As a beginner to this craft i feel that in order for me to even get gigs my price needs to be slightly lower i've read many of the post and i to agree $100 and $150 is to cheap for parties i myself wont do one for that cheap, as a beginner ppl even insult me with prices a oganization told me they didnt want me b/c they found someone for free i laughed and said they MUST not be a REAL DJ if they're doing it for FREE!!!!!!!!!
