What does the day in the life of a DJ look like?
A lot of times, I have a lot of time during the daytime. Much of that time is spent prepping my setlist for the night or for the weekends.
Often, I'll have a guest spot for about an hour. Sometimes I'll bounce around different bars and clubs.
It's about creating and organizing, and making sure I'm taking full advantage of the time I have during the day. I just want to be ready for the gigs later on.
