My name is Billy B and I am a DJ. I play in various clubs. I have a very organized manager, and she finds a lot of work for me. I play about fifteen nights a month, and five of those are usually abroad. This month Ive been to Amsterdam and London. The best part of my job is knowing a lot of creative people but sometimes people annoy me because they say that DJ is an easy job. But its very competitive, and you have to be reliable. I know that Im lucky and I learn a lot of money, but I work hard. If you want to be a DJ listen to the experts on the radio and at clubs. Make a demo tape of your best mixes and send it to some clubs and radio stations. Try to get a job with a small radio station, buy some equipment and start organizing your own gigs. Gig=public
