About this pro

When I work with an event, I feel the energy of the client and of the venue or event. I play to entertain the crowd and the host of the event. I also do extensive research on the song genres that I play and am constantly improving myself and my work. A good DJ never says " I am the best at what I do", instead a good DJ will let their work speak for itself as well as doing what they can to improve their skills. For the costumer, I tell them why I would be the best provider for their event and if I don't think that I am personally the best for their event, I can find someone on my work crew or suggest other DJ's or music companies that would be a better fit. There are many aspects to this job that I like. One of which is the meeting of people as well as being able to understand what people want and being able to provide them with the service they are asking for. Payment is good and all, but when I see the customer smiling the entire time during the event, I know I'm doing my job, I'm doing it well, and host and guests are having a good time. I also love working hands on with the equipment and being able to help in any area i can.to leave a happy and unforgettable memory in some ones mind is priceless to me because if i do that im getting paid for life, and that to me is better then getting paid at the end of the event.

I've been to a few of his events and worked with him personally a few times. He's a decent DJ, but doesn't have a wide range of music. He generally plays EBM, Trance, Dubstep, and other "club" music, but doesn't know much about mainstream music. When asked to play top 40's, he couldn't provide. As well, he doesn't work with others in a professional manner. He has a hard time collaborating with other DJs that may be at the event and he doesn't have very good time management skills. Overall, I can only give him two stars.

when there is a dj line up each dj tell the promoter or the event coordinator what genera they were going to play. i was not top 40's i was schedule to play EBM trance and dub step. you don't step out side of what your scheduled or you might step into a track another dj was going to play.

He says he can get me into the club for free..........but then I had to pay. WTF man. He even made a phone call and made me believe he had all these connections........but when we got there he was nervous and said to switch me for his other friend.

Staff S.

Does a good job overall but has a tendency to butt heads with higher level staff. Attire for event was unprofessional. We do appreciate his coming out last minute though.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
I would suggest they meet face to face with potential provider, ask for their resume, and listen to a sample of their music or video of an event they did. Don't ever hire someone without a resume or some type of references, and even after getting references, look up their references to make sure they are trust worthy.
