DJs only hurt BAD, or lazy musicians. There’s room for almost any entertainer that’s willing to put in the work, as long as they do the job that’s offered. Here’s my recipe for success:
Don’t play jazz at a Parrot head bar, don’t play Al Jolson for millennials, and don’t ignore the audience ...
Stay fresh, play your strengths, exercise humility, work the room, and you’ll be just fine.


DJ's have the advantage of being able to go in as one piece and covering a big job like a Wedding at a lower cost. Even thought its grown to a point where they are charging as much as bands by bringing light shows,video screens, and "Party Motivators " Yecch !!1 Thats what blew the bands out of the water. also cheap entertainment for bars etc.
