- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My process is very simple! I always start with a phone consultation to get acquainted and learn more about what the customer is envisioning for their event. Building a relationship is my first and number one priority. After we discuss what package makes the most sense, I send an agreement for them to sign with the event information and DJ service details provided. I collect a 50% deposit down to hold the date in my calendar and collect the remainder by the day of the event. Then we get to my favorite part which is curating the perfect playlist! What separates me from most DJ's is that my process here is very collaborative. I always ask the client to send me a list of any songs/artists/genres that they would want to hear to get an idea of the musical direction they'd like for their party. Then I curate a playlist for the entire event and send it to them ahead of time for their review and approval. The client can be as little or as much involved as they like. I've had brides tell me the exact order they want for every song played in their wedding reception, and I've had others tell me they don't care as long as everyone is having a good time. Either way, I always like to send the playlist ahead of time because it gives both of us confidence that the music will be a hit and everyone will have a blast. I'm always available by text, phone, or email to respond to any questions or concerns. I'm easy to get a hold of for my clients and keep them up to date along every step of the way.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been a music producer for over 12 years. So I understand the ins and outs of mixing and creating the right atmosphere for any event.
