Childress has taken his skills to Facebook and Instagram for virtual performances, but it hasn’t been easy.

“It can become annoying when you’re DJing on social media because [platform administrators] will take your [stream] down [because of music rights], so it’s hard to throw your Cash App handle, [a username that allows access to a payment application that enables direct peer-to-peer payment via a mobile device], on your livestream and generate an audience,” Childress said.

Childress has found work through private bookings for parties on Zoom, a platform for video and audio conferences, chats, and webinars.

Virtual gigs have not been enough to replace his usual earnings, but “it’s been enough to put some food on the table,” Childress said.
