Introduction
I consider myself to be ‘Atlanta’s most diverse DJ’ and am able to provide a wide range of music in the genres of R&B, Hip-Hop, House, Afrobeat, Dancehall, Reggae, Latin, Pop/Rock, Country, and Oldies. I provide lighting and basic MC services as well. I have a professional MC partner if you want to make your event even more special. I provide commercial insurance if your event venue requires it. I have been hired for 75+ events through Thumbtack since moving to the Atlanta area in 2015. Prior to this, I was hired on a regular basis in the Chicago/northern Illinois area. I play to the taste of the audience. I don't come to the event with a scripted 'crate' of music, which allows me to be flexible and spontaneous, letting the mood and energy in the room take me where I need to go. I recognize that 'its not about me', rather its about who hired me and their guests, so song requests are welcome. Over the years, I have paid attention to people's likes and dislikes about DJ's, so I keep those things in mind as I prepare for an upcoming event. I am a dancer by nature, so playing music that makes people move is an important, almost spiritual part of my life. I genuinely have fun at every function as they are typically about celebrating something or someone, a birthday, a retirement, a wedding, the holidays, etc. You will likely see me joining a line dance from my DJ table and singing along. Though I am a professional, it is hard for me to think of this as 'work'.

Half way through our outdoor wedding there was a down pour. DJ Old Soul kept the party going despite the puddles that were filling up around us. Our guests even requested more songs at the end of the night. No one wanted the party to end. Thanks DJ Old Soul. We appreciate you so much!

DJ Old Soul gave us the best wedding experience we would possibly have! He was so accommodating to our song request list. We heard practically every song on our list, and made our day to see everyone on the dance floor all night instead of sitting in their seats. I introduced him to one of my friends that MCs as a side job, and he so welcoming of the extra help getting the party started and continuing all night long. They worked together like they had been in business together for years instead of it being their first event together. He helped me sing to my beautiful wife which was a special moment that neither of ever will forget. (He made me sound good on the mic which makes it a plus in my book! lol). Overall, a wonderful experience, and such an awesome person to work with. He worked with our schedule, and it never seem like a hassle communicating back and forward. I appreciate his time and efforts, and we will definitely be using him for future events.
