Workflow

Build a DJ Identity

What do I need before I ask for a booking?

A promoter needs to hear you, see you and reach you in under a minute. That is the whole brief.

The path

  1. Name
  2. Handles
  3. Artwork system
  4. Mixes
  5. EPK

Step by step

How to run it

  1. Lock a searchable name

    Check it is free on every platform and as a domain before you print anything.

  2. Claim the handles at once

    Same handle everywhere, even on platforms you will not use yet.

  3. Build one artwork template

    Fixed type, fixed grid, changing image and number.

  4. Publish three mixes

    One is a fluke, three is a body of work.

  5. Write a two-paragraph EPK

    Who you are, what you play, where you have played, one photo, one link.
