Music & Sound Production

Hi Rashmi,
If you are passionate about music and love entertaining the crowd by playing and mixing music tracks, disk jockey could be a career option worth pursuing. Once considered as just a fad in India, it slowly staked its claim as a viable career with multiple options and good money to make. All you need is to have an ear for music, be well versed with cueing, equalization and audio-mixing, beat-matching, scratching and beat juggling.
A wannabe DJ must also have an outgoing personality, ability to mix with people and know their mood. He must be well versed with the music in vogue I. e. the hit songs, how to make them trendy by mixing them up etc. Depending on your credentials and experience, a stint at an event can earn a DJ anything between Rs 30,000 - Rs 70,000 per night.
There also several DJs who are employed full-time in the broadcast and hospitality industry. Salaries here vary between Rs 3 Lacs - Rs 8 Lacs per annum, depending on experience and popularity. Speaking about Electronic Music Production course, yes it is a also a good career option. Infact it is more extensive and elaborates course but the career opportunities are less. Also, very few institutes offer the course.
