Introduction: I got back into entertaining around 2002 and have continued to entertain events. Weddings, School Events, Corporate Events, Fundraisers, birthday parties, School Proms, Parties, and many other events. I love what I am doing, and I don't mind talking in front of people at any event. I always show up ahead of time to make sure everything goes as planned. I check the sound and lights. The smiles from the people I entertain make my day. I love new and old music. 50/60's, Motown, jazz. Rap, Bebop, Classical, Soul, Hip Hop, Rap, Country, Holiday music, 70's, 80's. 90's 2000-2023 music, Top 40 Latin, Lima Peru, Spanish American music, Bollywood, Indie Pop Hits, Kidz Bop for the Kids. I get to listen to good music and meet new people, and I love what I'm doing. My calendar has been pretty full, keeping me happy. Please if you might want me to entertain your event hit hire on your end as I'm starting to double on dates. Hope to see you soon!

We were very happy with the DJ and music played at our recent party. John was very responsive, arrived ahead of time and everyone enjoyed his presentation and music.

John was great to work with. He took time to respond to each of my questions and went above and beyond in helping me. it is my daughter's wedding and she needs extra time to finalize getting her DJ and my recommendation is that she hire John. He has excellent reviews and his website is professional and easy to follow. I especially like his calendar. It makes it easy to see if he is still available when my daughter makes the final decision. Thank you John. Gayle A.

John provided an outstanding DJ service for our riverboat cruise! Everything about his service was top notch. He was great at communicating with us prior to the event and delivered everything he promised. His LED lights and sound system are very impressive. Overall, a great guy to work with and provides a high quality, professional DJ service. I would highly recommend him to others.

John is very personable, punctual, professional and fun! John brings value, beyond words, to every event we have been blessed to have him attend - people always respond positively to him! He listens to what is needed for an event and works with planners to make sure he provides what they want and need to make the event a success. Thanks for all you do John!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing moves with the market, I like to work with the customers to make sure they get what they need at a fair price.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
A good introduction, going over what their needs are, and helping them by answering questions they might have at the time.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I stay on top of new light systems, sound system, music by watching YouTube, reading and online research for new ideas I get a lot of information from LinkedIn, other DJ's in the business around the United States. I look at billboard top 100 songs every week to stay up with the music.
