FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First you have to meet them in person. You can not get a feel for the personality of your client over the phone or through email. Once you get a feel for the client, you have to ask questions about their music preference. Find out what they like is the biggest thing you can do. You do not want to play country music for a client that only likes top 40, and hip/hop. Find out what type of event they are having, and if their are any limitations on what music is played. You do not want a lot of cussing around 7-8 year old children. You need to know if their will be children at the event, and what their ages are so you can incorporate music for them as well. When parents see their kids are apart of the event they seem to be happier. A d.j. that does not incorporate the kids as well is not a true professional. Then I work as close to their budget as I can. Our service speaks for itself. We are professional, and can work with last minute changes. Sometimes it costs extra, and sometimes not. We do however do everything we can to not break your bank. Once we agree on a price, and get our contract signed, we start planning your event. We send you a copy of the playlist for your approval, and then begin planning set up, and no play lists. We stay in contact until the completion of the event. Once completed, and final payment is made we will clean up any mess we make, and leave our area just as we found it.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Tons of reading, and research. Following what others in my profession are doing, and what is working for them. Talk to other d.j.'s in my area, and compare notes.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I met a d.j. while I was on active duty in the military, and started learning about it from him. After a while of working with him, he allowed me to do a gig on my own, and saw that I was pretty good at it. So I started doing more gigs, and getting better. Then after a few years he offered me a part of the company and the rest has been history.
