How do you become a Dj?

Asked by Wiki User

You don't need any specific education, but it might pay to check out any DJing courses you have available nearby.

The main thing you need is good taste in music. Know what the people want.

You'll need a good presenting voice, and most of all, you'll need plenty of money to get started. You need to buy mixers, amps, speakers, and all good DJ's have plenty of lights, lasers, and smoke machines! Haha.

Good luck :)

Hi,

It depends on what you are getting yourself into really! Having a good knowledge of music is the main thing really. You have to have that first to Qualify : )

DJ HOME SKILLET:

well im only an up and coming DJ but from what I have heard all of those courses most schools offer dont really help out at all. one big thing is that you should stay with the same style of music the whole night. Also you will run into many types of people (if you play at clubs who might be high,drunk, or both, if these types of people ask for a request and you are worrying about them knocking your teeth in just tell them"I'll see if i have that". One last tip is dont go to a party that you will be dj high or drunk, after all the party is not all about you and you need to be alert at what you are doing all the time incase something does go wrong. big ups :)

He found a dead mouse in his computer while he was replacing his video card. He talked with people in chat rooms and he became known as "that dead mouse guy" and since his username was too long, he shortened "Dead Mouse" to deadmau5.

How much does a deadmau5 head cost?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Generally they range from about $350-450 for the Deadmau5 head itself, plus shipping. There are a number of individuals who will sell these to you, and they range widely in quality and features. Some of the heads feature blinking and moving lights, and well-done versions of these will cost in the upper end of that price range.

You can also purchase a similar looking head at www.costumeheads.com, which sells them for a bit cheaper... currently about $275-375. Also, these guys seem to know what they're doing, since the quality of their heads is great, and they have lighting patterns that I haven't seen anywhere else. I haven't bought anything myself, but I do know someone who got one of these.

Finally, you can try making your own. Be prepared to spend about $80-200, depending on the types of materials you use. It also is quite a bit of work (I've heard 1- 4 weeks) and research to find the materials, so be prepared for an ambitious project! Good luck!

Where can you buy deadmau5 helmet?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

you can find replicas on eBay people have made by hand, but they may not be great quality. The best idea would be to make one yourself, though it would take many weeks or months. Deadmau5 himself did sell his diamante mau5head on behalf of EMI records for approximately £20,000 on eBay to raise money for the Japan earthquake.

How many fans does deadmau5 have?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Millions of fans. I have not met one person yet who does not like Pink Floyd.

They are an incredible band.

The band was really famous in their time.

They could have been so much more, if Roger Waters did not have to control the band, which eventually forced their departure.

But there are tons of fans out there who adore Pink Floyd even to this day.

How did Deadmau5 become a DJ?

Asked by Jonthescar

Deadmau5 was just an underground DJ who released his tracks on his websites and music sharing sites. His first big hit, was actually making fun of dance music called "This Is The Hook". It reached #1 on Beatport's charts. A very famous European (Pete Tong) DJ played his track (Faxing Berlin) on his radio show and he hit popularity. Ultra Records signed him to a record deal and after a few years of mild success, he when on a record-selling spree with his track "Ghosts N Stuff". He then opened his own record label and signed many artists including Skrillex.

Is deadmau5 techno?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, Deadmau5 specializes in Progressive House and Electro House, sometimes he mixes the both together.

My opinion: He is the only artist i have respect for when it comes to the Electro House music, mainly because he does not jumble it like the R'n'b artist do now a days that try to fuse Electro House with their music and it just never works in the end.
