Two choices

JAMES HYPE
James Hype — Two choices
In five years time you'll be that guy who's like, yeah, I could have been a big DJ but I never really got it going.

If you're a DJ who doesn't produce music, you're seriously limiting your growth. You've got two choices.

You can go online, teach yourself how to produce, be really shit at it for a few years, and then get to a point where you can actually do it.

Or you can do absolutely nothing — and in five years time you'll be that guy who's like, yeah, I could have been a big DJ but I never really got it going because I couldn't make music.

What this actually means

you either learn the second skill now while it's hard, or you never learn it and your career caps.

What to do today

Reading about it doesn't make you better. These do.
