About the five steps

So this is kind of a big deal! Because these steps have been proven time and time again to help people like you to achieve true success and mastery as a DJ.

They work whatever type of DJ you are or want to be – party, club, event, wedding, radio, just for fun – and they work whether this is just a hobby for you, or a full-time career.

Yet without these five areas covered, you’ll struggle to pass “go”, watching other DJs getting success and wondering how the hell they do it!

So, you might well ask, how did I discover all of this?

Well, as a pro DJ and a club promoter for 15 years, I played thousands of DJ sets myself, including the main room at Privilege in Ibiza, the biggest club in the world – but also I booked hundreds of DJs.

One thing that always puzzled me, though, was why DJs I thought were awesome sometimes struggled, and why DJs I assumed would get nowhere suddenly smashed it out of the park!

As I saw my own career take off, I found myself feeling sad for people I knew, friends and friends of friends, who I felt deserved success too, but somehow they just didn’t get the breaks.

So later, when I set up Digital DJ Tips, I realised that working out why that was would be key if we were to succeed as a DJ school.

Through teaching thousands of students and picking back through my years working with so many DJs, piece by piece I figured out the five vital steps.

I was so excited, I wrote the book…

I was so excited, I spend six months locked away writing a book about it – a book that has gone on to help tens of thousands of DJs not only to understand these steps, but apply them to their own DJing.

Nowadays, “Rock The Dancefloor!” is an Amazon bestseller on DJing, I regularly speak about the steps at DJ conferences globally – and of course, Digital DJ Tips has grown to become the biggest DJ school in the world.
