About me examples for DJs

An About me page is read by someone judging a person rather than a company, which is why it is first person even when the business is not.

Ten of them follow, written for DJs rather than filled in from a template. Your customer is someone whose event will be remembered mostly for how the room felt, and what they are weighing up before they get in touch is booking someone who will play the wrong room and will not read a crowd.


Plain and short

I am [first name], a DJ in [your town]. I play weddings, club nights and corporate events. Tell me the date, the venue and the crowd, and I will send a mix that fits it.

Use this as the default on a personal site or portfolio.

What I am known for

I am a DJ, and the part of the work I care most about is reading a room rather than playing a prepared set at it. I am insured and equipped, and my clients are mostly someone whose event will be remembered mostly for how the room felt.

Use this when one specific standard is the reason people come to you.

How I got here

I came to this work from [where you came from]. [Number] years later the thing that still holds my attention is reading a room rather than playing a prepared set at it. I am insured and equipped.

Use this if the route in is genuinely interesting. Skip it if it is not.

What I am working on now

Right now I am mostly doing weddings, for someone whose event will be remembered mostly for how the room felt. I am insured and equipped. If you want to talk about club nights, tell me the date, the venue and the crowd, and I will send a mix that fits it.

Use this on a site you update. It dates fast, which is the point.

One human detail

I am [first name] — a DJ in [your town], insured and equipped. [One true, small detail: a sport, a rescue dog, the town you grew up in]. Mostly I do weddings and club nights.

Use this where people hire the person. One detail, not a life story.

Names the reader

If you are someone whose event will be remembered mostly for how the room felt, you are in the right place. I am [first name], a DJ, and what I do about booking someone who will play the wrong room and will not read a crowd is the reason most people stay on this page.

Use this when the right visitor should recognise themselves immediately.

Credentials, stated once

I am insured and equipped. Own rig, backup equipment, public liability insurance, and a set history you can listen to. Beyond the paperwork: I work on weddings, club nights and corporate events, and you hear a mix made for your room before you book.

Use this where the licence matters and you do not want to lead with it twice.

The specialist

I do one thing: weddings. I could do the rest of the list, and for years I did. I am insured and equipped. If that is what you need, tell me the date, the venue and the crowd, and I will send a mix that fits it.

Use this if you have deliberately narrowed. It reads as confidence.

Under forty words

DJ in [your town], insured and equipped. Weddings and club nights. Check your date.

Use this where the form gives you a box and no more.

The quiet one

I am [first name]. I have been a DJ for [number] years, working for someone whose event will be remembered mostly for how the room felt. I am insured and equipped. If it would help to talk, tell me the date, the venue and the crowd, and I will send a mix that fits it — there is no obligation in it.

Use this in a field where selling yourself hard would be a mark against you.

Writing for DJs: what actually matters

What should a DJ’s website say that a generic one does not?

Three things, in this order. That you are insured and equipped. That you understand the thing people are actually worried about, which for DJs is booking someone who will play the wrong room and will not read a crowd. And what happens next: tell me the date, the venue and the crowd, and I will send a mix that fits it. Everything else on the page is decoration by comparison.

What does someone whose event will be remembered mostly for how the room felt check first?

The credential, then the proof. For DJs it sounds like this. I bring backup equipment to every booking. I take a do-not-play list as seriously as a request list. I carry public liability insurance. Put at least one of those above the fold rather than on a separate page nobody opens.

What is the most common mistake on a DJ’s website?

Writing about the business instead of the customer. "We have been established since 1998" answers a question nobody asked. "Tell me the date, the venue and the crowd, and I will send a mix that fits it" answers the one they are actually holding. If you only fix one thing, fix that.

How long should the copy be?

Shorter than you think, except where trust is being built. An About page of 120 well-chosen words beats 500 vague ones. The exception is anything explaining booking someone who will play the wrong room and will not read a crowd — there, specifics earn their length.
