1. IS THIS YOUR FULL-TIME BUSINESS? ARE WEDDINGS YOUR PRIMARY FOCUS? WHAT CLUBS, LOUNGES, AND CORPORATE CLIENTS HAVE YOU PERFORMED FOR IN ADDITION TO WEDDINGS?


Being A Dj Is My Full Time Profession. It Is More Than Just A Job To Me, This Is My Passion And I Love What I Do. b) Weddings Are My Primary Focus. There Is A Lot Of Planning That Goes Into Having The Perfect Wedding. I Spend A Lot Of Time Ensuring That Everything Is Perfect.

2. HOW DO YOU CUSTOMIZE THE MUSIC EXPERIENCE FOR EACH COUPLE? CAN YOU HELP WITH SONG LISTS AND PROVIDING SUGGESTIONS?

With My Music Library That’s Over 50,000 Songs, There Are A Lot Of Options To Choose From. I Specialize In “Fun” Music, Music Of The Era Specific For Your Event. Think Of It This Way, Very Rarely Does The Whole Crowd Enjoy Or Want Just One Genre Of Music. I Play For The Crowd, The Energy, The Fun And The Excitement. I Confidently Play Every Genre.
 b) I Have A Lot Of Experience In Putting Together Playlists As Well As The “Don’t Playlists. Together We Can Pick Every Song Or Pick A Couple Of Genres And Leave The Rest To Me.


3. HOW DO YOU GET THE CROWD PUMPED?

Sometimes A Little Voice Helps Prompt The Beginning Of The Excitement. Sometimes It Just Takes Someone To Break The Ice. I Entertain The Crowd, I Don’t Play For Myself. It Is My Job And Passion To Get The Crowd To Dance And Have Fun. I Love My Job..!!

4. HOW DO YOU HANDLE SONG REQUESTS?


Song Requests Are A Fun Part Of The Night. It Gets The Crowd Involved With The Party. But Each Requested Song Has Their Part To Play. Not Every Song Can Just Be Thrown In. It Needs To Properly Introduced.


5. CAN I HEAR SOME EXAMPLES OF MIXING AND BLENDING DIFFERENT TRACKS?


Absolutely, I Feel That This Part Is Very Important. No Body Likes To Hear A Stampede Or Feel An Unexpected Left Turn Out Of No Where. Checkout My Site For A Few Examples. I Can Also Send A Link, File Or A Cd.
