Dubai DJ Academy Video 1

0:00 I'm recording, no swearing

Right, I'm recording, no swearing. Right, let's put that over there. Right, who are you? What's your name? My name is Candice. Candice, where are you from? I'm from the good old South of Africa. Okay, how long have you been living in Dubai? I've been living here for three and a half years. Okay, may I ask what's your employment at the moment? What do you do? I'm a computer nerd. Okay. Yeah, I'm an IT consultant. Yeah. Great. I do. You enjoy it? I do. I do. I mean, it's a good job. It's good to me. Yeah. I'm good at my job, but it's nowhere near as fun as all of us. All right. So explain to me, you know, why did you come to this course? What's the whole deal behind you IT consultant or you're there on the computer, you know, and all of a sudden you think, well, DJ, or maybe not all of a sudden. Explain why you're here. Okay. So, yeah, you get up.

You go to work, the alarm clock goes off, you go to work, come home. The weekends you spend your time, I spend my time out at the clubs with the people listening to music and that's really where all the passion is and that's just like I'm alive. And then the week comes and then I've got to go to work and it's just like for a whole week you're kind of like something's missing, something's missing. So yeah, this tiny little voice inside of me for many, many, many years just going, you know, just... You've only really had one day, haven't you? Because like yesterday, am I right in saying yesterday was the first day you ever started to touch here? I do not even know where the master volume was.

3:05 Oh, yeah, the million dollar question

That's the one thing I have figured out where the master volume is. Yeah, but you're doing fair dues for like one day. You're doing pretty good. Except when you've got the camera in my face because that makes me nervous. Yeah, exactly. No, it probably would anyone. But if there were other people or, you know, there will be other people out there. Well, hopefully there will be other people watching this who maybe have that little voice inside them. What would you say to them? Oh, don't ignore it. Don't ignore that voice because it's not going to go away. It doesn't go away.

Doesn't go away, it just gets worse. And the older you get, the more annoying it gets and it's just like, okay, I should have done this a long time ago. Okay, another question. It's very obvious you're passionate about music. Do you want to maybe take this passion just for your own personal use or do you want to take this passion because you have a want for working in a nightclub or working as a mobile lady DJ? Or are you going to take it where it takes you? Oh, yeah, the million dollar question. I need to go home and think about what I'm going to do next. Would you like to? Do you like the idea of having a crowd in front of you and just shaking your hand in the air? Okay, so for me, the idea of doing this as a career, making money out of it, that's whatever, doesn't concern me. The thing I love doing is I love loving music and I love...

6:04 Knowledge you have gained

The DJ Tutor, the DJ Tutor, the DJ Tutor. Potentially, I'm not saying especially for ladies, but for men, you know, it's like a chef. You like my analogies, don't you? Most chefs are blokes, aren't they? So really most DJs are blokes. So what would you say to ladies out there who've got that little voice inside them, who are very reluctant to maybe come into a male-dominated world because they feel that They're going to be thrown to one side of, you can't be a DJ. What would you say to them? That it ain't nothing without a woman. Okay. I'm not a singer, but yeah, no. What would you say? Yeah, that's like an old school mindset. Yes. Yeah. I agree. And I'm not allowed to swear, so it makes it difficult, but... Yeah. Get out there and do some shit. Yeah, just get out there. Times are changing. Okay. They're not going to change without us though. All right. Would you finish this video with practice and enjoy?
