About DJ Training & Mentorship
For me, DJing is more than just playing tracks - it's about sharing the vibe and helping others find their sound. Call me your bhai or your Guru, either way, I'm here to make the DJ world less intimidating and a lot more fun.
My Approach
- I keep it simple and real. We start with the basics, like beatmatching lessons and phrasing, focusing on listening skills more than just pressing buttons.
- No textbook stuff - I break down DJ skills development without the confusing lingo.
- You'll get hands-on with classic turntables, CDJs, and controllers. I love old-school vinyl, but I show you all kinds of gear.
- The sessions have a chill, supportive atmosphere. I'm not the strict sir type - just someone who's been there and wants to help.
What You Get
- Solid training on everything from fundamental mixing to building your DJ brand.
- Tips for reading the crowd, crafting your own sets, and finding your unique style.
- As a mentor on the Youth Music platform, I give DJ career coaching, help with networking, and real-world advice to help you actually move forward.
If you're serious about DJing and ready to work, I'm all in. Bas ek choti si smile toh banti hai na? (Come on, at least a little smile, right?)
