Words for upcoming and aspiring DJ's out there?
Ok, like me I dropped out of school just to keep up with this and after all, the little funds I made, I gathered it up to get my 1st laptop then, and immediately got myself through school and also with help from others. So they stick to their passion because that is what might be their profession later in life.
