About Us
At DJ@Duke, we are passionate about empowering student DJs and fostering a vibrant, collaborative music culture across campus. Our mission is to provide students with an accessible platform to showcase their DJ skills, partner with other student musicians, and develop new talents, all while cultivating creativity, inclusivity, and self-expression. We believe Duke’s students possess incredible musical talent, making it unnecessary to seek outside entertainers for campus events. By highlighting and supporting our peers, we aim to celebrate the rich diversity of musical styles and voices within our community while showcasing the unique potential of Duke’s own student body. At the core of DJ@Duke is a commitment to teaching and mentoring students who are interested in DJing, regardless of experience. From seasoned DJs to absolute beginners with a love for music, we welcome everyone to join our community. We will provide resources, access to DJ technology, and hands-on workshops designed to teach the art of DJing, ensuring that learning this skill is attainable and inclusive for all. In addition to workshops, DJ@Duke will actively connect students with opportunities to play at and enjoy campus events and in the broader Durham music scene. We aim to give student DJs real-world experience while strengthening ties with the local creative community. Through live events, collaborative projects, and potential mentorship programs, we hope to inspire students to discover their unique styles, relieve stress, and find creative outlets for their passions. Music has the power to build connections, ignite passions, and create unforgettable experiences. At DJ@Duke, we are dedicated to helping students channel their love of music into meaningful opportunities and lifelong memories.
