Back in the day when I was DJ'ing at clubs in the late 90's early 00's, DJ's were getting paid $150-$200 for an hour set and you would have to hunt down the promoter all night so you could get your money.

"I dont know what I would do with all that money, probably just buy more hahaha I like your way of thinking, 10/10 would do the same, Deadmau5 has it all figured out, his home studio is amazing.

[dlyowvt]

personally i couldnt care less about what i got paid as long as i could travel the world playing music i love for likeminded people. soon.

[AirwaveMusic]

Been djing for 20 years now. If it were for the money I wouldn’t do it. It’s all about happiness. Who cares about money seriously. 😅

[cryrustt]

One thing I noticed... I am a DJ and I got payed on my second gig and I made 100 dollars. This may be a rare but I found because I have gear, lights and my own speakers. So I now charge 200-300 for about 2-5 hours to come to partys and venues like music events.. I open for artists in my city to hype up the crowd before they come out and I also get some events where I just DJ but I huge tip I would give to people starting out is invest what you make to create a brand/name for yourself

[andreumateulamas]

I want to see you playing carnaval music in a wedding.. Cammon man.. do it for the money... hahahahahahaha.

[wildcrowmusic]

The most expensive one is (or was) Calvin Harris, earning 350k-500k per gig (1h).
Garrix 1-2 years ago was around 150k, I don't know nowadays...
You would need to buy 5 more studios like the one you have to be able to have all the gear you would buy with that money 😂

[LUCASDBD]

deadmau5 is gonna get 1m $ for Ultra exclusive set bringing the new cube design 3.0 + on top of that he is doing a testpilot set (techno alias) also headliner of ultra.And he is doing that on beyond, edc, ultra and creamfields this year just to name a few.. so yeah

[MattVorn]

lol classic John "don't know what to do with it... probably just buy more gear" – NGL the first thing I'd do with a £250, 000 pay check is get an SSL Duality Delta console!

Dear Jon, could you please make a vid about:
1) the defenision of track, single and an album.
2) putting your song/mix etc online, like different platforms. What is the best platforms, because I read that some platforns get the copyright when you upload your 'art' on their platform.
3) how do the radio stations get your song and is it true that you don't earn money from it?
4) could you share your experience about collabs, like: how do you approach the artists and how does the copyright work in this case?

I hope you can make a vid about these subjects, because you have a lot experience.

I hope we can collab in the future. Fly out

[DJStrling]

i love your honesty (especially about not liking to play Weddings)

[emiel]

I’m thinking about to DJ again. My last (paid) gig is over 10 years ago... I’m more comfortable in the studio making music, playing instruments and working on sound design. I know it earns me less money but that’s not my goal. I do what I like and even my main genre is quite niche at the moment (mainly Trance) But nevertheless I like it to DJ once in a while so I’m considering to buy myself a capable DJ set to get in to it (again)

[filipradisic]

I work for 25€ per night guys here in belgrade, although it ain't hard mixing our songs 😕

[MattVorn]

If it wasn't for ghost/co-production, I can guarantee your favourite tracks and DJs wouldn't exist.

[SimonBay]

A friend of mine is getting married and he hired a dj that is charging 1500€ for the wedding.

[eufria]

Schlager... and that kind of shit🤣. I totalt feel you man!

[champagnepaskal]

Calvin Harris 750k+
Tiesto 500k+
Martin Garrix is easy @ 400k+
Skrillex and Diplo are high 2
Afrojack is @ 100k (got no ghost producer)
Hardwell is on 150k+ (got no ghost producer 2)
Drake @ XS Vegas 10 Shows 10 Mil 👀

[felixbernecker]

My respect for him when he said that he hates schlager 📈📈📈😂

[huwwackman]
