Disc Jockey Jobs in New York, NY

A Disc Jockey (DJ) in the broadcasting industry is responsible for playing and mixing music, creating playlists, and interacting with the audience through various mediums like radio, TV, or internet platforms. DJs introduce and play music that is broadcast through AM, FM, digital or internet broadcasting. They may also comment on the music, weather, or news, and take and respond to music requests from listeners. Ideally, they should be knowledgeable about music genres and trends, have a pleasant and well-controlled voice, good timing, and excellent interpersonal skills.

Prior to becoming a Disc Jockey, one might work as a Radio Operator, Broadcast Technician, or an Audio Engineer. These roles provide a good foundation in understanding broadcasting equipment and the dynamics of live broadcasting. A degree in broadcasting, communications, or a related field is often required, and certification from a broadcasting school could be an advantage. Additionally, the ability to operate complex broadcasting equipment, a good sense of timing, a clear speaking voice, and the ability to think on one's feet are vital skills for a successful DJ.
