I personally use a laptop loaded with MP3's, a 500 watt amp and Yorkville 115 speakers, but I used to use 2 CD players, a microphone, a small mixer and power amp or powered mixer and speakers. Most importantly though is to have a good selection of music of all different genres... rock, dance, hip-hop, country, old-time (waltzes, schottises, jigs, 7-step, heel & toe polka etc), 80's, 50's & 60's. Proper liscencing is a good idea too, although I know alot of DJ's that don't have it. If you are planning on singing, a Karaoke system is a good way to start (and of course it's a good idea to be able to actually sing well).

turntabels or CD dj system and a mixer of course, and if your going to use a laptop then a sound card control vinuls and a program are needed. (serato scratch live is really good) also a speaker system and some lights, and headphones these are basic things to need it will be over 800 dolars but on some websites you can get packages for the turntables and speakers all together. the Scratch live mentioned earlier will cost 500 dolars unused and any price from 100- 500 used. a good website to check is www.idjnow.com here they have great deals and fair prices.

There is a lot of different gear someone would need if they wished to start their own DJ business. A person would require a tremendous amount of music, either on CD's or records. Also, many DJ equipment uses MP3 players and computers to keep all their music on. Turntables and speakers are also very important.

In the most basic sense, a singer does not need any equipment, just a voice, the ability to carry a tune, and some hearing ability.Other equipment, such as a sound system, recording system, music stand, written music, etc, are all extras that make singing in some circumstances easier or even possible. But none are necessary in order to sing.
