DJ/MC Services
This is my profession. I’m not a “DJ on the weekends”, but a DJ by trade. What this means for you is…
Professionalism. I try my best to live by the Golden Rule both on and off the clock. This affects how I conduct business in ways like making prices straight-forward and easy, being flexible and understanding with last-minute changes, being both fun AND professional when each is needed, and much more!
Experience. I started out in 2018 as a side-hustle, working for a company that had several DJ’s. Once I felt confident that I could be proud of the work I did, I left that company on good terms and now I do this full time. I always make sure to apply what I learned to the next event. My details worksheets reflect this, you’ll certainly want to see those!
“Your business persona makes me feel like you’re a little too silly for the kind of classy vibe I want at my party.”
Thankfully, the guy who trained me into the profession did a good job teaching me how important it is to read your audience,
not to mention communicate preferences in advance! I like to have fun, and can absolutely be silly and make jokes,
but in my professional opinion, it’s actually better to err on the side of being a little too formal than to be a little too silly.
Reliability. I respond quickly (usually within an hour, but sometimes up to 24 hours), I show up 2 hours early to set up, if I tell you I’m gonna work on something then I’m gonna work on it. It just goes back to the Golden Rule. I try to be the DJ I’d want to work with.
We can summarize what you need to know in two parts:
“Are you good?”
“What’s it like to work with you?”
I have to have a good answer for both.
🤢 If I’m fun and easy to work with but I bomb your event, then none of it mattered.
😡 If I’m annoying to work with, but I ROCK that dance floor and hit all your musical cues, you’ll at least feel like you didn’t waste your money but you’d never refer me to your friends and family.
For now, I’d say the three main compliments I get are
Being easy to work with
Having fair prices
Having a great ability to adapt my music to my audience including in languages I don’t speak
If those qualities are important to you, we should talk!
