I want to start a blog about my experiences as a DJ. Both in the club and as a Mobile DJ. So that people have a place that they can see my thoughts on what a DJ does and how he affects the event.
Music is a really powerful tool. It makes or breaks advertising on TV. Lends to or detracts from a scene in a TV show or movie. It can excite, pump up, enlighten, sadden, create a romantic mood, and even at times inspire. When doing a dance the DJ is the person who is really dictating how the dance is going to go. Some use the techniques of being a very good MC. I pertain to the other school of thought, I do not consider myself funny or great on a mike, but I understand music, I was studying for awhile in college to be a music teacher and was on a music scholarship. I cannot deny the power of music. I use music in the dances to create the mood on the dance floor, thus keeping the dance floor full. Every event is different, a Stake Dance is going to be different than a School dance which is different from a club, and all are VERY different from a Wedding. Each one requires a different mix of songs, and a DJ that can read the crowd and play what they are responding to.
The DJ has a huge responsibility, which as a DJ I take very seriously. I have been a DJ in a Club and at weddings, church dances, school dances, and business events for over 8 years, and enjoy what I do.
