Meeting That Rare DJ Mentor – I was lucky when I was making the move to DJing as a full time hobby to meet a DJ who ended up mentoring me. I was at a night club in Minnesota a few years ago when my big brother introduced me to a friend of his.
Turns out that not only is this guy a DJ, a fantastic DJ, but also has years of promoting experience, and experience opening new DJ nights in bars/clubs around Minneapolis Minnesota.
The way it happened for me was that I played a guest spot or two at my mentor’s club night in my city of Minneapolis. People these days want a quick route to Djing … The danger is that the person may teach you “their” way of Djing and may not be the best way for you.
I was fortunate enough to live next door to a Champ (shortlegg DJ) who gave me tips on Djing etc, and had to find out the rest myself.
