Dj

Traditionally a ‘DJ’ refers to a disc jockey, a person who plays recorded music either using vinyl records or more recently compact discs for an audience. In reggae music the DJ is the person who raps, chats or toasts over the music. The person who actually changes the music is called the ‘selector’.

For the most part DJ’s are seen at Discos, nightclubs or heard on the radio. However they may be employed at more formal events and celebrations such as weddings, engagement parties and milestone birthday parties. The worlds first DJ was Ray Newby of Stockton, California in 1909 at the young age of just 16.

Blog sites about the term DJ usually bring up blogs referring to or selling tickets to specific musical events or regular nightclub spots. That DJ.com  offers a variety of sub categories for the searcher to browse and is well structured in its content.
