Question: What Is a DJ?
Answer: A DJ (deejay) or disc jockey is a person who selects and plays recorded music for an audience, usually on radio, television or at a nightclub.

A hip-hop DJ selects, plays and creates music with turntables. Several techniques are used to mix and blend recorded music, including cueing, equalization and audio mixing of multiple sound sources.
