DJ Haidak had to grind it out when he started, and he was quite content with taking no shortcuts to become one of the up-and-coming names in the music scene today. What sets him apart is his enthusiasm to encourage other individuals to go through the same DJing process. He shares some ways that novice DJs can make a name for themselves in this blog.
1. Free shows
When you’re starting, there’s nothing that establishes your identity better than letting people hear your kind of music. As a beginner, it’s important for you to showcase your wares, free of charge, notes Haidak. You won’t draw in people to a paid performance if they don’t know what to expect. Set up free shows online, and if possible, in person, too.
2. Competitions
Do you really believe that you are worth a fair shot? Entering a level playing field might be exactly what you need, and this is what DJing competitions are all about. Today’s top DJs started from being virtual unknowns, and many of them are products of competitions. The added excitement that comes when individuals go at each other is something that many people look forward to. This may also be an opportunity for you to start building on your fan base.
3. Giving to charity
If you are like Haidak, you also believe in the power of using music to bring people together. He uses his platform to apportion money for charities and worthy causes. This certainly is a welcome development, especially in the financial sense, but there’s no denying that this charitable work has added to the success of DJ Haidak’s reputation, too. You might want to do the same.
