FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was running a karaoke dance party in my college town and just fell into DJing parties and events. It was never a life long dream (I wanted to be Jon Bon Jovi when I was 10). I found that people will pay good money for someone who can facilitate a real party atmosphere without being cheesy, aloof, or wildly ill equipped.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
Wedding receptions, private and corporate holiday parties, opening for indie dance pop acts at venues, running a monthly 90s party.
- Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I got hired every year for the Palatine Street Festival (an affluent Chicago suburb). In this regard I was there to run my Karaoke Dance Party for the teens and children. The last two years there were quite a few challenged children who would come up to sing and I am a passionate person. So I just egg them on and they would get so excited and the parents always gave me the "look". Those kinds of things are just priceless to me.
