Being a DJ is a different skill to being a musician. I don't think there's any argument that there is however skill involved. But whether that can really be put on the same level as a musician that has trained for years to produce original music is a whole different argument .
Staying true to this thread, and using an example that speaks louder than words ,have a look at this YouTube clip and then tell me the level of skill involved to do this .
Also she gets regular bookings and probably earns more through her "musical skill " than most of us .
