Money, how much money.
Money, how much money. Posted on: 05.08.2012 by Jaye Walkington Hello!!I Understand that this question is rather rude, but i need to ask anyway. (my feelings won't be hurt if no one replies.) How much money do make as a DJ? as in per gig, no more info. still, no reply mandatory, this is a really rude question. thanks, nosy noob | |
| Luis Fun 05.08.2012 | Look he was asking just cause he wanted to know... Just cause he's curious does not mean he's all about money! If he wanted money there other options then being a DJ. Lay off guys! |
| Audrey Pinda 05.08.2012 | Personally I feel that this chart is a little high, but it also depends on the market you are trying to work yourself into. |

That's the fulfilling part. Spread yourself by talent and your mixes. If you believe a logo is important when starting out like that, you're honestly no better than any other commercialized sellout dj. Spin for the grin, not the green. |

| Cole Maroto 05.08.2012 | what is going on with all the 14 year olds trying to make money from djing? the majority of gigs for working djs are at bars, clubs, or the mobile route (i.e. weddings). pretty much none of those venues are going to want a 14 year old as the dj for many reasons including alcohol, liability, and experience. now, i'm sure there are cases where a teenager was juiced into these kinds of gigs, but it's very rare and they usually know a bunch of people to get them in (or are very, very good). if you want to dj at local schools, ask your school and see if you can work something out with them. do you have any proper mixes people can listen to? |
| Margie Pavell 05.08.2012 | i'm playing for free toevening ...last time it went for 6 hours... |
| Celine Surico 05.08.2012 | $0 to $30,000 or so. |
| Jaye Walkington 05.08.2012 | this is pretty important, but as the dreaded school season comes around i will be out of work, and i was believeing of DJ'ing for local schools. ( note: i am 14, so i cant get complimentary drinks and stuff.) |
| 05.08.2012 | Before I say anything, I DJ for a hobby - not as a main line of employment. When I spin mashups/bootlegs I do it for free because I love it. I actually have refused money, and instead got comped drinks. In my mind, once money gets involved DJing loses its fun. That's just me. I know lots of people believe differently (and will accuse me of cheapening the art of djing...) DJing music, or putting together mixes that I don't care about, that's a different story. I've made $300 multiple times for mixes. |
