Advice on handling dj-promoter??
So just recently last year I got out of the bedroom and started playing at some clubs in Mexico. most of them pretty decent, being new to all of this, all I wanted to do was to play out as much as possible.
So 2 months ago I meet this guy that was the resident dj at a club and he asks me to replace him a couple nights because he had to play at some event in Cabo , he would pay me personally a week after because that's when he would usually get the money the club pays him .
I played and at the end of the night the owner really digged my set and asked me if i wanted to be resident of the club because they didnt like the current resident dj and where looking for something more of what i was spinning , i said no thanx because i got school and studying to do. I cannot do a 4 nights a week - five hour set every single night and then go next day to school at 7 am, so at end we shook hands and the guy told me ," If you ever want to spin here again you are welcomed."
So next week i called the resident dj many times and never answered the phone , I wrote to him on myspace asking him when was he going to pay me , he read the message and never answered back , i went to the club a week after and saw that a new dj was playing ,the owner told me he fired to former one just 2 days ago.
So clearly the guy is avoiding me and doesn't have any intention on paying me , like i said before I just wanted to play and didn't care much about the money , but what gets me really irritated is the fact that this guy is going to get away with it , and doesn't even
have the courtesy to answer my mesages or return my calls,
what do you guys advice me to do?
and also for future references what should i do beforehand
