This morning I had 2 calls from DJs looking for work. That makes 3 DJs since December started. The 2nd DJ who called me today sounded pretty young...My guess is 20 to 23 range. He said he is a "DJ and a Artist" looking for work.
I told him to email me his info, and said I could perhaps use him in the future as a DJ assistant.
The first DJ is a DJ who use to work for another multi op in the area. He told me He hasn't had a gig since first weekend in October. He only charges $250 for 4 hours, and add another $25 to $50 for far drives, and doesn't care what I charge over that. He just wants work. I asked him if he had anything coming up. He said nothing. He has 1 wedding booked next May, and that is it.
Sign of the times. Lots of DJs, and it seems simply not enough work to go around in the area. ...I guess I should be very thankful for the 2 holiday parties, and 1 wedding I have this month!
I did have an email inquiry this morning for Friday night Dec. 22nd. The prospect asked if I have bollywood music, and appreciated my lightning fast response of 3 minutes! I am wondering if they are a company with a lot of Indian employees. ...It's a party for 200 guests at a hotel...We will see if he books me or not. I gave him my bottom price I'd be willing to do this one for off the bat. If he doesn't book, I think I am done with holiday parties for the year...I don't see any more coming in after today as it's Dec. 7th.
