Unlocking the Art of DJing with DJ Emmjay

Assumption College students recently had the incredible opportunity to learn from a professional DJ, Mitchell, who goes by the stage name DJ Emmjay. Currently in his final year of studying Law at QUT, Mitchell is not only an accomplished student but also a highly skilled DJ. His workshop provided an in-depth look into the art of DJing, emphasising the importance of a strong understanding of music, including beat, structure, and sound frequency.

During the workshop, DJ Emmjay demonstrated the essential hardware and software used in DJing, showcasing the skills and knowledge required to excel in this field. He also shared his personal journey of balancing his passion for DJing with the demands of a full-time law degree, offering valuable insights and inspiration to our students.
