We’ve all heard of actors or celebrities going to other countries to make scratch on the side. This was one of the focuses of the movie Lost in Translation, and generally speaking most people who do it like to keep it a bit hush hush so as not to lose credibility in their main markets (i.e. look like they can’t get enough work at home). So it caught our eye when we saw that DJ Jared, apparent resident DJ at 1 Oak, Marquee, and Mansion, is temporarily leaving his wheelhouse to head to Boston and play at Venu. So are they not paying you enough in NYC Jared, or was the offer to good to resist?

I don’t get it - don’t DJs travel for a living? I know DJ JARED aka The Camel Rider has been playing all over the place for years now. (St Tropez, Russia, London, Miami, Boston etc.) He has a couple big club songs (Twisted, Tiny Dancer, Fall Down, etc.) so I’m not sure why this writer has just now discovered that DJs work in more than one town for a living…?

isn’t DJAM playing in NYC this week? does that qualify as “other markets” for him?
NYC would be a primary market. So would London, Miami, St. Tropez, etc. Generally speaking Boston would not be. Note the word “Secondary” in the title.
