DJ LESSON REVIEW FROM DJ STEVIE BEE β‘οΈ
"After meeting Nina at a su***de prevention charity event and finding out that she taught DJs, I knew I had to connect with her.
Crazily enough I bought myself a controller and speakers first, as the eBay price was right. Eventually our calendars aligned in October 2023 and I booked a 2 hour lesson with Nina.
The 2 hour lesson was very relaxed and Nina listened and answered all the questions I had. She guided me through the controller and taught me how to transition songs. This gave me a basic understanding and it left me wanting to learn more. Nina's advice was for me to watch other DJs and to practice whenever I could.
During the "watching DJs", I connected with another DJ who helped me tweak things a little by giving me the odd top tip.
I did my first live gig in November 2023 for a cancer charity and lived off the adrenaline and euphoria for well over a week.
This then led me on to doing a clandestine B2B with a DJ on .official radio on an irregular basis, which led to me getting my own 2 hour radio show once a week on .frequencies.radio which went live in March 2024.
Whist I have not done too many live gigs, an Apres Ski set in Italy, Escape Bar Worthing, Block Bar Worthing and Brighton and a guest show on 1BTN through Sessions, I am still building my name and connections.
I have just received the go ahead to do 4 gigs at the Big Beach Cafe, Hove Lagoon, which is jointly owned by Fat Boy Slim, over the summer of 2024.
This DJ journey is just starting for me and I know I still have a lot to learn, but it is with a heart felt thank you and a huge hug to Nina for helping me start this beautiful journey in this chapter of my life. I know my style of learning is better with having 1-2-1 lessons and Nina is brilliant in her style, aptitude and wealth of knowledge. Thank you so much for getting me started."
