Music

     You may select your own songs or types of music in advance or trust my experience to play a variety of songs to keep everyone entertained.  Over ten years as a DJ has helped me build an extensive collection of music to satisfy every occasion.

     New songs are being added to my collection all the time, and I keep up on all the current hits you hear on the radio.  Of course, if there is something you want played that is not in my collection, I will add it before your event.

     Genres of music in my collection include, but are not limited to:

  • Current Radio - Pop, Club, Country, Adult Contemporary
  • 90s - Rock, Pop, Dance, and Retro Swing
  • 80s - Rock, Pop, and New Wave
  • Rap and Hip Hop
  • 70s - Rock, Disco, and Funk
  • Ska, Reggae, and Punk Rock
  • 50s & 60s Rock 'n Roll
  • Motown
  • Beach Music
  • Rhythm & Blues
  • Country & Western and Rockabilly
  • Vocalists - Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Ella Fitzgerald, Diana Krall, Michael Buble, etc.
  • Jazz - New Orleans Style, Big Band, Bop, Smooth, etc.
  • "Classical" - Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern
  • Salsa, Merengue, Cha Cha, Cumbia, Reggaeton, Bachata, and other World Music
  • Gospel & Christian
  • Ballroom Dance

Sound Equipment

     I use high-end reliable sound equipment (JBL, Crown, Mackie, Apple laptops) and continuously update my music systems to take advantage of the latest technology and best sound quality available.  At  each setup location careful attention is given to proper speaker placement to ensure that the music fills the space evenly without being too loud.  A professional quality wireless microphone is available for use at every event, and a lapel microphone will be provided upon request for wedding ceremonies.  For events where electricity is unavailable, I am able to provide a quiet portable generator to power my sound equipment that is barely noticable at 50 to 100 feet away.

Lighting

    Suitable for every type event from wedding receptions to college parties, lighting will help set the mood for your guests to dance by attracting more attention to the dance floor excitement already taking place.  I provide elegant looking professional automated LED lighting that will provide any color at any intensity you desire. The color(s) may be static to enhance your event decor or change with the music to liven up the dance floor.

Projector and Screen

     You may be planning to show a video, picture montage, or PowerPoint presentation that will be viewed by many people.  I can provide a high quality portable DLP projector and a 60 inch screen that will handle this task for a fraction of the typical out-sourced rental fee.  Since I am already handling the music at your event, this set up will be quick and integrated into my sound system for everyone to easily  hear the presentation.

Karaoke

     Solo performers, duets and groups will have a blast singing along to their favorite songs when you add karaoke to your party.  I will provide a flat panel monitor for the lyrics, professional grade microphones, and a collection of the most popular hits that will satisfy all ages.  I'll work this into your party during dance sets so that it doesn't take over the night or keep the singers coming up one after another (it's your call).
