DJs can make the best nights of your life, create experiences you’ll never forget and memories that will last a lifetime. But what happens when the crowds are gone? LIFE OF A DJ Is a documentary showing the unique experience of a DJ’s life - the highs and lows of being on tour and pressures of being the life of the party. Constantly surrounded by people yet feeling alone at the same time.
