I'm a Dj living in the south of England and have been djing for the last 5-6 years.
I starting out by creating and marketing a mobile DJ buisness from scratch which made a tidy profit while i was at sixthform. I was doing not just birthdays but weddings and buisness parties.
I then started DJing in a few places around the Bath area and had a regular slot at Barr11 in frome.
I was later 1 of 10 finalists in a DJ competition in Utah were i had to send in one of my mixes and the amount of people liking it corresponded to whether you stayed in the comp or not.
