A quick introduction

Hi There,

My name is Jacob and I am based in Bristol. I started DJing when I was only 12 years old. I started by providing kids discos for friends and family. Since then I concentrated on spending all of the money I earnt into new equipment and building a good reputation for my business. In 2015 I felt confident enough to officially establish my business, having almost 3 year experience providing discos and entertainment to friends and family. I created a website, decided on how much I was going to charge and started doing gigs around Bristol. Now I provide quality entertainment services for many types of functions including Kids Parties, Teen Discos, Birthdays, Seasonal Events, School Discos & Proms.

Aside from DJing I enjoy computers, I.T and lighting. I have a very good knowledge and experience with Windows, I.T Networking, Windows Server and Computer Hardware. Currently in 2018, I attend college and I am studying Level 3 Technical Theatre. I have just finished my 1st year (2 in total) and I received a Distinction. I am very confident with DMX, lighting fixtures and Several lighting consoles/software. I also have good knowledge of sound and A.V. I looking forward with meeting fellow DJs and Thanks for reading :)

I second that, best I've seen yet, reminds me a bit of Charlie Brown, out in front of the booth, joining in and encouraging the kids.

Hey Jacob,

You forget to mention how much you learned from watching and shadowing other local DJ's :D Especially at Family nights at Stockwood Community Centre.

I suspect you learned a lot about the things you shouldn't do too :zip:

Anyway, welcome - there's lots of people here who have a lot more experience and a lot more useful stuff to say than on certain Facebook groups.

Thanks! I always try to get the all kids involved and adults involved whenever possible. I've found that when they don't get involved, it's usually that they're just nervous and just need a confidence boost. When I interact with them they usually will join in. If that doesn't work then the magic word 'PRIZES' always gets them joining in ;)

Definitely would not of got where I am today without you guys. Thanks for your help and passing NSCA Family Night on to me :D From what I've seen so far MDD already looks like a more useful place than those certain Facebook groups, so I'm glad I came across it. :)

As a source of knowledge, Facebook leaves a lot to be desired. Full of folk with inflated egos, and closed minds.

Welcome, from someone else who started at 12 and is now 60, so there's a long career ahead if you choose it.
