Hired on Thumbtack

I hired Erick and his crew to Dj a music festival- mother son dance for our whole school. It's hard to get boys to dance with there moms but Erick did it. I booked it two months early and had to make changes to the expectation several times I even had to change the date and still Erick and his crew jumped through all the hoops I threw at them. The sound was amazing and the set list he picked was age appropriate while still high energy. He also accommodated every song request the kids and I made. He did not even mind when the kids were stage diving right next to his gear. These guys are true pros and I plan to hire them again. 🎉🎼

Erick did an amazing job, was quick to reach out and get in touch with. I gave a list of music that had specific songs and he incorporated those into his mix and sounded phenomenal. I really enjoyed his advice and direction in achieving my vision for this surprise party. Erick is a great and personable guy and plays well to the crowd, but most of all makes you feel confident in choosing him as your professional. Thanks again for everything!

April 14, 2019 As anyone would be, I was a little hesitant trusting my event to someone I was not sure or knew anything about. Erick was responsive to all my concerns and so I was much relieved with his reassurances. He and Tony showed up at the the appointed time and even though the party had started, I was appreciative of their low-key setup. Thank you both for making my event a special and memorable and hope to be able to use you again for future celebrations. Ed Cruz-East County

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We offer turnkey solutions and we never nickle and dime our customers!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Once you decide you’d like to sit down and meet with us, we’ll set up a meeting with your DJ to go over your event in detail. Some companies cannot tell you who will be your DJ until a month or so prior to your event. This can be dangerous for couples as they are left with almost no option if they find that the DJ they were assigned is not a good fit for them. With us, the DJ you meet with and decide to book is the DJ you will be working with to plan an awesome event!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Bachelor in Science in Sound Arts from ECDA Certified Project Manager Certified ProTools Operator, Music & Post Certified Apple Logic Certified Google IT Professional
