Disc Jockey $81.25 A disc jockey (also known as disk jockey, DJ or deejay) is a person who selects and plays recorded music for an audience. Originally, disk referred to phonograph records, while disc referred to the Compact Disc, and has become the more common spelling. Today, the term includes all forms of music playback, no matter the source. There are several types of disc jockeys. Radio DJs introduce and play music that is broadcast on AM, FM, shortwave, digital, or internet radio stations. Club DJs select and play music in bars, nightclubs, discothques, at raves, or even in a stadium. Hip hop disc jockeys select and play music using multiple turntables, often to back up one or more MCs, and they may also do turntable scratching to create percussive sounds. In reggae, the disc jockey (deejay) is a vocalist who raps, toasts, or chats over prerecorded rhythm tracks while the individual choosing and playing them is referred to as a selector. Mobile disc jockeys travel with portable sound systems and play recorded music at a variety of events.

Radio Jockey $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A radio jockey (or RJ) is a person who hosts a radio talk show where the RJ selects the music to be played, or topic of discussion, by interacting with the audience; the interaction is often via telephone, but may also be online, or via email. Etymologically, the term is derived from disc jockey, a term used to describe a person who plays music in discotheques. However, it is still uncertain when it first became popular. Its origin shows a regional bias as, although quite generic in description, it is used specifically in India. Today, radio jockeying is considered to be a hot profession, and some radio jockeys have become household names, such as Ameen Sayani, Shamshir, Karan, Hardeep Chandpuri, Anil Srivatsa and Nitin. Radio jockeys may start working for fixed salaries, but their paypackages can skyrocket after a few years in the business. Many go on to become voiceover artists and lend their voices to commercials, dubbed movies and even animated shows. Some radio jockeys go to other countries and host what are called desi shows, which have Indian influences. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

The Pros and Cons of Becoming a Disc Jockey
Want to be a disc jockey? Learn a few details about the life of a disc jockey before you try your luck in this field. This article will give you a glimpse into the actual job of disc jockeys. Their lives may seem to be full of fun but they also need to work very hard. If you really love music and want to be surrounded with music all your life, you may fare well in this job, but even then you may have to make many tough choices.
For one, the money may not be that great in the beginning. Since, this is such a niche profession, there are certain known names in this field that are requested for time and again. Thus, to make your own mark, you have to be creative and different. Disc Jockeys can play for clubs or for radio stations.
Disc Jockeys not only need to be aware of music software to carry out music mixing but also must be able to interest the audience with their small talk. This is particularly true for radio disc jockeys. They have to be able to hold the listener’s interest by interspersing good music with smart one-liners or other interesting programs. They have to not only carry out music recording but also be good talkers.
The specialty of disc jockeys in night club is that they must be able to download music that is trendy and then present in a way that gets the crowd grooving. They need to play the latest and most happening music and do it in a way that is sensitive to the dancers’ requirements. The job is certainly not an easy one as most disc jockeys have to work very late hours and may have to face a lot of isolation due to the nature of their job. Moreover, there is not a very huge market in small towns and to be successful; they have to move to urban areas for more options.
The job of disc jockeys is often considered to be very lonely. They have to be all by themselves, mixing music in small sound proof rooms. When working for radio stations, radio jockeys may not only have to be involved in music but also in keeping the listener’s interest alive by interviewing the public and hosting other talk shows. They have to be very highly in tune to the latest issues to be able to chat while playing music. They have to keep track of the time and co ordinate music, talk show, requests and commercial breaks. They have to be well prepared with spicy and interesting tidbits and organize the whole program.
Moreover, disc jockeys needs to be able to work with all the recording software and even learn something about studio equipment. They have to adjust sound and music and have erratic working hours. Since the radio stations are on air 24 hours in a day, the radio jockeys need to be called anytime of the day and must be always prepared. They must have good speaking voices and good grasp of the language in which they broadcast.
So choose this profession only if your passion for music is strong enough to overcome all odds that you may have to face as a disc jockey.
