Most of the time people think that it is almost impossible to mix business with pleasure. More often that not a lot of us really aspire to achieve this cliche'. The million dollar question is that, "Can we really mix business with pleasure?'. "Is it even possible?".
People think that it’s impossible to become a well paid, professional DJ in the Philippines. Although most young aspiring DJs look to Mrtin Garrix, Alesso and other big names as their role-model. In reality, yes, very few will ever achieve international DJ status (this is a short list) like DJ Tom Taus but many people have rewarding, well-paid, full-time gigs. Their secret? How'd do it? Well... The answer to that is , they are willing to make some compromises and have built a stable network of consistent gigs. I personally have surveyed several DJs who make a cool 5 figures every week and spend 20-40 hours a week DJing local parties, corporate gigs and yes – a few birthdays here and there. Is every gig perfect? No. Are they making great money DJing? Yes.
For some, being a DJ started as a hobby. But this hobby will cost a pretty penny. From the equipment and top of the line lappy. So you better think twice or even three times. Because the return of investment may take years.
