Matt is such a fantastic DJ! He relates well with the younger crowd and loves to incorporate their requests into his play lists. He's very professional and great to work with. I highly recommend him!

I loved that he interacts with the youth, love the contests, and esp. the back screen that went with the japanese theme. Also loved the photos of the kids he flashed up there throughout the dance.

Matthew always carefully thinks through what is going to work best for the set-up of each individual dance. He tailors and tries to make each experience unique to what we want to have happen. He is also very accommodating with regard to what our goals are for the dance. Probably most importantly, the youth love him and feel like he is relatable and open to what they want at their dance, including music requests before and during the dance and fun competitions during the dance. Overall, they love how he interacts with them throughout the night. Matthew is the best and we will be extremely sad when he moves!!

Matt is a fabulous and super fun DJ! He makes each dance unique. He is great at coming up with ideas when you come up with the theme. He works hard, always early and the price is right.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    My quotes include setup and breakdown time so you should plan on about 90 minutes of setup time before the event and 90 minutes of breakdown time after the event.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    I treat everyone like a new customer because I believe it is an honor to play a role in helping make your event memorable. Here's how an engagement with me typically plays out: 1: LETS TALK Before agreeing to any services, I like us to actually talk about the event your planning to get a better sense for what is most important to you. This helps us both figure out what services might be the best fit. 2: REVISED QUOTE & AGREEMENT Based on this conversation, I'll send you a more detailed quote. Hopefully you choose to work with me at that point :). If you decide to work with me, all I need is an email saying as much and you'll be locked in. No need to sign a contract or make a deposit. I trust you! 3: COLLABORATION Once we agree to work together, I like to collaborate with you and even event participants to request songs all the way up to the day event. This typically happens through twitter, text or a QR code you can place on event invitations, posters or flyers. I also like to collaborate on Spotify. 4: SETUP I typically like to start setting up at least 3 hours before the event starts. This gives me enough time to setup, test and deal with any last minute surprises (Ask me about these sometime, if you want a good laugh). Dont worry though. I don't charge for 3 hours of setup time. It only takes me about 90 minutes to actually setup and I only charge for that. 5: DURING THE EVENT Just enjoy yourself while I carry you and your crowd on a memorable musical journey through positive high-energy dance music! If you want guests to request songs during the event, then they can text me, tweet me, snap me or scan a QR code. This helps me track and screen everything. 6: BREAKDOWN It takes me about 90 minutes to wrap everything up and leave. I usually play music during this time so anyone else who is tasked with cleaning up after can do so with a song in their step. 7: INVOICING After the event I will send you an invoice which it typically due within 30 days. It's worth noting that I do not expect payment from you until after I've provided services. I work this way mainly because I simply trust you. I also work this way in case any changes to my services are needed at the last minute (e.g. you need me to play longer/shorter).

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    Ready for a big surprise? DJ'ing is not my full time job. I'm an Experience Designer which means my day job is all about understanding customers and anticipating what they'll need, want and expect from products and services. My professional training combines art, computer science, psychology, business and design. apply those skills to my passions for providing the perfect soundtrack for an event and you have one powerful combination!
