I've been doing this for about 3 years, and I've always heard people say that DJing really helped them. Unfortunately I followed my parents advice and took a hard major in college, kept my nose to the books, etc. Etc. Basically ignored the local music scene while I was in school, mainly for depression/ self-esteem type reasons rather than lack of interest.
I feel like my production is coming along to where I could maybe start performing it in a year or two or sooner even, but I have absolutely zero experience performing anything on stage. I feel like maybe I still have time to get some dj experience in, and I've even bought a controller and learned to beatmatch house tracks without "cheating" but where the heck do I go from here? Also I'm 27, I don't care about trying to be the next Skrillex or whatever here but I worry that maybe I'm still too old?
Has anyone here started DJing relatively late in life? How did you do it? or started doing producer sets with no other experience? If there's no advice I'll settle for generic encouragement, or tell me that I'm destined to fail, you know, whatever's cool. Thanks!
