a halloween party at a college in jersey, supposably 2-3 hundred people are gonna be there. my boy and his band are rocking a set and are giving me 10 minutes to do my thing while they change up. Any advice from anyone?

i plan on doing a joint or two and ending it doing my live beat thing. in my head i gotta use my high energy shyt, slow shyt i feel dont work in the live context. just any advice from anyone? :birdman:

hit up the open mics fist to build your confidence on stage...i wouldnt suggest to kick off your live career in front of a regular crowd.

Thanks for the support guys,

My shyt is mostly medium tempo stuff, think what 40 does for drake 1st example. In my head. With that said I got one slower tempo joint with a mean hook I think ima use, and some bring da pain type shyt to start off. I gotta really look into the archives today.

And yea carr that's prolly a smart idea but I prolly won't be doing it. I never had a problem in front of small crowds, nuthin a lil drank couldn't fix I think lol. Embrace the moment type shyt, hopefully someone don't throw a cup at me or ima be on youtube fighting frat boys

im a dj, i did my first shyt in front of a regular crowd.

all i can say is just be yourself. some people get jitters, some dont. just be yourself and be calm. if you overthink it, youre done.

It's easier to be a DJ than an artist and make a live debut. I wouldn't suggest waiting till the last minute to find out if you have jitters or not, roll with the open mics first to build that mojo/stage swag up...at least not the empty ones. At the end of the day you want to make this count and leave a lasting impression on someones mind (thats if you take this music thing as serious as me), therefore you want to make it count. Practice makes perfect. Here is myself at the longest running open mic in Miami, The Pipeline.



Playing the public is a different monster than open mics, just make sure ur on your A game.

Although I haven't had a show since 2004 (yes, I've been in the game for years) all I can say is really to go out there and have fun. Confidence and energy is enough to have a successful show in my experience. Don't try to think too much about it, I know it's tough though.

I probably wouldn't be able to perform live anymore just because of this overthinking that has gotten to me the last couple of years. Being younger was so much easier, lol..

Good luck, you'll do well.
