    The Final Countdown to Level Up Live

    SUPPORT THE PODCAST and level up your DJ career. Join our Patreon for exclusive business insights and strategies. http://patreon.com/MobileDJMastery In this episode, DJ2FOUR7,is gearing up for the biggest event in our community’s history: Level Up Live. With only days to go, we take you behind the curtain to discuss the Surprise and Delight moments planned for attendees, including a full JBL speaker shootout and exclusive networking sessions.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The "5 Questions" Rule: Every attendee should arrive with five specific business challenges or questions. Level Up Live is designed for proactive learning, not just passive listening. Sell the Sizzle, Not the Steak: Focusing solely on the "equipment"is a mistake. To command higher prices, you must sell the "sizzle": the atmosphere, the emotion, and the professional experience. Sustainable Business Growth: Raising prices isn't about greed; it’s about having the capital to reinvest in your business, equipment, and personal well-being to ensure long-term sustainability. Community Over Competition: The event features DJs from all over the UK. By sharing knowledge with peers outside your local area, you foster a supportive network that benefits the entire industry. Surprise and Delight: Inspired by the "extra chips at the bottom of the McDonald's bag," the event aims to over-deliver on value, teaching DJs how to apply this same principle to wow their own clients. BEST MOMENTS "You cannot grow a flower in a dark room. You grow a flower where there's sunlight and water, and that’s what we’re about—putting sunlight and water on our people so we can grow." "It’s not about egos; it’s about business. And business works with numbers." "The real magic happens in the meetups... it's the real-time human connection that I believe makes real change." "Charge more, but offer a better service. Improve your business so it's better for you, but most importantly, for your clients." "Leave the egos at your house. If you've got one, leave it in the car. Come with your open mind and open heart, ready to listen and ready to learn."

    From £500 to £2,000: Transforming Your DJ Business with Scott Duran

    In this episode, DJ2FOUR7 welcomes Scott Duran to dive deep into the often controversial topic of pricing within the DJ industry. They explore the current pricing landscape for mobile DJs in the UK, advocating a shift towards higher standards and rates, specifically targeting £2,000 for evening wedding DJ services.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Pricing Standards: The discussion emphasizes the need for DJs to raise their pricing standards, aiming to charge around £2,000 for an evening wedding DJ service. Branding and Investment: A strong brand presence is crucial for DJs aiming to charge higher rates. Investing in professional branding, including logos and websites High-Quality Social Media Presence: Consistent and high-quality social media content is vital. DJs should focus on producing glossy, engaging visuals that showcase their energy and style, Client Management Systems: Utilizing a high-end client relationship management (CRM) system can enhance the client experience. Features like digital contracts and easy payment options can streamline the booking process and make it more appealing for clients. Understanding Client Priorities: DJs should recognize that clients prioritize different aspects of their wedding. By understanding what is most important to the couple—whether it's food, music, or venue—they can better position their services and pricing to meet client expectations. BEST MOMENTS "For a party or a wedding in the UK, you can expect to pay a mobile DJ anywhere from 250 to 700 pounds." "As an industry, we should be working towards a price of two thousand pounds for an evening wedding DJ service." "If you can't do something yourself to a very, very high standard, invest in it." "When you go to a plumber's website or something that's not really that exciting, some DJs have a plumber-type website." "If you're going to be that level of DJ, you need to be able to offer easy ways to pay."  OUR SOCIAL LINKS https://dj2four7.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dj2four7/ https://www.instagram.com/mobiledjmastery/ https://www.tiktok.com/@2four7dj HOST BIO With over 20 years in the entertainment industry, DJ 2FOUR7 brings a wealth of experience to this podcast.

They dive deep into Jules' inspiring journey from a music enthusiast to a DJ, discussing her introduction to house music, the pivotal moment that led her to start DJing, and the supportive community she found on TikTok.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Community and Support: Engaging with the DJ community on platforms like TikTok can provide valuable support and encouragement, especially for beginners. Many experienced DJs are willing to help newcomers, fostering a positive learning environment. Importance of Education: Taking structured courses, such as those offered by Crossfader, can significantly enhance a DJ's skills. These courses break down complex concepts into manageable lessons, making it easier for beginners to learn and progress. Overcoming Limiting Beliefs: The journey into DJing can challenge societal norms and personal limiting beliefs about age and capability. Embracing the opportunity to learn and grow, regardless of when one starts, can lead to fulfilling experiences. First Gig Experience: The first live performance can be a pivotal moment for a DJ, igniting a passion for the craft. The excitement of playing music for an audience and the connection with them can solidify the desire to pursue DJing further. Navigating Challenges: Technical issues and personal confidence can pose challenges for new DJs. However, learning to manage these obstacles is part of the growth process, and each experience contributes to becoming a more skilled and confident performer. BEST MOMENTS "I think what Jaz has achieved in the last three years from starting to DJ to where she is now is a journey." "I was always the person at the parties going, have you heard of this track?" "I think a lot of people my age are going to resonate with some of this." Vick "I realized by then it was mid to late nineties and I'd missed the Summer of Love, Acid House movement." "I just feel like you were born to be a DJ."  OUR SOCIAL LINKS https://dj2four7.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dj2four7/ https://www.instagram.com/mobiledjmastery/ https://www.tiktok.com/@2four7dj HOST BIO With over 20 years in the entertainment industry, DJ 2FOUR7 brings a wealth of experience to this podcast.

The conversation dives into Robin's musical journey, starting from her childhood karaoke sessions with her mother to her rise as a sought-after performer. Robin shares her unique approach to music, emphasizing her self-taught skills and the importance of following one's instincts. KEY TAKEAWAYS Origin of Musical Passion: The guest's love of music began at a young age, inspired by her mother's karaoke sessions, which led her to perform and create dance routines with her sister. Self-Taught Skills: Despite never studying music formally, the guest has developed her singing and saxophone skills through practice and personal exploration, emphasizing the importance of feeling and creativity over theoretical knowledge. Impact of Social Media: The guest experienced significant growth in her following and bookings through social media, particularly Instagram, highlighting it as a powerful tool for exposure and connection in the music industry. Unique Personal Branding: The guest emphasizes the importance of having a distinct style and presence, which helps her stand out in a crowded market. She transitioned from wearing a saxophonist hat to a halo crown to establish a unique identity. Collaboration with DJs: Working with DJs can enhance live performances through energy exchange and cooperation, but the guest also points out common pitfalls, such as poor communication and a lack of professionalism. BEST MOMENTS  "Robin Taylor is a wicked double threat. Not only is she amazing on vocals, and her voice is something different, but she's also a sax player." "I think the best musicians don't know all of the rules... Music comes from inside. Do you know what I mean?" "I was like, I just want to be sitting there one day in the living room and just be like... And it fizzled." "Instagram is literally like, it's just the best free advertising. It reaches everyone you need it to." "I always tell people, when it comes to you and your style, be bold and stick to it."  CHECK OUT ROBYN TAYLOR ON INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/robyntaylorofficial/ OUR SOCIAL LINKS https://dj2four7.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dj2four7/ https://www.instagram.com/mobiledjmastery/ https://www.tiktok.com/@2four7dj https://www.skool.com/mobile-dj-mastery-5105/about?ref=564d494d5288499dbe1b44afd5c3f503 HOST BIO With over 20 years in the entertainment industry, DJ 2FOUR7 brings a wealth of experience to this podcast.

    Cracking the Social Media Code: Hooks, Viral Hacks, and DJ Branding With Dan Ross

    SUPPORT THE PODCAST and level up your DJ career. Join our Patreon for exclusive business insights and strategies. http://patreon.com/MobileDJMastery HAVE YOUR SAY and join our waiting list for the built to better your business https://mobiledjmastery.com/levelup/ In this high-energy episode, DJ2FOUR7 is joined by Dan Ross, a mobile DJ and software innovator, to discuss the intersection of personal branding, social media strategy, and business efficiency. Dan shares his recent journey of building a personal brand from scratch, revealing the psychological and technical "hooks" that allowed him to gain thousands of followers in just 25 days.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The Power of the New Page: Starting a fresh social media page can actually be more effective than using an old one, as it prevents disinterested friends and family from "poisoning" your initial engagement metrics with the algorithm. The Three Pillars of a Hook: To capture a viewer on TikTok or Instagram Reels, you need three elements in the first second: a strong text hook, a viral movement, and engaging speech. Ditch the Corporate Identity: People on social media want to connect with a person, not a company. Using a clear headshot and a personal name can significantly increase engagement compared to a generic business logo. Unified Business Management: Many DJs lose money and time by juggling multiple expensive, disconnected platforms for sales and music planning. Consolidating these into one DJ-specific system increases professionalism and workflow. The "I/Me" Test for Websites: A common marketing mistake is making website copy all about yourself. By auditing your site to ensure you aren't overusing "I" and "Me," you shift the focus to how you fit into the client's dream event. BEST MOMENTS "Social media is a beast... if you give me food (content), I will produce you eyes. If you stop, I’ll give you back to crumbs again." "You don't want to sell the steak; the steak is what you do. You want to sell the sizzle... sizzle sells more than the steak." "I'm so open to taking anything that any other club has done and maybe we completely rip it off and just put a Saints badge on it. Steal with pride." "If it didn't get enough views, guess what? Nobody saw. So there's no harm in trying again tomorrow." "CRM is actually the wrong term for what Planning Beats is... this is a bit of an event planning place."

    SUPPORT THE PODCAST and level up your DJ career. Join our Patreon for exclusive business insights and strategies. http://patreon.com/MobileDJMastery HAVE YOUR SAY and join our waiting list for the built to better your business https://mobiledjmastery.com/levelup/ In this episode, DJ2FOUR7 sits down with DJCEEB, a DJ, producer, and entrepreneur whose journey defines the term "relentless drive". DJCEEB provides a deep dive into the technical side of the craft, sharing his specialized systems for organizing Serato music libraries through automation and the specific Serato DJ Pro features that can transform a standard set into a professional performance. KEY TAKEAWAYS The Power of Focused Practice: CeeB's journey began with a tiny Hercules controller and hours of practice after college, proving that gear matters far less than persistence. The High-Value Low-Pressure Gig: One of CeeB’s best strategies for beginners was starting in local gyms. It allowed him to play in front of people for hours without the pressure of a dance floor, building the confidence needed for clubs. Strategic Networking: CeeB didn't wait for agencies to find him. He used Google Maps to identify every bar and club in his radius and sent personalized Facebook messages to every manager. Workflow and OCD: For CeeB, consistency is king. He maintains a specific "OCD" ritual for his setup—including setting every EQ knob to 12 o'clock—to eliminate nerves and create a predictable performance environment. The 5 AM Advantage: To balance a day job, a DJ career, and content creation, CeeB utilizes the "quiet hours" of 5:00 AM to 9:00 AM to work on his business without distraction. BEST MOMENTS "If you’re a DJ and you haven’t seen this guy's content... you’re not a DJ."  "I had to buy an expensive-ish controller to make sure I went ahead with it. I had to invest to make sure I stuck at it."  "When I’m in that zone, it’s like I’m in the booth on my own and there is no one else in the room."  "Most DJs are introverts. We’re people that like to sit at home, chill, and play music... then next thing you know, we're in front of thousands of people."  "No one cares what you look like on stage... they care about the music. No one is saying 'I liked his set, but I didn't like his voice.'"  TO CONNECT WITH DJCEEB https://www.instagram.com/djcee_b/ OUR SOCIAL LINKS https://dj2four7.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dj2four7/ https://www.instagram.com/mobiledjmastery/ https://www.tiktok.com/@2four7dj https://www.skool.com/mobile-dj-mastery-5105/about?ref=564d494d5288499dbe1b44afd5c3f503 HOST BIO With over 20 years in the entertainment industry, DJ 2FOUR7 brings a wealth of experience to this podcast.

    Unlocking DJ Success: Strategies for Building Your Brand and Boosting Social Media Presence in 2026

    SUPPORT THE PODCAST and level up your DJ career. Join our Patreon for exclusive business insights and strategies. http://patreon.com/MobileDJMastery HAVE YOUR SAY and join our waiting list for the built to better your business https://mobiledjmastery.com/levelup/ In this episode, DJ 2FOUR7 reflect on key insights and highlights from the previous year, setting the stage for a successful 2026. DJ2FOUR7 emphasises the importance of social media for DJs, sharing personal anecdotes about overcoming anxiety and the challenges of creating content. The episode also touches on the significance of charging appropriately for services, investing in professional help, and the benefits of day hosting to enhance business offerings. KEY TAKEAWAYS Embrace Social Media: Utilising social media is crucial for DJs to build their brand and connect with potential clients. It's important to find ways to create content that feels natural. Overcoming Anxiety: Many DJs experience anxiety when it comes to filming themselves or sharing content. It's essential to recognise that most people are focused on their own lives and are not as concerned about what you post. Setting Realistic Goals: Instead of overwhelming yourself with the need to post frequently, aim for gradual improvement. For example, if you posted three times a month last year, aim for six this year. Charge Accordingly: DJs should evaluate their pricing structures and ensure they are charging what their services are worth. Understanding the costs associated with equipment and services can help justify higher rates and improve business sustainability. Invest in Your Business: As DJs grow, it's important to invest in professional services, such as website design and branding, rather than relying solely on DIY methods.  BEST MOMENTS "Social media is how I've built who and what I am today." "Forget what you think other people may think of you, because people don't really care as much as you think they care." "Stop doing DIY. The biggest changes I've made to my business have come from investing money into others to do something properly." "If you're not on social media, you're going to be left behind. It's as simple as that." "Never be afraid to charge a bit more... always push that boundary."  OUR SOCIAL LINKS https://dj2four7.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dj2four7/ https://www.instagram.com/mobiledjmastery/ https://www.tiktok.com/@2four7dj https://www.skool.com/mobile-dj-mastery-5105/about?ref=564d494d5288499dbe1b44afd5c3f503 HOST BIO With over 20 years in the entertainment industry, DJ 2FOUR7 brings a wealth of experience to this podcast.

DJ2FOUR7 unveils a major evolution for the brand: the launch of the School Academy, an official online community designed to provide structured education and direct support for DJs worldwide. DJ2FOUR7 discusses his mission to change the industry by moving away from the "solo" mindset and toward a collaborative, supportive environment. KEY TAKEAWAYS Introduction of the School Academy: A new online platform where DJs can access free community discussions, structured classrooms, and paid subscribers can receive specialised "homework" and sessions to refine their craft. Level Up Live Event: Final details on the upcoming live event featuring industry legends like Lords DJ, DJ CB, and Tony Roberts, where attendees are encouraged to bring their top business questions for direct feedback. Return on Investment (ROI) Focus: 2-4 guarantees that anyone who completes their tailored mentoring courses will see a 5x return on their investment within three months. Shifting Industry Culture: A core goal for the next year is to reduce the "ego" often found in the club scene and foster a "joined-up" community among mobile DJs where advice and wins are shared freely. Personal Growth & Strategy: The episode emphasises that success in DJing is 80% business management (cash flow, taxes, client management) and only 20% performance. BEST MOMENTS "I’m making a space where it doesn't have to be like that... I believe in change; I believe change is possible." "If you take any one of my courses... as long as you complete, you will make five times whatever it is that you have paid." "My number one goal is to level up the whole industry. I want to see less negativity from some of the older DJs and see the younger DJs networking." "Success as a mobile DJ is 80% running and managing your business... the things we don't talk about when it comes to DJing." "Next year, we are going to change the game for you and for everyone else that’s listening."
