So please don't get offended when you come 2 the DJ Booth and I say "hold on for a sec" ...I'M WORKING HERE!! lol!! But seriously ....I have no problem taking "suggestions" but remember, is a night club, NOT the radio station! So there are no need for "requests". There is a reason why the venue/promoters have hired me for their event. Think about it, If they wanted to hear your playlist, they would of hired YOU! LMAO!! But on the real, be patient, its likely "your song" will be played soon
Again, I am working, so for every moment you are standing there, meddling (while bumping into me or almost wasting your beverage on my equipment), trying to think of the title of the song you want, I am missing out on paying attention to the entire crowd and what everyone else is doing. In the process, chances are I am going 2 miss my transition 2 the next track while waiting on you.
People always look at Dj's and say "oh thats easy" or "I could do that", 8 of 10 couldn't do it, the other 1 would give up trying. Mixing is an art, and a lot of times the masterpiece can be ruined by one person.
Maybe your reading this saying, " why cant he be nice?" or "why is he such a jerk?" Allow me 2 address those individuals.
I'm paid 2 entertain the MASSES with my musical selection, not to appease one person at a time. Feel free to hire me, and I will play whatever you want! Put your money where your mouth is! "Gotta Pay The Cost 2 Be The Boss!!"
I retort ...There is a reason why the venue/promoters have hired me for their event. Think about it, If they wanted to hear your playlist, they would of hired you...
[BTW..The Ro Parrish official disclaimer: 'People always say "keep it real" or "be honest" ..then those same people get mad when you tell them the truth and they can't handle or don't like it...really think about that.. be careful what you ask for!! lol']
