A DJ is a person who entertains the crowd of a discotheque party, or an event by playing lively and energetic music. Apart from night clubs and discotheques, DJs are hired for keeping the guests engaged on various occasions, such as Cricket or Football matches, Corporate Parties or Product Launches, weddings, engagements, birthday parties, and any other social gatherings. A professional disc jockey should know the techniques of combining and merging different soundtracks, by making use of the requisite software or other instruments.
One can look for various contracts and perform at Stadiums, Corporate Parties, College Fests, banquet halls, discotheques, farm houses, and any other place where such parties are organized.
A disco jockey can earn anywhere between Rs. 5,000 and Rs. 10,000 per night. However, the earnings can vary on the basis of the popularity and reputation of a particular DJ.
