wanted to share something kinda special to me - some of you may have seen on my Instagram that I’ve recently been getting back into music. I have to say, music is the only thing bringing me genuine joy right now. I rejoined choir at my college for this quarter, and a good friend of mine who has been learning to DJ for the past year has started teaching me, and I kinda love it? I always wanted to try it, but I thought it looked too difficult and complicated. Looking at everything the first time I was like “I have no idea how to learn how any of this works”. Somehow, it’s really not as hard as I thought??? Not “easy” per say, but less intimidating than expected.
this video is from last night, my 2nd ever DJ lesson! I’m still extremely new and learning, so it’s not perfect and I don’t do a whole lot of fancy stuff. I’m also concentrating on what I’m doing pretty hard since I’m still trying to memorize everything, (so if I seem pretty stiff that’s why) xD but I’ve learned that if you have any basic music knowledge (and I do have *some* professional training) that the most important thing you really need to be able to do is stay on beat. This stuff is a lot more approachable than I realized because of that.
If I continue to practice, my friend and I are thinking of starting a DJing duo where we might actually start performing at real gigs. This is a really exciting project for me and I’m hoping to keep at it and make it a real thing. I also hope that what I learn and who I get to know through DJing might eventually set me up to start pursuing a solo music career eventually if this really takes off in a good direction, or at the very least I can maybe start adding random vocals to stuff since singing is my main music thing.
what do you think so far? Keep in mind I’m new to this so I already know it’s not incredibly skilled DJing, but could you see this working in a potential night clubbing scenario? Would u at least bop ur head to this if u heard it live? Should I start streaming DJ practices and stuff? (Btw my friend is a dude so it’ll be a while before I start doing any sexy solo DJ stuff, if you’re looking to just watch cute girl DJing and dancing in sexy outfits that’s not gonna happen for a long while, until I learn how to do all this properly and get some equipment of my own lol. These streams will likely start out on Instagram and tiktok for now, and I’m probably gonna be dressed in black hoodies and stuff since that’s what I normally wear day to day anyways)
