July 24, 2014 Get Rid of Your Ineffective DJ Promotion for Good
Back when I started promoting my own music, I had a serious identity crisis.
When you me met in “real life,” I’d be super interested in what type of music you liked, what kind of places you like to go, where you’ve been and maybe who you’re sleeping with. I’d be a quirky, smart assy and even sometimes borderline obnoxious and just a ham in general.
I’d say funny things like, “my ma’s vagina” when people would ask me where I’m from. I’d usually be on the dance floor before or after a DJ set getting down to whom ever was playing at the time.
But back when I started promoting my own DJing or my own music, I showed NONE of this. I thought I would do what other people where doing when they shared people their music. I told myself, “Well, I can’t be the real me online cuz I’ll turn away so many people. I don’t want to miss any chance I have at a new fan!”
Sound familiar?
Especially when you’re first getting started. I know this because I walked in those shoes.

December 29, 2013 The One (and Only) Thing A DJ Should Ask For In Return For DJ Mixes
You’re creating boatloads of amazing mixes - yippee! So, it’s only natural that for every piece of music you deliver people should automatically make people want to come to your gigs or buy your latest release …right?
Errrr..wrong.
One singular piece of music isn’t going to translate into an immediate purchase or attendance to your event.
But, I have good news.
Building trust and BFF-worthy relationships with people so that they do backflips of joy when you make an offer is something you can do.

September 8, 2013 Amplify Your DJ Brand with These 4 Tips
Unless you have been living under a rock for the past 10 years, I would be surprised if you didn’t know about social media and what it means for you as a DJ, producer or electronic music artist. For a beginner DJ or as someone who is just starting your DJ career, it allows you to be successful even without a record label or radio support. If you are a more established DJ, it is even more an essential part of your digital being as a DJ in all your personas. Social media by default has become your personal DJ brand online and in fact with a Facebook page a lot of people already have an online DJ brand destination, they just don’t think of it that way as they publish and promote their music to friends, fans and followers. And here’s what they are missing!
