He was absolutely amazing. the bridesmaids kept telling me how helpful with getting things together before I arrived. Very good communication and will triple check before the event. He was one of the few vendors we didn't have issues with. He kept the vibes going the whole time. My husband and I can't stop singing his praises. More...

What’s the secret to keeping a party dancing all night long?
When it comes to events, there's a few step process. First, get to know your client, their preferences and the overall vibe that they are looking for. Second, mingle with guests and make your presence knows as the event's DJ and show everyone where you're located so that everyone feels that they have the opportunity to give input. Third, keep easily recognizable hits, high-BPM dance tracks and live mixes on constant rotation with the client's music requests. And lastly, stay active on the mic and high energy every time a song drops. That combination allows for the dance floor to stay up and active all night in a natural way, without having to force it.
How would you describe your ‘style’?
Very high-energy, always remixing live. I can go as far as creating a custom mashup/remix set for a client's entire event based off of their musical input. Professional, vibing and upbeat at all times.
What do you love most about your job?
I have an innate ability to control the atmosphere of any place with a combination of music and my positive energy. It is my absolute passion to do just that. I love creating new mixes. I love seeing people have a good time. I love the feeling of a pleased client after a party gone right. I love every aspect of it, from planning to execution and every part in between.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I had always wanted to make my own DJ business for events, ever since I realized that I had a knack for mixing in 2010. Being a DJ and party host is 100% my passion in life. It's rare that people find the thing in life that they, are not only very good at but, love to do... and I have found that. Running a business as a DJ allows for far more flexibility and creativity within my work, which is what really leaves an impression.
Why should our clients choose you?
One word... versatility. I love to make sure that my client is getting exactly what they are looking for and way more. I take the proper time to go over every aspect of what I will be doing for them at their event.
