being a dj - part 4

Becoming a DJ at a radio station may require a bachelor's degree. Journalism, broadcasting and communications majors can study a wide range of topics. Some of these topics can include voice training, sound engineering, journalism or reporting skills and computer training. A bachelor's degree is not always required but may increase the chances of being hired as a radio DJ.
There are no formal educational requirements to work as a club or party DJ. However, some colleges offer courses that club DJs may find useful. These can include music software training, sound production, marketing and small business management.

Certification

In general, disc jockeys do not need formal certification to find work. Obtaining voluntary certification in topics related to broadcasting, like production management or computer training, may be helpful.

Licensing

In the past, radio DJs needed to obtain a commercial broadcasting license in order to work on the air. This was due to the fact that broadcast transmissions are regulated by the Federal Communications Commission. However, this requirement no longer stands and broadcast DJs do not need to be licensed.
Club or party DJs may be required to obtain an entertainment license or small business license in some areas. This can vary based on the location where a club DJ is working.

The path to entering this profession can vary depending on the type of work that an aspiring DJ wants to do. For those planning on working in radio broadcasting, pursuing a bachelor's degree in communications or journalism may be a good way to start.
Some journalism degree programs give students the opportunity to apply for internships at local radio or television stations. This can be a great way to obtain hands-on experience and develop skills that employers value.
DJs who work in entertainment venues usually do not need a degree to find work. They can learn how to be a DJ through independent study or by learning from established club DJs. Some colleges and universities offer music study courses that may cover some of the skills that club DJs utilize on a regular basis. These skills can include sound engineering, audio production and the use of music computer software.

How Long Does It Take To Become A DJ?

Becoming a DJ in the broadcast industry can take several years. Earning a bachelor's degree in communications or broadcasting usually takes four years. After college, aspiring radio DJs may work at internships or entry-level jobs for several years before advancing to a full-time DJ position.
Becoming a club or party DJ may take several years as well. Learning DJ skills and booking enough jobs to become experienced may take a year or longer. Developing the experience and reputation to work as full-time independent club DJ may take 2-5 years.

How much does a disc jockey make? The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that disc jockeys earned a median pay of $27,750 per year in 2012. That figure translates to $13.34 per hour.
The amount of money that disc jockeys earn can vary widely. For example, DJs who work in major urban or metropolitan areas may earn a higher salary than those who work in rural cities. Experience is also a major factor for DJs who earn a high salary. Having a bachelor's degree in a relevant field, like journalism or broadcasting, can help DJs find more lucrative jobs.
Disc jockeys may work full-time, part-time or work independently and set their own work schedule.

Minimum Education: None
What does a disc jockey do? DJs can perform a wide range of tasks throughout their careers. Radio DJs may choose which music to play during a broadcast and provide details about each song. They may also read traffic reports, discuss weather reports or inform the listener about breaking news stories.
Club DJs choose playlists of songs to create the right atmosphere for dancers. Some DJs spend a great deal of time developing the skills to create a perfect party mix and to transition seamlessly between songs. Many of these DJs work independently and may take jobs at weddings, parties and other special events. Some club DJs eventually become producers and create music of their own.
Disc jockeys must be able to handle many responsibilities simultaneously. If they are employed at a radio station, they must be able to coordinate with directors, editors and technicians to ensure that every broadcast goes smoothly. If they work independently, they must be passionate self-promoters and have great social skills.

Duties

• Deliver both scripted and live broadcasts

• Interview guests, provide commentary or report news
• Independent DJs must market their skills and find new clients

DJ SLIQ KAY

 
I am the Broadcasting phenom known as DJ Sliq Kay, born on 10 August 2015 on PowerFM Zimbabwe.

i was dubbed SLIQ by Witness "ChuMan" Matema who said i had a certain smoothness about me and an aura of charm that oozed through my gentlemanly persona (his words exactly). 

Music has always been particularly an area of concern through out my life and has come in handy as a media of expression both artistically as well as being a way of living, 'the code" so as to speak. 

from this blog will be talking about my experiences on air, my playlists, new music, interviews and any other topics of discussion in my journey as a DJ for Zimbabwe's number 1 music station. 

So watch this space and tune into my shows Saturdays and Sundays from midnight until 3am on Zimbabwe's local frequency 99.3 or on DSTV 893.
