Who is A DJ?

A DJ is a music professional who has the skills to mix recorded music and play the same in a continuous seamless flow for an audience.

“DJ” is an acronym for Disc Jockey, where the term Disc represents a Vinyl Record, CD’s or Electronic storage medium where music is stored. Jockey stands for a professional who operates or works with specified equipment. Contrary to common Indian slang and belief, a DJ is not the sound system itself, a DJ plays on DJ equipment or better known as DJ decks. Decks can comprise of Turntables, CD players, DJ Mixers, Midi controllers, a laptop, and other such equipment. 

Described as a musician, performer, artist, and entertainer, the DJ is all of them and more; it is imperative to understand here that a Dj is a professional entertainer and in the business of entertainment through music. It is not a title but rather a job function and business in a highly competitive industry. A difference between an Amateur or Bedroom DJ and one who is a Professional DJ, is distinguished primarily by ability and place of performance. All Dj’s start out as the same and can go PRO if they make the effort and choose to do so. 

WHAT DOES A DJ DO?

As one of India’s Best DJ Schools, at I Love Music we believe that the DJ is the musician of the future. These live performance artists must have a unique vision to take individual tracks and mix music into one organic, seamless flow. Dance music is a huge part of the music industry today, and the DJ takes center stage at all kinds of events—from clubs to fashion shows to live performances. As the business itself is developing, the avenues for DJing are quickly expanding. Choose to specialise in one part of the technique or the process as a whole, a professional DJ now has many potential avenues within this fresh and exciting music industry.

At the end of the Pro DJ course, successful DJ students can organize their own DJ events, perform and gain real-world experience or intern under a senior Dj professional. Speak to our admissions representatives about how you can maximize your learning with us and take advantage of practice time on the DJ console during the DJ course.

Are you a Bedroom DJ? ​

The Urban Dictionary describes bedroom DJ’s as :

“A person who owns Dj’ing equipment (ie. turntables, mixer, CDJ’s, etc.) and has a passion for music, but doesn’t play out to crowds at bars or special events (ie. raves). Instead, they opt to play their music at home for their friends or over the internet via audio broadcasting software…”
