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.
