An in Depth Interview on How to Become a Female DJ

It is indeed true that the old saying of " music is what makes the world go 'round". But how often is it that there is a female dj that is spinning the music? I wanted to take a closer look at female dj's, so I interviewed my best friend, a female dj that goes by the name of "Trust". 

It was fun sitting down with Trust to talk about the various aspects of being a female dj in a male- dominated profession. Trust stated that she was interested in becoming a dj because, " I wanted to make music to where people want to dance and have a good time. As a kid I used to play all the different music from my parents and friends record collections, and play with the record player. " Many people believe that it is difficult to become a female dj, and as any other male-dominated profession, Trust stated that it is indeed difficult to look for jobs as a female dj. There are various pointers for women that want to become djs that Trust wanted to share. She states that you must " keep going to places, especially clubs. Go to places that have open mic night, and different djs play. You can go to raves or parties..sometimes they will let local people play too, or you could do it broadcasting you music online..there's a lot of different things you can do!".

There are several female djs out there that are currently headliners. For example, Trust mentions who she thought is a good female dj : DJ Irene. " I think of DJ Irene because of all the years of experience that she's been doing it. Every time she does it, she really does capture a crowd. Her music always stays true to herself." Some individuals think that it takes a significant amount of time to become a dj, but for Trust, it was just a matter of going to a club and trying out. When asked how long did it take for her to have her first gig, she said that she " just went and did it...they were having it at a club ..they wanted different djs to spin...it took about a month. It really didn't take that long. "
