I've lost out on weddings to older djs... I don't know if it was in fact because of age and experience... or if it was because of price or something else, but the dj's I once in a while have competition with are in their 40's and 50's.

There are plenty of clients who fear that the young, good-looking DJ is inexperienced and is just looking to hit on bridesmaids.
The world still has lots of of potential customers who can think rationally.
Look at me. Do you honestly think I get gigs based on my looks?

Plus, being old and presenting old are 2 different things. If you are not fat and gray you should be able to look energetic and young into your mid 60s. If you keep up with current trends and speak the language of younger people and are fairly conversant with mindless pop culture, you should do OK. The 2 enemies of presenting younger are weight and gray hair. All DJs should be working out regularly and staying fit. If only to be able to handle the load in and set up without struggling.

Speaking as a 53 year old...(who doesn't have gray hair, but is kinda chubby)
When your body starts disintegrating around age 40,
it's tough enough to get out of bed....so "working out regularly" is not always the soltuion.
But are correct about "presenting old".
I firmly believe that having a job that allows me to behave like a kid has kept me from "acting old"....and thereby "feeling old".

I'd get the post-finger-breaking beers all iced up, but I know you don't drink .. Maybe some iced tea or lemonade for the knuckle-buster?
