Introduction

Well timed tasteful & creative music with professional mic work. I've been a full time DJ/Emcee since 2001 (right out of high school!). An 80's baby, and a 90's kid. Passion drives my success, and my customers happiness is my top priority. People deserve to celebrate, sing, and dance! I love watching people truly lose themselves on the dance floor. Music is a gateway to memories from the past, and a tool for creating fun memories for the future. I love my job, and I've been blessed with the opportunity to travel the country performing.

DJ Derek is an awesome DJ and although he wasn't my MCEE, he did a great job introducing my MCEE's and I know he would make a great one.

Thanks Raisa! I had a lot of fun entertaining your friends and family for your graduation party. The food was delicious :) :)

The event went phenomenally and much of the credit can be contributed to the DJ we chose. Everyone had such a great time, a few of our guests even mentioned having Derek be involved with future events. A step above the rest, he was professionally punctual, arriving a bit earlier to get a head start with setting up. He went out of his way to consult the musical tastes of the room which helped to please the crowd. His MCing was always appropriate and timely, and what an astounding mix of music! I am convinced that DJ Derek is as good as they come and worth every penny. Thanks again.

Thanks Robert! It was a lot of fun getting into some roots hip hop with you and your guests. The power of music!

He was there on time and really worked with us a whole year and responded so well. He gave us great suggestions and I couldn't have asked for a better Dj

DJ Derek B was the BEST! I found him for a last minute event and it was fate! He was so easy to work with and had the party dancing the ENTIRE time! He knew all the songs to play, it was such a success. I can't wait to have another event so I can hire DJ Derek B again!

DJ Derek B's reply

You are AWESOME! Thanks so much Karen. All of your hard work paid off for sure. You certainly know how to put together a remarkable event.
