Continue with your education, and seek a local part-time DJ position while in school. With the degree, you may go a lot farther in the future...even in radio a degree can take you places. Just follow your gut. Good luck!

If he is a radio DJ, he naturally likes to talk. He could just be a very talkative guy and is just doing what he does best. Also, it's a big ego thing to have girls over you. He might just like the attention and keeps it going, possibly thinking that because he is a celelbrity and you are not- you might never actually meet or have to see eachother. Or, he might just like groupies. Be careful- he might have this big ego and    think of you as just another girl, so don't get too excited. \n\nAlthough, I could be wrong. Proceed with caution and don't get suckerd by easy flattery. In order to judge anyone you must see a person in context- how they behave in other situtations then just with you. He might possibly do this with everyone.\n\nAs an aside, I casually listen to my local talk radio station occasionally, and sometimes the DJ is very flattering and gracious with the callers, but this is part of their job. A person could mistakingly confuse this with interest, but that's not always the case.

what kind of help are you looking for..?\n\nEDIT: ok..you know what kind of music you want to do..that's a start...now go to where that kind of music is performed..hit the clubs..look up message boards..go to stores that cater to the dj and talk to people...make your own beats and record the songs for now so that you have something to show someone other than a scrap of paper with some words on it.....you are going to have to put some work into this...keep at it and you'll get it.....

Get a computer music mag, they normally have whole catalogues of DJ sounds on their free CD/DVD's

I'm in the same boat! Despite Mr. Wizard's comments, there are a lot of people who want that good, true school hip hop! There's def. a market for independent/underground hip-hop. I agree that myspace.com is a great resource for up and comers, the networking opps. are great! I you live in a big city, look into all of the local clubs/bars - a lot of them have 'open mic' nights. This is a way to get exposure and on-stage experience - which is critical because if you want to make it independently, a good live show can be your bread and butter! Also, get that demo in tip top shape and send it out to independent hip-hop labels. A few I can think of are halftooth records, seven heads, justus league.... Def. be prepared to work very hard and put a lot of time and effort into it, and love it too! If you don't love it what's the point?

Try and explain the your sister that it's the DJ's job to try and please the listeners.  The more people he can keep happy, the better his radio show will seem to them.  He knows absolutely nothing about your sister and I honestly think she is reading more into this than it really is.

I DJ, but not live. I make custom, timed mixes for parties.

I am 51 years old and I decided to go back to school and get a business degree in Entrepreneurship because I am older and feel that opportunities for us are limited.\n\nBut you can still work at hotels, and work up in higher positions.  I currently work at a hotel and plan on applying for jobs within the hotel after I get my degree, and the big plus is that they are paying for my education.\n\nValet jobs, drivers...school bus or city bus, parking meter readers, any city position.\n\nCasino's as dealers\nWaiters in banquets\n\nDon't give up...it is attitude more than anything.  Use your network of people that you know...they are a very good source of information.\n\nWhat type of work were you doing before?

You need to record a demo, then start getting them out to promoters...like myself :) You will start receiving constructive criticism on the areas you need to improve and also on the areas that you excel in.  Make the demos and either submit them to our site (souled out music) or other music related sites which include TAXI, SONICBIDS, PURE VOLUME...NEVER LET GO OF YOUR DREAM, JUST KEEP WORKING AT IT!

Try sending CDs to individual DJs.  BBC radio 6 is a great place to try.  \nAlso set a website with sample tracks - 30 second clips of 3 or 4 songs people can hear for free.\nPersistance will pay off EVENTUALY - keep trying again and again and again and again.\nDo lots of local gigs as eventually the right person may come andperforming live can be great fun if you get enough experience of doing it!\nKeep trying and good luck.

Well, in truth you either have to a) be very lucky or b) do sexual favours for a producer. Otherwise, you will never get there. There are millions of people with musical talent and most never get there. I am not saying to give up, but getting into music and achieving fame is one of the most difficult things to do.

for me, what I did was, and I graduated with music education, was I taught privately and created my own business. music is a good art, my suggestion is stay close to it as possible, there are others jobs associated with music look into that. if u need any suggestions e-mail me Klm4k8@umkc.edu

No, you should not try to live your dream.  You should just go ahead and LIVE YOUR DREAM!!!  For years I shyed away from my career in music because people told me, "You can't make any money in music."  Well, I got a job that I hated that provided a decent income, and I was entirely miserable.  It got to the point where I would rather have died than continue on at a place that was destroying the environment and my ear-drums.  Now God has provided a way for me to not only enjoy my work in music, but also to be able to help others and bring them pleasure at the same time.  LIVE YOUR DREAM!  TAKE YOUR FREEDOM!  Don't let them take your freedom away from you!\n\n"Find a job you love to do, and you'll never have to work a day in your life."  (A wise man said that.  Let's see if anyone knows who.)

no you are not to younge. jojo was what 13. but you do need to be on your toes and aware of what and who you are and what you want to do. the industry is crazy and can be deviouse and you do need to find a good agent and be open to critisism. and i suppose music college couldnt hurt.

Make a demo.  You won't get anywhere without anything recorded.  The industry is ridiculously tough to get into, so you have to work hard at it.  You have to promote the hell out of your music, and create a buzz.  Start small, then work your way up.  The major labels mostly look at smaller, indie labels for new talent now.  Start performing live at local venues.  You're not going to just walk into a major recording contract.
