Etymology
The term 'deejayed' is derived from 'DJ', which stands for 'disc jockey'. The earliest use of the term dates back to the 1930s, when it referred to radio announcers who played and spoke about phonograph records. As music technology evolved, so did the role of the DJ. By the 1970s and 1980s, deejaying had expanded into nightclubs and dance events, where DJs began to curate and mix tracks live for audiences. This shift marked the emergence of deejaying as a distinct art form, with the advent of mixing techniques, turntablist skills, and digital music editing software. Today, deejaying encompasses a wide range of styles and methodologies, and the term 'deejayed' emphasizes the active role of the DJ in shaping a musical experience.
