Who’s Getting All The Money Floating Around The DJ Industry?
There’s a lot of money floating around the DJ industry, right? Just take a look at the equipment that some DJs can afford to buy. Remember all those RAP videos showing rappers leaning on their Bentleys, drinking their Crystal, tossing $100 bills into the wind?
It turns out that reality is a lot different. There is a lot of money out there. Truth is that it’s concentrated in the bank accounts of a few.
DJ and producer Nick Thayer, who signed to Skrillex’s OWSLA label a few years ago, has written about where he sees that money actually going. So, if you think becoming a DJ is the road to riches, Thayer’s going to set you straight.
Spoiler alert: yes, you need to have talent; yes, you need to practice, perform, and promote yourself; yes, you need to know the right people.
Check out what Thayer has to say here. Do you think Thayer’s right?
