What alumni say
Around 35 people have been through around 11 two-day workshops so far. Some now DJ full time, some have become producers, and some still DJ as a hobby.
As a self-taught DJ, I signed up for the Masterclass curious to see what it was about. It opened up career horizons — I finished with clear, actionable knowledge for any future DJ work. Hugely grateful to Matko (DJ Matthew Bee) for explaining everything I needed to know.
I had touched music and DJing before the Masterclass, but the knowledge Matko shared was essential for my growth. You see, hear, and try how everything works first-hand. The best part — as part of the Cosmic Production agency you can get the opportunity to work professionally right away.
The Masterclass was the trigger for me to fulfil a long-held dream of becoming a DJ. I got to know professional equipment and music-playing techniques and heard the experience and advice of well-known DJs Matthew Bee and Music Selector.
I had only ever thought of DJing as a hobby. By the end of the Masterclass I had a Soundcloud profile with my first mix, a DJ name, and — after hearing Matko's story about his own beginnings — I thought it would be a shame not to try. The Masterclass was a real turning point that gave me the courage to take my first gigs.
