What is a VJ versus DJ?

A DJ, or disc jockey, is a person who plays pre-recorded music for an audience, typically in a club, party or other event. They may also be responsible for selecting and organizing the playlist, blending tracks together, and controlling the volume and EQ levels.

A VJ, or video jockey, is a person who plays visual content, such as music videos, animation, or other digital media, alongside the music being played by a DJ. They may create and mix their own visual content or use pre-made videos, and often use specialized software and hardware to manipulate the images in real-time to create a unique visual experience for the audience.

While DJs are primarily focused on the audio aspect of an event, VJs bring an additional layer of visual stimulation to the performance. Some events may feature both a DJ and a VJ, working together to create a fully immersive audiovisual experience for the audience.
