  • Raising the Bar: The Importance of Investing in Your DJ Setup

    Raising the Bar: The Importance of Investing in Your DJ Setup
    Jul 2 2025
    In this episode of the Mobile DJ Mastery Podcast, DJ2FOUR7 dives into the critical topic of investing in oneself and one's business as a mobile DJ. Through a compelling story about a friend's experience at a school prom, DJ2FOUR7 highlights the importance of having the right equipment and setup for events, emphasising that every gig is essentially an audition for future bookings. DJ2FOUR7 encourages DJs to reinvest their earnings into better gear and services, stressing that professionalism and quality are key to building a successful DJ business. Thanks to DJ NIBBLER for this show's story https://www.instagram.com/djnibbler/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Invest in Your Business: It's crucial to reinvest profits back into your DJ business to improve equipment and services. Set Standards for Equipment: Using inadequate sound equipment, such as small speakers for large venues, can damage your reputation. It's essential to have the right gear that meets the demands of the event and audience size. Every Gig is an Audition: Treat every performance as an opportunity to showcase your skills. Positive experiences can lead to referrals and future bookings, while poor setups and performance can harm your reputation. Adapt to Your Audience: When working with younger clients, traditional marketing methods like business cards may not be effective. Instead, utilise social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok to connect and engage with potential clients. Professionalism Matters: Arriving dressed appropriately and maintaining good customer service is vital. Poor etiquette, such as leaving auto-mixes running or dressing casually for formal events, can negatively impact your business and client perception. BEST MOMENTS "Guys, mobile DJ mastery. Yeah. We need to start setting some standards. And this one I'm talking about is no way near a standard." "Every single gig is an audition. 99% of the time if you're good at what you do, you will get a recommendation or a referral from every single event you do." "If you're one of those people and your setup isn't all that, invest into your business by getting some support from another company that makes you look good." "Bad news travels fast. If you had your Instagram up during that gig, you're stuffed. That Instagram, people black, that was that whack DJ from the prom." "Investing into yourself and your business is crucial. Reinvesting in your business and not taking profit for a while is probably the only way you're going to be able to lose your daytime job."OUR SOCIAL LINKS https://dj2four7.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dj2four7/ https://www.instagram.com/mobiledjmastery/ https://www.tiktok.com/@2four7dj HOST BIO With over 20 years in the entertainment industry, DJ 2FOUR7 brings a wealth of experience to this podcast.

  • Mastering the Art of Event Management: How Tony Balances DJing and Family Life

    Mastering the Art of Event Management: How Tony Balances DJing and Family Life
    Jun 25 2025
    In this episode, DJ 2FOUR7 welcomes Tony Roberts. They dive deep into the world of event management and the intricacies of being a successful DJ. With a rich background in music stemming from his parents' singing careers, Tony shares his journey from a young singer to a multi-talented performer who juggles DJing, singing, and managing a busy schedule of bookings. KEY TAKEAWAYS Importance of Management: Having a manager is crucial for handling bookings and inquiries, especially when dealing with a high volume of events. This allows for better organisation and ensures that the performer can focus on delivering quality performances. Unique Selling Proposition (USP): Combining multiple talents, such as DJing and singing, can set a performer apart in a competitive market. This versatility can attract more bookings and create memorable experiences for clients. Engagement with the Audience: Successfully managing the energy and vibe of an event involves reading the crowd and adjusting the performance accordingly. This includes knowing when to elevate the energy and when to bring it down, ensuring a dynamic experience. Booking Strategy: Clients need to book entertainment well in advance, especially for popular performers. Early inquiries can secure desired dates and prevent disappointment as schedules fill up quickly. Flexibility and Adaptability: Being able to adapt to different types of events and audiences is vital. This includes understanding the demographics of the crowd and tailoring the performance to suit their preferences, whether it's a wedding, corporate event, or a club night. BEST MOMENTS "When you start to get really, really busy, you're going to need a way of managing your bookings." "I can literally be playing a song. I can drop out the bass line... and everyone's going mad." "If you're expecting to get champagne for orange juice money, you ain't going to get it." "There's millions of brides getting married on a daily basis in the UK. There's enough pie for everybody." "You've got to be able to just switch it on, you know, and both, I know you're very similar to me in that respect."

  • From Hobbyist to Professional: Dan's Journey in the DJ Industry and the Power of Community

    From Hobbyist to Professional: Dan's Journey in the DJ Industry and the Power of Community
    Jun 4 2025
    In this episode of the Mobile DJ Mastery Podcast, DJ2FOUR7 welcomes Dan from the National Association of Disc Jockeys (NADJ). They dive into the importance of DJ associations and how they can significantly benefit DJs by providing essential resources like public liability insurance, educational opportunities, and community support. The conversation highlights Dan's journey from starting his own DJ business at the age of 13 to becoming an active member of the NADJ committee. KEY TAKEAWAYS Value of DJ Associations: Joining a DJ association, such as the National Association of Disc Jockeys (NADJ), provides essential benefits like public liability insurance at a lower cost compared to general providers, along with access to industry-specific resources and support. Community and Networking: Associations foster a sense of community among DJs, allowing members to connect, share experiences, and collaborate on events or educational opportunities, which can enhance their skills and business practices. Educational Opportunities: NADJ aims to offer various educational events, including online courses and workshops, to help DJs improve their business acumen, marketing strategies, and technical skills, thereby increasing their value in the industry. Member Involvement: The success of the association relies on active participation from its members. Those interested in contributing can volunteer their skills or organise local meetups, which can help strengthen the community and provide valuable networking opportunities. Transparency and Growth Goals: The association is focused on modernising its operations and increasing membership value through clear goals, such as improving educational offerings and engaging in public campaigns to educate potential clients about the importance of hiring qualified DJs. BEST MOMENTS "Did you know that there's something out there for all of us that we can sign up to after this pod and then we are sorted?" "It's a member's organisation. So as a DJ, you can join up and really benefit from various different bits that we'll get into later in the podcast." "I think to myself, like, what if when I started DJing... I would have loved to have started something back then, because what would it be now?" "Egos are left at the door when you enter the room." "You're putting money in a pot that can give back to you as a member; that is the key thing."
