I can understand why the young and upcoming artists choose to play live. In my opinion, playing a decent DJ set will take some serious years of practice to get a real hold of, playing not only at home in your bedroom, but also out the in clubs for a live audience.

While learning this, you have to take some risks, and grow by trial and error. If you compare that to live sets, which you can much easier prepare in advance (if you choose to).

Thus, to some younger artists it probably feels “safer” and more in control to do a live set. The only advice one can give is: just practice, don’t be afraid to take some risks, it doesn’t have to perfect all the time, and most importantly try to stick to your own sound, be yourself…
