Get your USBs ready, JMC Academy is officially partnering with Your Shot AUS/NZ, the legendary DJ competition turning dancefloor dreams into full-blown careers.

But here’s the twist: this collaboration isn’t about teaching people to DJ. It’s about meeting aspiring creatives at the start of their journey, and opening their eyes to what’s possible beyond the decks.

Not Just a Set - A Starting Point

Your Shot is more than a DJ comp. It’s a cultural moment. A rite of passage. A high-intensity crash course that turns raw passion into stage-ready sets, powered by elite mentors and roaring crowds. Thousands of people enter each year (many with little or no formal experience) and walk away with a taste of something electric.

That’s where JMC comes in.

We don’t teach DJing. But we do teach what often comes next. Music Production and Entertainment Business Management. The skills that turn a killer mix into a killer career.

Where Passion Meets Professional Pathways

While DJing gives people a taste of performing, it also sparks questions:
How do I make my own tracks? How do I get signed? How do I turn this into something long-term?

This partnership introduces new audiences to the idea that music isn’t just something you play, it’s something you can study, build a career in, and thrive through. It’s about turning moments of hype into sustainable creative momentum.

A Beat That Builds into Something Bigger

Whether you’re stepping onstage for the first time or thinking about your next move, Your Shot x JMC is here to support the leap, from passion to profession, and from curiosity to craft.

This isn't just a partnership. It's a platform. It's about honouring the energy and magic that brings people back to the music, and offering the many pathways that help them stay in the scene, long after that first track drops.

So if you’ve ever felt the music pull you forward, keep going. We’ll meet you there.
