VOXBOX Studios DJ Skool

Well I'm not sure why I never posted a review on here. So here it goes!
I started with the school about 2 years ago. I had no sweet clue where to begin, my music background was pretty much non existent. I ended starting the what I called an extreme struggle of trying to figure out how to play music.
I had a very hard time with it at times, but I would get to class suck it up and always be extremely discouraged that I would never learn. With a bit of motivation from the instructors I would fight through and by the end of the hour I would leave extremely satisfied because I actually had learned something.
After working extremely hard I started getting pretty good to the point where I was invited to help with different shows with the instructors where you started learning basic set ups and crowd reading.
Slowly after that I started getting my own shows here and there to fill in or help out where I could.
Now after about 2 years I have been sitting with a residency at a bar for just over 1 year and new opportunities are rising every day.
That's my story.

Now for anyone that thinks djing is easy. You might want to think twice.
It seems that everytime you think you have it figured out a new challenge comes along.
As for classes vs shows. Schools can only teach you so much. The major learning curve is by experiencing the actual job.
So now I'll talk about that when I started shows I had some difficult times but after I was done I would talk to Dave (the owner) for hours to talk about pros and cons of my night/selection of music etc. (At no cost)
He helped me very much and after a few weeks our conversations were rather short or none at all.
I've had many great discussion about the industry and people that are out there in the DJ industry and I have also dealt with quite a bit of it. By no means is it simple!

A little more about me.
Many people often ask me how long I have been in the industry most think at least 5 years ( haha ) jokes on them. I usually tell them that I took professional classes and that's why I believe I excelled. I thrive to know that people appreciate what I do and that I feel like I do it well and very professionally.

So for anyone thinking of joining the school/industry
- be patient
- be open minded
- don't worry it will come

I would like to thank both Voxbox and personally thank Dave for all the great instructions and wonderful opportunities that I have gotten!!
