Download or read book How To Become A DJ How To Be Highly Successful As A DJ And How To Earn Revenue As A DJ written by Dr. Harrison Sachs and published by The Epic Books Of Dr. Harrison Sachs. This book was released on 2022-03-04 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay sheds light on how to become a DJ, explicates how to be highly successful as a DJ, and elucidates how to earn revenue as a DJ. While becoming a DJ may seem be an eminently cumbersome, expensive, time-consuming, and daunting undertaking, it is viably possible to become a DJ. Much to the relief of prospective DJs, it is possible to become a DJ in a time span of less than half of a decade and the journey to become a DJ is not as lengthy as the journey to pursue certain other occupations, such as the occupations of a medical doctor or attorney. The pathway that a prospective DJ can follow to become a DJ is fraught with challenges that are not a cinch to surmount. It can be arduous to fulfill the duties of a DJ. Disc jockey skills are highly desirable skills to possess. As of March of 2022, only an infinitesimal fraction of one percent of the global population work as DJs in the U.S. For instance, it is estimated that less than 14,800 work as DJs even though the U.S. population is comprised of over 332,000,000 people as of March of 2022. As of March of 2022, less than .00445% of people in the U.S. are employed as DJs. This means that out of 22,433 random people in the U.S., about only one person at most would work as a DJ as of March of 2022. As of March of 2022, it was estimated that there were more medical doctors and attorneys as an aggregate in the U.S. than DJs in the U.S. even though it takes far more years to fulfill the ample mandatory requirements to become a medical doctor or attorney than it takes to fulfill the mandatory requirements to become a DJ. As of March of 2022, there are no mandatory requirements that need to be fulfilled for a person to become a DJ. As of March of 2022, the economy is unequivocally in dire need of more DJs, especially since they are able to render social events all the more exhilarating to attend for people who are eminently fond of music. People rely on DJs to educe a thrilling atmosphere at the venues of social events. DJs cherry-pick stimulating songs for people to dance to at the venues of social events in order to render the social events all the more exciting for people to attend who revel in listening to music. DJs are not only capable of cherry-picking stimulating songs for people to dance to at the venues of social events, but are also capable of producing their own music. When song selections are egregiously abysmal at social events, then this can render them unexciting for people to attend and can detract from their fun factor if people do not feel compelled to dance to the recorded music at the venues of social events. DJs should ensure that their playlist selection is not banal, unstimulating, and insipid, but is rather exhilarating, thrilling, and stimulating. DJs should ensure that their playlist selection is compelling enough so that attendees of social events feel innately inclined to dance to the recorded music at the venues of social events. DJs should be receptive of the ambiance of the social events that they are playing recorded music at. A DJ should expeditiously revamp his playlist selection in the event that his current playlist selection receives unfavorable reception at a social event where he is playing recorded music at. People prefer for social events to serve as a metaphorical catalyst for allowing them to bask in having fun. Freelance DJs are not limited to furnishing their service offerings to an infinitesimal clientele. DJs can be “self-employed and work on a contractual basis”. Freelance DJs are able to customize their own schedule and furnish their service offerings to clients from around the world. There are a myriad of disparate types of DJs. Some of the ample disparate types of DJs encompass “radio DJs, mobile DJs, wedding DJs, and turntablists”. The competencies can vary from DJ to DJ. It would ultimately behoove a prospective DJ to explore the various DJ career paths so that he can ascertain what specific type of DJ career is the utmost befitting DJ career for him to be pursuant of for years on end. A wedding DJ’s role at wedding events can extend far beyond the ambit of him simply playing recorded music at wedding events. The tasks of wedding DJs can, for instance, involve playing recorded music at wedding events, providing sound equipment at wedding events, providing lighting equipment at wedding events, and accommodating the music preferences of the newly married couple of a wedding event.

Download or read book One Heart at a Time written by Delilah and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “You’re listening to Delilah.” Delilah, the most listened-to woman on American radio, has distinguished herself as the “Queen of Sappy Love Songs” and America’s ultimate romance guru. But Delilah’s life off-air is all the more extraordinary—a life full of trials, forgiveness, faith, and adventure. In One Heart at a Time, Delilah’s heartfelt account of her own story reveals what shaped the voice that 9 million listeners know and love. Today, Delilah is the founder of an NGO called Point Hope, the owner of a 55-acre working farm, and an inductee of the National Radio Hall of Fame. But to achieve this, she often had to pave her own way. Disowned by her father, divorced, and fired from a dozen jobs over the years, Delilah pushed forward through family addiction and devastating loss, through glass ceilings and red tape. Her consistent goal to help those in need took her everywhere from the streets of Philadelphia to refugee camps in Ghana. Along the way, Delilah was blessed by thirteen children—ten of them adopted. Though many of them contend with special needs and the forever effects of a broken foster care system, her children have been able to transform their own remarkable lessons into guiding lights for other kids in need. Just as Delilah has done. One Heart at a Time exposes the real woman behind the microphone. In her easy-going style and characteristic, beloved voice, Delilah tells her deeply moving life story as the series of miracles it is.

Download or read book Sonic Warrior written by Lou Brutus and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FEATURING A FOREWORD BY COREY TAYLOR OF SLIPKNOT For lack of a better term, Lou Brutus is a "Professional Music Fan." He lives the dream of millions by traveling the Earth attending concerts and interviewing rock stars. He's spent his life blasting tunes on the radio, becoming the first to play all of your favorite bands, and gaining access to literally thousands of music events. There is no one in the media who has seen more shows or conducted more on-site interviews than Lou. Sonic Warrior is a collection of insane-but-true stories from the career of Rock Radio legend Lou Brutus. Each chapter is a separate tale that careens around his 40+ years of covering concerts, interviewing music's biggest stars, and influencing generations of radio listeners. Starting with the first show he attended (Black Sabbath at New York City's Madison Square Garden in December 1976, where he threw up Boone's Farm Strawberry Wine all over his older sister's boyfriend) and continuing to the present day (where he doesn't puke as much). Stops along the way include Live Aid in Philadelphia (where he threw up on the entire crowd from a helicopter), the Arctic (where he didn't throw up on anyone but did get in a mosh pit with the native Inuit villagers as Metallica performed a song about sodomizing a goat), Live Earth in London (where he chugged ale with Spinal Tap's "Stonehenge" dwarfs and almost threw up), and the New Jersey Turnpike (where the tour bus he was traveling in ran over a guy, which is much worse than throwing up). Whether having his life energy drained through the palm of his hand by Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones, watching cocaine get snorted off a stripper's ass in Pantera's dressing room, or drooling in his own lap after smoking some kind of mutant mind warp demon weed with Snoop Dogg, Brutus gives a hilariously unvarnished look at the realities of the music industry from his fly-on-the-wall, "I'm just the guy here to interview the band" vantage point. The book also features a Foreword by his friend Corey Taylor, Grammy Award winning singer for Slipknot and Stone Sour, as well as an original illustration for each chapter by artist Alan MacBain.

Download or read book World in My Eyes written by Richard Blade and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Blade’s autobiography is much more than a spotlight on any one decade. Instead, he gives you a jaw-dropping, uncensored insider’s look into the world of music, movies, and television and its biggest stars, starting in the sixties and continuing through to the new century. Richard takes you on a journey that few have experienced: from his early days as a student at Oxford to the wild, lascivious nights of being a disco DJ touring the clubs of Europe, to coming to America and working with Michael Jackson, Barbra Streisand, and Sarah Jessica Parker and finally breaking through into the L.A. radio scene and becoming the number one morning drive personality in California. From his TV and radio shows to his feature films and live gigs, Richard shares stories that have until now remained secret. His unique perspective will take you on the road with Depeche Mode, to Australia with Spandau Ballet, into the recording studio with Morrissey, and onto the main stage at Live Aid with Duran Duran. He opens up about his friendships with Michael Hutchence and George Michael, as well as his passionate love affair with Terri Nunn of Berlin. This is a no-holds-barred look at life, sex, and death, set to a pulsing backbeat of music. For the first time, Richard Blade shares his extraordinary story, allowing us to see the world through his eyes.
