cody becoming barbie, first a real estate agent now a dj
I love how Cody just puts himself out there to learn something new and just forces himself into it lmaooo
when will youtube start caring about these bots 😐 i can’t even focus on cody’s frictionless business endeavors
When did he do real estate?
Cool to see Cody trying something new not just with hid RUclips channel
cody sins
Dude, you should definitely do another one where you practice the clarinet for 7 hours and then perform in front of a live audience!
😭🤣
AGREED!!!!
Dressed up as Squidward
a flute / recorder is better
He could do a beatbox / clarinet live show, that would be sick
Super dope video, tbh I first thought it was going to be a piss-take, but I liked it. You’re not incorrect, as technically mixing almost any kind of 4/4 music is pretty easy on the ‘one track to another’ level. Beat-matching tracks to DJing is like pedaling a to bicycle-riding ie. the most basic skill that will need to become automatic to *start* the activity. Outside the existing (or not) fan base and promo skills & means and getting booked there’s A TON that goes into it, like knowing your music and planning your set, reading your crowds. If you’re not an influencer with a following already, but a producer -DJ, then the music you play matters even more, as at least part of the crowd will expect your own music and your own exclusive edits etc which’ll make your specific set stand out musically from others. (But I’m sure Mr. Francis told you about all the above and more 😊)
👊🏻
sup dude
Dammit man the perfect comment from Darude would have just been "what song did you play at 14:25"
@@IshCaracal 😂😂😂
Holy sh1t its darude

you know what surprised me? like five or six years ago, there was this place in Pittsburgh called "The Shade Room" and Elijah Wood(yes, Frodo) came through and did a set! super chill and very eclectic! and it was all straight up Vinyl. dude got some skills! shit was fire!
His music knowledge runs super deep too. He's not in it for the posing though, proper music head.
I love when Cody does videos like these
Same this was so fun
I do not it is not funny.
same
Lol I like when he does videos like that…like I want to be a dj too😂🧐
I need protection from the clash royale kings army
Fun fact Shaq is actually a technically competent DJ and he is deeply involved in the underground dubstep and bass music scene, he plays (and brings attention to) a lot of lesser known producers that otherwise would be completely unknown. Shaq is also on record stating that he has been DJing throughout his entire life and there are clips of him spinning while he was at LSU.
TRUE THIS. Put respect on the Diesel's name!!
Great rapper too, worked with a lot of greats back in the day
put sum respekk on his name
Ya he can scratch and all. He is legit.
DIESEL WAS FOOKIN LIT AT EDC I WAS ON THE RAILS FOR HIS SET ❤
Please keep doing this type of content. You’re becoming kind of a self-improvement brand, and trying new hobbies would be a great video format. It honestly makes me want to go out and try new things
i know this is kind of late but i would really recommend "yes theory" for more of this type of content
yes
Shout out Cody for following your dreams and going for it man. That's great that you had the support around you as well. I myself am 40 and have been getting back into drum and bass and want to start mixing my own but I have no DJ experience at all but watching this and seeing you do it and your words of encouragement or pushing me towards that goal of my own. I do know local DJ that I could contact and see if I could be taught. Anywho, thank you for your content. I always enjoy watching it.
Crushing DJing, the ukulele, real estate, cooking, crafts, marathons, surfing, music, every podcast under the sun, what can’t Cody do???
Cant quit his crippling coke addiction 🥲
@Jooles oh my god
@Jooles yes bro he blasts coke
@Jooles they call him CoKo for a reason his nose is like a vacuum cleaner
Giving Johnny sins a run for his money
Cody is fully embracing his ✨ 32 Year Old Laaaaadyyy ✨ phase, and I fully support him in all of his creative endeavors.
yes.
Jenna fan? In the wild? How I miss her. Bless you, you beautiful human you. :,C
I’m pretty sure Cody has a basketball game tomorrow! 😊
I like the nod to Bill Burr
Yes!!😂
this looked like so much fun and sooo nuts that DF came to support and co-DJ. Pure joy. Moderation sounds just like a silly fun vibe, love it.
Love videos with high effort and planning like this. Top tier content Cody!
As a DJ, this was fun to watch. It's a perfect transition for celebrities whose fan base is at the age of club-goers, since clubs really just care about filling the venue. You could probably just talk on stage the whole time and as long as people buy drinks, they'll hire you back.
Yess
Same, I was ready to hate on it but it was pretty great. Props to Cody for actually djing and not premixing.
Facts
Bc anyone gives a fuck what youre doing behind the deck on half of g of MDMA
This. First requirement is "a famous name" and then do whatever the f catastrophe on stage (check: Grimes)
This guy loves being in uncomfortable situations. That’s inspiring
This comment stuck out to me. You are right! I wish so bad I was more like this.
no. i think he hates it 😂 but he pushes through it
i always think about that. great mindset
@@releasetoreceive I don’t lmao I like being comfortable
I wouldn’t say he loves it lmao but he is able to push through it and face it
Loved this style of video!! Always so fun to watch you come up with a crazy idea but then actually follow through
Man, this is just a great video all around.
Recently got into DJing after having being a longtime musician with a rather good amount of knowledge in theory, but I thought you had a really good point in how weird it is that’s it’s so complicated and so simple at the same time with mixing with decks 👌🏼
Cheers
As a DJ, this was a fucking blast to watch. Sick video Cody.
Lil dj boy mix it up
Gonna say the same thing, solid first transition
ok broke boy. I make your yearly salary in 2 weeks. Your opinion means nothing to me
“lEtS JuSt ClArIfY, aS a Dj”
“as a DJ” bro relax he just proved that it barely takes any effort lmfao
This just goes to show that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to if you're rich and famous. The American Dream
I was gonna say, the people are a little more inclined to like you when you have a following of six million and everyone at the venue is looking forward to your arrival.
Wow how could I not see where I went wrong, now I know why I'm not getting gigs. I simply will just be rich & famous! Thanks Cody for this amazing insight!
This lol
LMAOOO
I mean Cody does acknowledge in the first 3 minutes that he only booked the gig cuz he had a name for himself. It is hilarious regardless though.
I enjoy these kinds of videos. They really show how much you care and how much effort you put into things.
this video was soo good. the different shots, the editing, your true personality
You placed yourself in such an unfamiliar and uncomfortable situation all for the sake of trying something new. We love you for that, Cody. If you can do it, maybe we can too.
This is such a sweet comment I love this
He been djing before youtube
Not that deep
@@Blindmin not to you and that's okay. I started coding again. Even learning to cook for myself and my girlfriend.
@@chmchn fuck it up proud of u
I respect Cody so much for taking up stuff and committing to actually getting better and better, really an inspiration
fr
the more things you know how to do, the worse you get at all of them
what has he gotten worse at?
its not that deep
@@kaleichin9243 watch your mouth kid
I love the videos of you trying new things they’re so fun, luv them more than the recent reacts!!!!!
This is so inspirational! I always wanted to be a professional DJ and pretty much did the same thing a few years ago, bought a deck, got an event and basically was sweating the entire time but after that day it became easier and people actually liked my second set more after the critic of the first set, I sold my gear years ago but after watching this, I want to get started again.
Cody being unable to get around the other dj when he walked on stage had me dying
I love how Greg just sits there, contemplating what his son is doing.
no joke this was hella admirable. i was getting anxiety just watching, so kudos to cody for actually doing this! and it seemed to go well too!!
I’m a bedroom dj with just a few gigs under my belt after almost 5 years of djing, got into producing a year ago but still think my shit is too basic ( yeah i’m an overthinker)
Your video gives me inspiration to perform and share my work with the world
You should post something! That’d be dope bro!
DJing is never about the transitions. Every DJ can admit that's the easiest part. The hardest is building the skill of knowing what songs to play and when. You are the sound selector for the night. You control the dancefloor.
So true. People who don’t understand what you mean should listen Opus by Eric Prydz to understand how a night at the DJ booth feels like.
That's funny. I just saw another comment saying how important transitions are.
@@karenamyx2205 I was being hyperbolic. Of course transitions in DJing is important. It's blatantly obvious. I think the essence of being a DJ is being a sound selector of the evening, in what ever context that presides.
@@karenamyx2205 What is the purpose of the transition? It's there to seamlessly layer the intro of the next song over the chorus of the current song so that the phrase starts after the chorus, without messing up the 4/4 and tricking the audience into dancing on the new song. That's it. The transition isn't there to highlight the skill of the DJ. The skill of the DJ is to play the softer, inviting, repetitive, low profile music early on and have smooth longer transitions with long songs and slowly work to a climax half way in the night by speeding up with short transitions with lots of confidence and short, popular, harder or retro songs. And when the audience shrinks later on, the DJ will have to figure out who remains, who danced to what earlier and how to get them to dance the night away. The part when everyone's dancing with their eyes closed and 2 fingers in the air and don't want the night to end. Music does that to people. The right music. It took a while for me to understand. It's hard to explain.
Couldn’t agree more 🙌🏻
How to be a professional DJ:
1. Already have millions of followers
2. Already know world class DJs
3. Already have friends who are producers who will make you tracks
4. Already have experience playing small events
5. Already have several thousand $ to spend on gear
6. Have a world class back up DJ on hand to take over if things aren't going well
Fr it’s kind of silly
True, but also the title of the video was clickbait - he knows all of what you listed
Exactly, DJing is “sorta” easy when you have everything handed to you. When you have to scrounge for money to buy gear and music, when you literally know nobody influential in the scene, when you have to start off at the absolute bottom, playing shitty slots at shitty dive bars for shitty people who literally don’t give a shit about you or your music, when you have to hustle your ass off to develop a unique style, sound, and following, when you have to beg your friends and all your vague acquaintances to come to your shitty dive bar gigs, when you have to beg club and event promoters to put you on a lineup only to have a starting set at 9p with 2 people in the room staring at you, when you’re not being paid because “exposure” and the “opportunity” is your payment - THAT’S when DJing is hard as shit. FWIW I was a DJ on the side from 1999-2008, and while I was fortunate enough to end the last few years of my DJ career on a high note by opening for some of the world’s best touring DJs at that time at the hottest clubs in my area, most of my time was spent doing all the shitty stuff I mentioned to get to that point. So yes, it’s easy for an influencer to just randomly decide to be a DJ - and then be successful at it. For the average person? Not so much.
LOL... Ikr... This dude is an absolute clown
Anyone can be a "professional dj" by getting the gigs. a pair of tits can get you a gig. A "Vetted DJ" is one who has put in the grind for years, developing skills to mix, scratch and create energies like theyre making a PBnJ. Only the top 1% of "professional djs" get vetted. don't get it twisted
Love the content! Cool you recorded almost every step in this process!
I’ve Bering djying for almost a year now and I don’t even have the best setups but you just showed me how quick and fast someone can become a pro and be loved by people. I really enjoyed this video and thank you for showing me the best way to become a pro dj. I enjoyed it a lot. You’re the best.
“I’m gonna prove how easy it is to be a DJ”
Gets Dillon Francis to teach him
this was an emotional experience. moderation absolutely slaps. please keep trying this new thing ❤️❤️ I SUPPORT YOU!!!!
Inspired me to start mixing we’ll see in a few months if I do a set but this and your trains videos are so inspiring:’)
As an amateur DJ myself, it's not too difficult to get the basic mechanics like you mentioned. The really tough part, and what really makes a DJ, is the vibe and the music selection. That part is extra difficult because you can't just train to have good taste in music selection. Sure, you can just play top 10 songs, but then you're not that much more valuable than a top hits Spotify playlist.
I think there's also the part of being a good performer who senses the vibe of the audience and getting them excited
Actually, you can train to have a good taste in music selection (similar to how gourmets/sommeliers can train their taste). But yes it's definitely the hardest part.
You can literally just be a hot girl or mildly famous person in general and copy other playlists, look at all these IG "coding" and "tech" accounts that have no tech and all bikini pictures. The 5% of taste you need can just be copied off somebody else.
Coming from someone who makes music I don’t really agree. Not really a skill to have a good taste in music. The vibe thing I guess I can agree with but I still don’t count it as a skill. More like a personality. Unless you actually make the music you mix with them I don’t think there’s too much skill to be a dj. Though there are some legit ones I’ve seen
Yea as a long time musician I think he hits it right on the head. As with any skill your ceiling is as far as you are willing to take yourself and your craft. But not every skill has the same barrier to entry. I feel in the music space. Being a DJ has the lowest barrier to entry but it's ceiling is as high as any other profession in music.
the dynamic between cody and dillon while teaching how to DJ made me love Dillon that much more 😂 the energy is hilarious
You guys can actually make a great duo. You'd crack the audience up real good 😂
Love the vid man, i remember starting my journey. Played at some clubs before covid, livestreamed while covid was still hot, then kinda fell off. Gettin back to the grind though!
Becoming a professional DJ is easy, becoming a GOOD professional DJ is not 😂
Yeah lmao. Easy to get into, hard to master (tbf, I see that as a good thing).
@@rivvelmusic Like a Rubix cube
@@rivvelmusic That's true, but the thing is bad DJs can masquerade as good ones WAYYY more easily than a bad musician can at the local level. Like sure, there are talentless hacks on the radio, but they're going to cause a bar-room to empty if a performer isn't genuinely good, if all your tech skills aren't very good, it's still pre-recorded music so it's hard to mess up bad enough to make anyone in the audience even know. Anyone with an ability to read a room and an Aux can fake their way into getting gigs as a Pro DJ.
Haha people not realizing that Hardway is actually a true pro
Agree, this guy was like “let’s make a song” he gotta ask you how to sign with spinnin for example, lots of work
You’re at the top of the commentary game but I think it’s fair to say that area of RUclips is over saturated. These challenge-type videos and Cody Trains vlogs have been really refreshing and I’ve been loving them. Thanks for the great content as always
100 percent! They’re my favorite he makes now
They may be over saturated but he is still my favorite!
I feel like this genre has so much potential that even though there are so many big names in commentary, I still find myself enjoying every one of them.
With how good noel and yours songs are i’m not even a little suprised you’re good at dj-ing and making beats and stuff. Would lovee a edm mix of sophia 🙏🏻 Also would be super cool to see more music stuff from you!
moderation is still my fav of cody’s songs. like bro really made a banger on like his first try. props
Becoming a DJ is so easy. You just have to be friends with Dillon Francis
Literally
As an opener DJ for years who's opened for some awesome names, the hardest part of djing is getting in front of a crowd and not shitting yourself, aside from that -- beatmatching, playlisting, curating songs should all be FUN and easy and straight forward for anyone passionate about it.
i think having some nerves in front of a crowd is a good thing, because it keeps your senses sharp. its usually at this stage that a person performs at its best. the biggest fuck ups on stage for me has always happened when i´m not nervous.
Beat matching isn't easy. Some people just can not get it. You need to have a certain type of brain, imho.
As for "playlisting," playing shit commercial music in a club where people aren't even really listening is "easy," constantly finding good music and impressing knowledgeable clubbers, making them want to dance, understanding the vibe of the crowd, subtly bringing the intensity up and down, are all NOT "easy" things to do.
@@LKeet6 nah its easy if you know music at all. If you cant even count beats then for sure your music taste is shitty
@@JeatBunkie bro, that's such a fucked up comment! 🤣 I enjoyed it, thanks 🙂👍
Firstly, beat matching is NOT "counting beats" 🤣
Secondly, what in the solitary fuck has being able to count beats, or match beats got to do with "taste"?? 🤣
As a person who does it for fun sometimes, it's not that easy for me. There's a lot to be said about your track selection, because if all the tracks are your regular club house things, finding the beat, going from chorus to chorus is no problem. Playing more experimental and unconventional tunes takes prectice and really solid knowledge of those tracks and rhythm. Creative transitions, mashups, samples, scratching and other performance and accuracy heavy things aren't that simple either and I think that is what makes a good DJ.
Your approach is inspiring you pushed yourself into it amazing! And Thankyou
A true Legend in the scene, someone that only comes once in a generation. Among those of Da Vinci, Mozart, Codeth the Ko
I like how Cody doesn't mention how he subtly went from a $2500 all in one controller to standalone $7000 CDJ setup in like 2 weeks.
Haha, yes exactly😂
Yea I noticed that too haha. I’m still chilling with the ddj I got years ago
He borrowed those from dillon so he could practice on the same equipment that The club uses
Begone intern!!
He also just casually got a live tutorial from DILLON FRANCIS
This is exactly why I stopped DJing. I didn't have a big enough following. Promoters don't want to promote anymore and TBH it is pretty easy to learn how to DJ good enough to pass as one. Being a great DJ is another story.
Is it tho?
He didn't learn to dj a damn thing to pass at all he just paid other people to do it for him and bought his way up. Yeah real easy if you have 10 grand and lie your ass off
@@aabrightlove its like" yea bro i prove its easy to dj, just let my buddy dillon francis show it how its easy".
He is a big clown
Having Dj'd for 36 years, I never had any promoters book me, I booked me. I've done some really cool stuff as a Dj. Even though I look like Santa, I have Dj'd in some talent populated places like Oakland, Seattle, Denver and other places. But, I took care of my own promotion and booking.
@@iWubmusic why work that much and not just press play on prerecorded set?
I genuinely love this house era. I listen to the songs in the shower with the rest of my house/EDM playlist. Unironically. It’s so good
I am an Electronic Music Producer and I DJ'ed in Vinyl in the 80's, I am now 61 and going back to DJ'ing with a lot of my own tracks eventually, and I will take at least a year to work on my sets, as I will be Live looping as well. Good work for throwing yourself into your passion
This dude never misses. I’ve been watching Cody and Noel for years. It’s crazy to see how far Cody has gotten.
I knew Noel in high school and the dude literally hasn't changed a bit
Don’t mess with perfection
@ush I love them both! 😂
I love that he actually tries to learn this stuff and absorb the info. Same with the ukulele. Chody is frictionlessly smart.
The alternative would be to make a fool of yourself in front of hundreds of people so not like has a choice lmao
Always fun to watch Cody try something new. Very Inspiring. For All the people in the comments who are DJs and frustrated that Cody booked a gig so early on he has a following. Stop trying to compare yourself to him.
Really enjoyed this video. While I agree that today’s technology (cdj or controller) make it quite easy for most to sound competent in 7 hours or so, I was glad that you recognize there is more depth to it to be really good and different. That said the sync button and mixed in key will allow you to sound real good , pretty easy with just a little coaching and RUclips. To be clear even as 25 yet vet dj, sync and MIK are two things I love and use a lot. Now I would love to see you play a packed room like that doing only a vinyl set with a mixer that doesn’t show bpm and no mixed in key on your tracks. That will require a little more than 7 hours preparation. ;)
Honestly out of all people Paris would be a good DJ because she was heavy into the club life for years so it makes sense. She knows what works
Shaq was in the NBA for 19 years. I’m pretty sure he knows his way around the club crowd.
@@boejudden9011 shaq was also a dj in the 80s. Its not just a recent thing. He's been around.
paris isnt really a dj. watch fake djs on youtube.. paris rates highly ..lol
she’s a hot girl that’s about 90% there to being a pro Dj
Her fart hot cues always on point
I could watch another 2 or 3+ hours of this. Like a doc-style video with the entire learning process & not just the condensed version.., it would be so awesome to see it all. This was an absolute banger of a video. Almost as banger as your set.
This whole thing & everything you been doing lately has been so fun to watch dude., keep doing cool shit like this 🤘🏼
I'd be into this too
I am a DJ looking for DJ videos. This is my first time seeing you. I like you. You are honest and funny! Your experience was cool! Thanks for sharing
need to see the whole set!
LMAOOOO it’s true, I’ve been saying for a long time that the skill of djing is actually quite easy to learn… the hardest part is what Cody did like 5 mins in. The “having enough of a name to bring people into the bar” is by far the hardest part.
You're a dope. His mixing was horrible. Mixing isn't shutting off a track and just switching to another. It's blending the songs together so you don't trainwreck.
@@questionmark1152 implying that blending songs is difficult… lmao, beat match, fade in new track w cut bass, wait for the right moment and swap bass and then bring in your mids and his. If everything is in key it will sound good. I know what I’m talkin abt I do this for a living, compared to learning an instrument trust me it is easy.
@@questionmark1152 he had a month to learn give the guy a break lmfao
@@mechadonia It's obviously not that because he wasn't able to do it. Most djs nowadays auto sync cus they can't do shit themselves. I'd be willing to bet anything if we listened to his entire set it would either be trainwrecks or just completely bringing the volume down on the track going out and volume up on the track coming in.
@@prrrian What do you mean the savant up here said its the easiest thing on Earth.
Your conclusion should have been "DJing is sort of easy if you have a following already, have connections with one of the biggest DJs in the world and get someone to ghost produce your banger, not to mention tons of money to blow on all of this plus promotion"
he said in the beginning of the video when he made the phone call, that if you have a little bit of a name it's not that hard.
@@whosmelissa "a little bit of name" like a 6 million subscriber youtube channel? Yeah let me just whip up one of those.
He did acknowledge that, wasn't the intro about celebrities becoming DJs all of the sudden.
it's not ghost produced. Space Rangers is listed as the artist of the song calm down.
Not only that, he literally used to DJ lol
Cody is the most entertaining creator on this entire app. I mean, seriously. It’s insane.
Honestly, I admire Cody Ko. I’m too intimidated by stepping out of my comfort zone. And then I see things like this, and I’m inspired 🤩
Cody really doing everything and I’m here for it
I can’t believe he ACTUALLY did this 😂 Like booked the set before he even learned to DJ and then still killed it 😂 honestly inspiring man shows that if you put enough time in and have the right mindset you can learn any skill
Cody trying to pass this off as satire when we all know he really wants to do this lmaoo.
Yes 😭the nerves were to real to be satire lmao
Hey Cody, this was very entertaining and inspirational, thank you for sharing
This was my first Cody ko video and I instantly subscribed cuz this shit was pretty funny and creative love it
As someone who’s currently dabbling in DJing right now, seeing one of my favorite RUclipsrs talk and show the process is so so cool
This is honestly something i am really enjoying with Cody recently, trying new things and stepping out of your comfort zone is awesome dude
Thank you for doing this. LA NEEDS MORE DJS
These kinds of videos are so cool to see
I know this is an old joke, but Cody truly looked like a geriatric old man when he first stumbled on stage
Lol “old” joke haha good one
@@arescaldwell8188HHAHAHEHAHEHEH
I wish the crowd wasnt just fans with their phones out, it seems like such a fun dance set if they actually would've danced lol
Yeah Cody did really fuckin great for a first time, super disappointed by that crowd
This whole video reminds me for my first step in my djay career. Love that video goddamn nice.❤
This was awesome.. Especially seeing the real nervousness and everything plus I mean djing with Dillon Francis is the dopest part of this video…
For everyone who's scared of turning 30, or thinks that age is old, lemme tell you that it's the best time of your life, maybe not as wild as your 20s, but so much better. Awesome job Cody. Hope it doesn't interfere with your recovery.
I’m close to 30 and this is basically what I hear from all my friends in their 30s. You’re still you, just hotter and wiser
currently 24 & i just wanna be in my 30s already lol
I'm 35, it's definitely better than my 20s in terms of who I am, and it's funny seeing early 20s people and just realizing how immature and inexperienced in life you were then.
For med students it’s all we have essentially 😂
@@teasp00ns and got way more money 💰
Didn't think i could be so proud of a person i've never even met! Cody is killing it man. first Cody trains, now we got Cody djs!!! i could shed a tear
Cody Spins
Trains? as in choochoo?
Streaming moderation right now and it's a freaking banger. Awesome debut dude haha
Great vid! That moderation track is brilliant.
When’s the last time you saw an elder DJ? This is some seriously impressive stuff. Truly the greatest generation.
aren’t the original DJs all elders now?
@@abbyz13 they’re retired dummy
Ha😐
There's DJ Oma
fr the silent generation was p loud in this one 🤪🤪
Cody & Noel's entire music career reminds me of that scene from The Other Guys where Mark Wahlberg learned ballet to be funny but like *actually learned ballet.*
lmfao right
Loved this video what a fun story to follow do more gigs Cody would absolutely go
I love that energy pre-show “Let Cody have one of the best nights of his entire life ever!”
So the short answer is, DJing is easy!
As long as you have
-money for equipment
-a name recognizable enough to score a gig
-a friend that can produce EDM music
-a friend that's already a professional DJ that can help you
-heart :3
Or even shorter, DJing is not easy unless you fake the whole thing
I think the main factor is not being absolutely clueless about music that people can dance to, knowing the right people and looking at least somewhat appealing and cool to the crowd that frequents the venue or night you will be playing, which can vary quite a bit. You don't always need equipment, some venues have their own. You don't need vinyl, many DJ off of USB and laptops now. You don't need any of your own songs, but if you want to stand out more, you'll need to make at least some of your own remixes. Learning the basics isn't that tough, you can watch videos online and go in early to practice. This is for bars and small clubs level. You need to be more skilled and have more of your own material to get booked for gigs with well known dance music artists and DJs and especially for music festivals.
hahahahahahahaaaaaa
Also house music, if he Dj’d r&b or 70’s and 80’s he’d struggle a lot more, which being a professional dj almost always includes, especially on a lower level
I think best part is spends 2.5k on an all in one and then realises he had not club compatible gear, then had to borrow his mates cdjs and mixer
Shaq's been dj'ing for decades now, even before playing in the nba, he's one of the celeb dj's that is actually legit and that artists respect
This deserves more views, its so good
i think it wouldve been cool to see you learn on youtube and skill build using resources online just to see how it goes, that’s probably where most difficulty would come from for any other dj but otherwise this was cool to see cody
I'm no DJ but the transition at 11:45 was so dope lol this was a blast to watch!
No he killed that 😭😭👏🏾
Love when Cody does things like this, always cool to see someone trying something new
CODY MORE VIDS LIKE THIS LOVE UUUU
I have chills only by watching this.
ive practiced almost daily since i started playing 5 years ago, seeing kody score a gig like that fucking killed me bruh, it is so fukn hard to score gigs sometimes man. all the technical stuff can be picked up reasonably fast but the hardest thing to learn is too read a crowd and know your music and memorise your 100s of tracks to so you always know what to transition into next. as well as reading a crowd you gotta know how to actually control them in a sense, give them breaks from dancing and know when to hype them up
Most new djs dont even look up let alone read a crowd.
@@jimzmudgway469 i mean yeah if your new thats understandable, you gotta start somewhere and learn somehow
Don't worry, this video is NOT at all about how easy it is to DJ....the real video name should be how easy it is to DJ again after taking a 10 year break...he had to know how to beat match by ear if he DJ'd back in the day...and as a DJ who teaches other DJ's I have seen DJ's not touch gear for years and still wow a crowd at the drop of a hat. Keep DJing
So true. It's like having a great conversation with someone.
People weren't dancing. They just wanted to see a famous RUclipsr
man the chaotic energy between cody and dillion is so hilarious... yall need to do more xD
I’ve never viewed your channel and this video popped up on my recommended list. I’m going to subscribe.
Loved the video and the attitude about it! 🖤 And yes, when you have the resources at your disposal (as in the case of an already wealthy and famous person as those described in the video) DJing can be pretty easy. It isn`t easy tho if you don`t have the connections, money, musical background, managing and promoting skills etc. I know this video is for entertainment purposes but it can be misleading in some ways, and I think that`s what the general audience thinks: you have a controller, you download some music off of RUclips and you become a DJ overnight, but it`s not at all like that. Good luck to any new DJs, if you love the craft you`ll make it eventually!
The production quality of this video is amazing. You can see how much effort Cody put into this, I love it.
Paris gets paid 1M $ for one singular performance, easy or not she’s killing it
Thats not true
@@jamessmith5674 “I don’t want to be bragging, but it’s great to be paid well for what you love doing,” Hilton told the New York Post. Amid reports that she had received $2.7m (£1.6m) for a four-night residency at Ibiza’s Amnesia club, Hilton confirmed that she sometimes receives as much as $1 million (£620,000) for a single DJ appearance. “My mother always told me it’s not polite to discuss money, but it’s true,” she said. “I’m very proud. I’ve worked hard.”

@@keiraforster3198 "I've worked hard" coming out of Paris fucking Hilton's mouth is the most ridiculous thing I've heard this year. Like does she really think that?
@@Royvdl Okay, prior to Djing, I would agree. But she does actually put effort into being a DJ so these days, that's not the most ridiculous thing.
She’s so hot. Celeb Crush since “Simple Life” 2004
i wasn’t planning on watching this entire video but i was entertained the entire 20 minutes 😂i love u cody
So glad I came across this!
I'm actually a career musician who very recently decided to take the DJ path, and I was just getting ready to practice a DJ set after practicing some music when I took a break and happened to find this video.
Basically, there was no way I was going to not watch a video with this title. Funny thing, I already had my own idea in mind about how to answer this question.
My answer to whether I think it will be easy to become a professional DJ: kinda.
Cody's answer: sorta.
