Taking a break from the usual, played-out situation within the event industry, I will be taking some time to take a trip down memory lane. Working as a DJ for the past several decades has given me a wealth of experiences. Some good, some bad and some most definitely ugly. Before they fade into the abyss of my cobbled memory it seems like a good idea to put some pen to paper as a reference for my future memoir project that nobody wants to read.
Over the next month you can expect some stories spanning some career highlights, celebrity encounters and nightmarish gigs. For example, how the heck did I even find myself playing music for a living? How does one do that? Can you make any money doing this (yes, you can!)? Is this a viable path full of longevity and job security (oh, hell no!)?
From origin stories, escaping mob sit-downs,and lipping off famous drummers to intimate encounters in museums and tripping hard while scaling lighting rigs at raves, we’ve got a little bit of everything.
Let’s go!
