Student DJs
DJs are all Music Business, Performance + Technology students obtaining Audio Engineering or Digital Composition degrees.
These students aspire to be recording engineers, composers, sound designers and performers.
For some of these students this will be their first time to perform in front of a live audience, so we are extremely excited for them to gain this experience as they move forward in their music careers.
