Learn from industry pros

You probably already realize this, but just to be clear: if you want to become a successful touring DJ, you won’t get the tools, skills or connections you need by sitting in a crowded classroom—and you certainly don’t need to saddle yourself with tons of student debt in the process. What you really need is to spend time in a real recording studio, learning from a working professional who does what you want to do for a living. You need to know how to conduct yourself in the music world, and you need real industry connections to help you take things to the next level. These are all things that you’ll be experiencing with the Recording Connection, because you’ll be working with real professionals as you learn on-the-job. Our mentors have worked with some of the biggest names in music—people like Skrillex, Lady Gaga, DJ Shadow and more—and these pros are standing by, eager to teach you their secrets!

Don’t simply be a student. Become an apprentice (extern) learning from a real working producer/DJ, for a fraction of what it would cost to be that student in a classroom. This is by far the best way to hone your skills and break into the industry as a touring DJ.
