Have you ever dreamed of performing in Ibiza, the global hub for electronic music? For many DJs, playing in Ibiza is the ultimate goal, offering unparalleled exposure and the chance to connect with the biggest names in the industry. While the journey may seem daunting, with the right mindset and steps, it’s entirely possible to make your dream a reality. Here’s your guide to becoming a booked DJ in Ibiza. We interviewed one of our DJs, who we support on the Island since day 1: Viktor Wonka.
Follow the feeling, not the plan
I came to Ibiza with no plan – just a feeling that I needed to be here. No big bookings, no management, no massive stages. Just me, my music, and the belief that anything is possible if you don’t block yourself.
Be real, or be forgotten
In the beginning, it was tough. I didn’t know anyone, had no connections. But I went out, talked to people, listened, celebrated, shared. I didn’t play to be seen – I played because I truly feel it. That’s what matters most here: you have to be real. Not just in your music, but in who you are.
Connection over competition
Talk to everyone. Be good to people. Be honest, open. Support other DJs, even when you’re not getting gigs yourself. Celebrate others. And most of all – believe in yourself, especially when things aren’t flowing. Do 100% you. When you choose yourself, instead of waiting for someone else to choose you – that’s when the magic happens.
Seasons change, but the journey stays
And if you lose your way for a while – don’t stress. It’s okay to pause. Even when one season ends, new ones are always coming. New people. New chances. New stages. The world is beautiful. And the journey is just as important as the destination.
Becoming a booked DJ in Ibiza is not just a dream—it’s an achievable goal with the right mindset, planning, and support. From defining your plan and turning your passion into a profession to seeking guidance and learning from others, the steps are clear. Start your journey today and let Ibiza’s magic inspire your path to success.
