There are lots of DJ's here working all the time. In fact, my young son and i have a sound company/DJ operation that concentrates on sound system rentals and DJ work for outside car shows. I only participate by buying equipment and donating the big old stuff I no longer use.
I don't see any competition from DJ's because of the difference in the venues. Mine are upscale restaurants, government agencies, corporate events (an occasional DJ is hired)and horse farm galas.
But, Lexington, Kentucky is a unique market where, lots of times, WHO you know is way more important than how good you are.
Thank goodness for that!
