Never too late.
I started when I was 23, and I've done alot better for myself than people who have been djing for 5-6 years before me.
It all depends on the effort your willing to put in, and what you want to get out of it ;)
Giv'er! |

You're only 19 and you're asking if it's too late? Are you kidding me?
MANY DJ's started WELL later than that. A lot of people aren't interested in DJing before they aren't even old enough to get into half of the clubs to really be exposed to it in the first place. |

| are you kidding me? 19 is way too late to start djing. you need to start at least by 5 years old....everyone knows that. |

| Started at 29 and still rocking the decks at 30 (though in a bedroom environment only). It's never too late. Invest in some good equipment, and have fun. Six months from now you'll be on cloud 9, and you'll never look back. DO IT! |

i started at two weeks before turning 16. currently 19 now.
still, doesn't matter. look at Patrick & Phillip from M.A.N.D.Y.
they had been DJing since forever when they were young. it got them nowhere. they quit it. by the time they were 30, they were both making good money working normal jobs, but were bored. so they gave it one last shot. they saved up some cash, bought up a bunch of gear, made a studio, started spinning again, and quit their day jobs.
according to Patrick, there were times where they weren't exactly sure what they were going to eat. however, by the time Patrick is 32, their set for Radio 1 has been voted Essential Mix of the year.
so, i don't think 19 is too late, no. specially if you have a defined background and taste for electronic music.

It doesn't have to be like that. |
No it's actually.
If you're comletely half assed but you're great at kissing it youll get booked. If you're a major bad ass but kiss none you won't get booked. |

That all depends on the local area, really. Each "scene" is going to have promoters that work differently. Many areas will have promoters that truly care about what goes on in a demo, while many will only book you if you kiss their ass. |
