About me :
*raises hand* Hi I’m Jaryd Busch and I am a DJ haha!
My name is Jaryd Busch, I am 32 years of age and been living in the mother city (Cape Town) all my life. I would describe myself as being hardworking, patient and goal driven. Yes I am a DJ (by night that is) , but what many people don’t know is that I have a career in IT too. Currently I am a resident DJ on Good Hope FM (every Friday on Dr’s in the House with Julian Brache) and at Hanover Street, located at Grandwest Casino in Cape Town.
Where it all started :
As a young boy I have fond memories of messing around on my older brother’s turntables when he was not home. Eventually he showed me the ropes, and I haven’t looked back since. What was my bedroom hobby very quickly progressed to mobile events such as church functions, weddings, 21st birthdays and house parties. This not only helped me with crowd confidence (playing music to an audience as I was very shy), but it allowed me to familiarize myself with the equipment being used. Gradually I worked my way up to the clubbing scene by entering DJ competitions and playing at various events. Not only did I gain valuable experience by doing this, but it provided me with the confidence boost I needed to move forward. In the 18 years that I have been a DJ , not once did I ever consider what I do as being a job, it’s a passion!
Music Genres played :
As an entertainer, crowd adaption is vital which essentially means that I am able to play most genres of music when and where required. From Hip Hop/ RnB, House to Old School , mixing up the old and new in order to make the crowd’s experience that much more enjoyable.
Achievements :
I strongly consider what I do to be an art form, simply having the opportunity to share my energy with people and watch enjoy themselves whether it be at a club ,a private event or on radio is not only priceless, but a huge achievement on its own.
