Im also lookin to start up a djing career and I have one questions. Do you need any sort of licence to play on CDJs?

Thanks for the help in advance....

Probably not. It depends on the function.

Check out the DJ Licence Grid at http://www.djlicence.org.uk/pdffiles/Licen...20Royalties.pdf

It will tell you all the current licences.
