So I am about to embark a on scary journey!
In September I will move from Narvik, Norway to Copenhagen, Denmark with my girlfriend.
The goal is to make a living as a DJ, I've got 10 years experience in both DJing and producing witch as earned me some money while working full time jobs, also I have been a musician for about 17 years. My main instrument is bass guitar, but I also play the piano, guitar, drums and sing.
I figure it is about time to stop wasting ambitions, and do something I love in order to put food on the table.
I newly started a blog, where I am to record the events surrounding this expedition, and I hope there are fellow dj's with the same ambitions, that would like to have a read, and maybe join in some of the fun I hopefully will encounter in Copenhagen! This week I will get one promo mix video uploaded, and 2nd or 3rd of august I will be able to upload a type of promotional video where I am doing a warm-up set for a colleague pop band at one of the club I used to be resident.
So! Please give my blog a read a http://northenvibe.wordpress.com/.
Subscribe and share! Even if it is a messed up idea, I will give it a honest go, and hopefully my spider senses are right!
På gjennsyn! (See you soon in Norwegian)

The only thing I can say is this ....
It is great you have such ambitions and I really hope you can live your dream carreer one day.
But, I hope you also have a good backup plan, because I can tell you it's not gonna be easy!!
Good luck!!
Well the backup plan would be to move back to norway
I am moving with my girlfriend, so the economic sitiuation will be halv as easy.
If we get trouble with earning enough to eat, we got options like dumpster diving, sell things that we create like bracelets or other decorative things. Maybe do street musican stuff like play the guitar and sing in populated areas in hopes of donations in a hat
Helping different tourist attractions to attract more turists and so on, there is no limit on what you can do to eat and live in a healthy way.
We create our own household products like soap, shampoo, toothpaste, cerial, tea and so on.
So i feel that we will be able to survive in a non consumer minimalistic way as long as we need to.
Please include us in your next meditation, we need all the good luck we can get ;D
