This is a message for all the DJ's remain firm on your price, You must Value every effort you put in your presentation for every gig you do. There will be many cases of people who cannot afford you that is ok, and their will be a select bunch that will see your Value. When I started in this game I would grab everything thrown at me I would even go out of my way to get the gig setup sound and play for free, as I gained experience people then started seeing my value and I started earning I learned over the years of who valued what I done and started sticking closer to the ones who Valued me. There are many people who do not believe a DJ should earn top dollar. Imagine if you started as a youth earning R1000 a gig and then 30 years later some would expect you to earn the same. You have to grow every year. This is also a message to the general public for us to Set up at an event with equipment costing over 100k and working for 1k will not pay the bills. You would not like to work for a company and earn R1000 for 30 years we have to grow just like you are growing so please keep that in mind. I have said more No then Yes because I put a price on what I do. I work hard at my craft daily and adding to my profile if you want a Top Dj with great sound and lights [email protected] if you dont sell yourself no one will. So DJ's stick to your price and as for Melvyn the entertainment you provide at your wedding plays a massive role on the success of everything, it is just important as your venue, deco and food. Happy 2025.
