, a portable amp and speaker system, a microphone, a decent pair of DJ headphones and maybe even a laptop with the latest DJ mixing software installed. You can search online to see what DJ equipment you will need, and to find the best deals on it.
Now that you've found all the right pieces of DJ equipment, and bought or hired everything you need, your next priority should be to practice your skills at home. If you do this, as well as making some pre-mixes and playlists for different audiences and events, you will be fully prepared for even the most last minute of bookings.
If you want to start booking gigs and making money, marketing is crucial. Start to get the word out by setting up your own website. On this, remember to include all of your contact details and try to sell yourself well.
Another good idea is to get in touch with another DJ who has just started their own business and who is in the same position as you. Agree to let each other know about jobs you are offered but aren't able to do, then you will both get more work.
So, now you have your own website, the right DJ equipment and you are starting to market your new business. What else do you need to do? The last things on your list should be transport for yourself and your gear, and insurance both for your equipment and to cover public liability requirements.
