Today, a “VJ” is a Video Jockey, but not like the ones you used to see on MTV and VH1. They are a hybrid between a mobile DJ and a performance artist who plays music and creates moving visual art from video on large screens, often at events such as concerts, nightclubs and music festivals.
With media files being easier to handle and manipulate and share across the board, it was only a matter of time before mobile DJ’s added visuals to the act, i.e. music videos and the like.
Hitting most of the major cities’ club life, we are now seeing a trend for DJs to move into the video world. There is now a growing need to add some kind of visual for every audio track played. This mindset is spreading like wildfire.
What some VJs are doing now are playing all music video format for dancing, with inserted video backdrops for tracks that people want to hear that do not have a music video available.
Following the trends being set by others, I now offer the same packages to my customers! Word up!
