This is the comment I hear the most from clients and guests
at the events I perform at. The best part about hearing it is, it's absolutely true!
I do love what I do for a living. I've always loved people and music
and have a fun sense of humor, so this was a perfect fit for me. I basically
party for a living and in the process help other people have fun at events.
What could be better?
Experience
I have thoroughly enjoyed all the different types of events I've done
This includes Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, weddings, corporate events and private events,
over the 10+ years I've been in business. The last 7 of those years
I've been a full-time DJ, averaging 135 events per year.
Reading the crowd
Because of my varied expreiences as a DJ, I've become very good at gauging
a crowd to know what music to play to keep the crowd going, as well as
building additional momentum on the dance floor.
Having a large musical library that runs from the '30s to the present certainly
helps in that respect. I bring the following types of music with me to every event:
- Rock 'n Roll
- Top 40
- Alternative
- Big Band and Swing
- Motown
- Dance
- Country
- Standards/Show Tunes
- Soul, Disco and Funk
- R&B and Hip-Hop
- Slow Songs and Ballads
- Ethnic-Jewish, Latin, etc...
Interaction My experience also enables me to read a crowd to know what if any interaction
is needed to get them going. I'm one of the most outgoing, interactive
DJ's in the industry, and if any DJ can jumpstart a party, it's me.
I tailor my level of interaction to what the client wants as well as to
what the crowd needs in the moment. In some cases, very little
interaction is wanted or needed, so I very happily tone things down. Yet in many
other instances I find myself with a crowd that doesn't know how to get started
without my help. In those situations I may get out on the dance floor to lead
group and/or line dances, get groups of of people singing together on the mic
to certain songs or use my personality to help draw people out. In any case,
this is all done in such a way as to not be obtrusive. It works!
I have two wireless mics to help me interact. One is handheld and is also
available for use by my clients and their guests. The other is a headset,
which enables me to lead group and line dances with my hands free.
A Stress-Free Experience Because it can be stressful to plan an event, I want the event to be
stress-free for my clients. I accomplish this by doing the following:
