Pioneer DJ announce series of workshops to celebrate the LGBTQI+ community
Pioneer DJ has just announced a brand new series of workshops aimed at celebrating the LGBTQI+ community.
Taking place throughout the months of June and July, the aspiring DJs and producers from the LGBTQI+ community will have the chance to learn new skills and gain insight into effective ways to pursue a career in music at the in-person workshops.
With 20 places available for each workshop, topics will include: An introduction to DJing; an introduction to scratching; an introduction to music production and how to build a music identity – which focuses on career progression in the music industry (DJing or otherwise).
Participants will learn to use Pioneer DJ equipment under the guidance of international artists, DJ schools, and Pioneer DJ product experts.
The intention behind the Start From Scratch programme is to support underrepresented communities. Pioneer DJ have already hosted successful workshops geared towards people of colour and non-males.
The goal is to create a safe and productive space to nurture talent. Pioneer DJ has a commitment to making sure that there is increased diversity within the industry.
Research shows that targeted events like these help to close the gap. Check out the dates, times, and locations for the workshops in the table below and sign up here.
