dj symptoms owns your soul.Band/artist history
My parents made me take a reading course in eigth grade at Sylvan Learning Center because my dumb ass couldn't read. They said if I tried hard, they'd buy me a set of turntables. I tried, and they bought me turntables. They were mad shaky, $100 Gemini turntables, thrown together with a $30 mixer in to a "Starter Kit" for like $250. How that is a deal, is beyond me. They were belt-driven and had shitty generic cartridges, which made them impossible to scratch on. Somehow I pulled it off, and even DJ'd dances and such at local schools. Before any of this, I had been using the computer to manipulate sounds and make beats. Once I got turntables I felt like a real DJ. This gave me the motivation to actually put some money and effort into it, and get established. I have a decent selection of beats now, with more on the way.Have you performed in front of an audience?Whenever the opportunity presents itself. Basically, it has to be worth it. It's a hassle to pack up my turntables and move around doing little shows. So in order for me to put in the effort, there has to be some incentive.
