Check out some of my reviews below: Recent Reviews via Thumbtack: “I cannot possibly put into words how happy we were that we chose DJ Prince Akeem for my 50th birthday party. Every time I thought I’d take a break from the dance floor he reeled me back in with the next song. He knows how to keep the party going and was so gracious to allow us to extend the time because he was SO GOOD we didn’t want to stop dancing. Days later people are still talking about how good our DJ was. Prince Akeem is a whole vibe. He is worth every penny and then some. I will never hire another DJ. If he’s not available for the event date then the event date will just need to be changed. He’s just that good.” -Ken. I "DJ Prince Akeem was great! He arrived early and has the music rocking all night. He made sure to play a variety music that would please our diverse crowd. I recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ for an event. You won't be disappointed." -Julisa. W "It was an absolute pleasure working with DJ Prince Akeem. He saved the day when the original DJ wasn't able to attend the wedding.

We plan to use him for events in the future!" -Rebecca. D "DJ Prince Akeem was a pleasure to work with. He was very responsive to my numerous correspondences whether by email or text.

DJ Prince Akeem was a life saver! We originally had a DJ in line but he bailed 3 weeks before our wedding. Needless to say, DJ Prince Akeem stepped up to the plate and provided great communication to put us at ease. He was so easy to work with and on the day of our wedding he took care of everything! From his music to professionalism he was amazing! So many of our guests loved him at our wedding, I highly recommend him if you're looking for a variety of music!
