Hey DJ lovers!!!

Music is my everything. That is what music is what music lovers would say to you. When words cannot express how I feel at times music is there to guide me through it all. Now with all that said, would it not be super amazing to experience this live with the people who understand "your" music?

LIVING THE MUSIC, LOVING THE DJ

This is where Dj's come in. A Dj is a disc jockey, that being a person who plays recorded music for an audience, originally "disc".

The title Dj is commonly used by Dj's in front of their real names or adopted pseudonyms as a title to denote their profession. Dj's play a huge role in the entertainment industry, but is the media platform given to them enough to sustain maximum exposure.

One needs to bear in mind that everything you do, you have to start from the bottom, build yourself up and become a well known, but with the many upcoming Dj's it is very difficult  to do that without a mentor.

 

 

 

DJ BLACK COFFEE

 

Take Dj black coffee for instance, real name Nkosinathi Maphumulo, he has been in the South African music industry for over 10 years. I 2003 he was chosen as one of two South African participants in the Red Bull music academy, which jump started his career in the SA music Dj scene. He did not become a world icon over night, he pushed himself and now with a great team behinh him he is recognized as one of the top Dj's in South Africa.

 

UPCOMING DJ'S

There are many clueless upcoming talented Dj's out there who need to step into the music industry, but does the media cater for these young talented upcoming Dj's?

 

MEDIA AS A COMMUNICATION PLATFORM

The media does not give coverage to the "unknown", but they also fail to give out information on such opportunities as the Red Bull music academy which Dj Black Coffee was part of. Before you become a professional in the work place  you get training, why can't the media do that for young ones who aspire to become "big" well branded names like Dj Black Coffee in the future?

 

YOUR OPINION

Do you think that there is enough information given from the media about recognized Dj schools or do you think it is the responsibility of the upcoming Dj's to seek their own?
