    3 Important Tips for Newbie Disc Jockeys

    Becoming a Disk Jockey or DJ is not that easy especially if you do not know how to discipline yourself. If you plan to become a radio DJ, you have to make sure that you have what it takes to make thousands of radio audience listen to you. More so, you have to know what strategies or moves you have to do in order for them to continue on listening to you. As for the nightclub DJ, you also have to learn some tricks on the turntable. You have to make the music very interesting for people to enjoy their stay in your place.

    First pointer you have to remember is that you have to invest in equipment and software. For you to have better idea on how the music will sound, you can also improvise. There are many software that you can choose from if you want to learn how to DJ. There is also equipment that you can buy and start practicing at home. Nevertheless, make sure that you will only get what you need to begin learning on how to DJ. It may be okay to buy some of the more complex items as long as you will use them too in the future.

    Second pointer is that you must be able to research on almost everything that is about learning how to DJ. There are some videos uploaded that you can watch and take notes of. Once you finished it, you can practice doing it when you get the chance. You can opt to have a notebook for notes so that you would not forget anything. This will also serve as a guide for you when learning the tricks in DJ mixing.

    Third pointer is that you must have faith in yourself. If on the first try you to do get what you are aiming for, you should try again. Nothing will happen to you if you just stop pursuing your dream just because of one failure. You will need to learn how to market yourself, ‘get your name out there’. It’s not going to easy but there are many disc jockey marketing books out there to help you. Try to think of this as a challenge that you must overcome. People who learn to surpass their previous mistakes tend to become more confident in themselves rather than those just running away from it.

    Always remember that in this field, you have to know whatever you can. Try to experiment yourself and see which one works for you best. Watching videos will help you a lot when it comes to jockeying. You can even ask some of your friends to help you out here especially if they know a thing or two on how to DJ. The important thing here at the end is if you really enjoyed what you doing. After all the sacrifices and failures, in time, you will be able to rise victorious on learning how to DJ. Although it is easier said than done, at the end of the day, you learn to appreciate everything that you know because some day, you will be able to pass this on. Try to make the most out of it and you will be okay.

    Beyonce takes 6 Grammys, makes history

    It’s a tribute to the Grammys‘ success at becoming more a musical spectacle than an awards show that on the night she made history, Beyonce was just another face in the crowd.

    Pop’s reigning diva earned six Grammys on Sunday, more than any woman on a single night of the 52-year-old awards show. Her anthem “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)” was song of the year. But she didn’t come onstage to accept that — her collaborators said she was prepping for a performance — and four of her other awards came during the non-televised pre-show.

    The Grammys’ four biggest awards were split four ways: 20-year-old country chanteuse Taylor Swift won album of the year; family rockers Kings of Leon won record of the year for “Use Somebody”; and the Zac Brown Band was named best new artist.

    The Grammys in recent years have tried to emphasize the music more than the awards, particularly by pairing younger performers with veterans. This year, producers nailed it, with a double album’s worth of memorable performances.

    Among the best were the Black Eyed Peas, who sang “I Gotta Feeling” with a stage filled with what looked like dancing tomatoes and robots. Lady Gaga was predictably over the top, singing “Poker Face” and getting tossed into a bucket of fire before emerging singed and combining forces with an equally dirtied and bemused Elton John.

    Green Day turned its “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” into a soaring beauty by joining the cast of a new musical based on its “American Idiot” album. Opera singer Andrea Bocelli was joined by Mary J. Blige for a powerful, and heart-breaking rendition of “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” done for the benefit of Haitian earthquake victims.

    An acrobatic Pink turned her “Glitter in the Air” into a Cirque de Soleil-like performance, hanging suspended over the audience as she sang. “That was amazing,” an impressed Keith Urban said after she was done.

    Memorable pairings included the white-haired, white-bearded and white-hatted Leon Russell joining the Zac Brown Band; Maxwell and Robert Flack singing a silky-smooth “Where is the Love”; and Stevie Nicks, looking like a protective mom, joining Swift on her “You Belong With Me” and Fleetwood Mac’s “Rhiannon.”

    An arresting performance of “Forever” and “Drop the World” with rappers Lil’ Wayne, Drake and Eminem was rendered virtually incomprehensible by craters of silence inserted by CBS censors. And the 3-D tribute to Michael Jackson proved overrated, with Celine Dion, Jennifer Hudson, Usher, Smokey Robinson and Carrie Underwood looking like they’d joined a production number from “American Idol.”

    Swift, who won four Grammys, was the night’s most visible winner. She beamed during her duet with Nicks, and seemed thrilled in her two acceptance speeches — while staying poised enough to thank her record company for letting her write her own songs, and express pride at bringing the album of the year prize to Nashville.

    “This is for my dad,” she said. “Thank you for all the times you said I could do whatever I wanted to do.”

    Beyonce was low-key during her one time onstage to accept her sixth trophy of he night, for best female pop vocal on the ballad “Halo.” She offered thanks to her fans for their support.

    French rock band Phoenix won best alternative music album for “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix.”

    Indian composer A.R. Rahman won best soundtrack for his work on the film “Slumdog Millionaire” and best soundtrack song for “Jai Ho.”

    Luis Enrique won best tropical Latin album for “Ciclos.”

    “I came to the United States in 1978 with a bag full of dreams, running away from the war in my country, Nicaragua, and here I am,” he said. “So dreams do come true. I want to dedicate this Grammy to all the people in my country still struggling to make a better life.”

    La Quinta Estacion, the Mexico-based group originally from Spain, collected its second best Latin pop album for “Sin Frenos,” while Puerto Rican duo Calle 13 won its second best Latin rock, alternative or urban album for “Los De Atras Vienen Conmigo.”

    Two sons of Bob Marley earned acclaim. Stephen Marley won best reggae album for “Mind Control – Acoustic,” while Ziggy Marley captured best musical album for children for “Family Time.”

    Best traditional world music album went to Malian kora player Mamadou Diabate for “Douga Mansa.” American banjo master Bela Fleck won best contemporary world music album for “Throw Down Your Heart: Tales From The Acoustic Planet, Vol. 3 – Africa Sessions.”
