Introduction

I got back into entertaining around 2002 and have continued to entertain events. Weddings, School Events, College Events, Corporate Events, Retirement Parties, Fundraisers, Birthday parties, School Proms, Parties, and many other events. I love what I am doing, and I don't mind talking in front of people at any event. I always show up ahead of time to make sure everything goes as planned. I check the sound and lights. The smiles from the people I entertain make my day. I love new and old music. 50/60's, Motown, jazz. Rap, Bebop, Classical, Rock, Soul, EDM, Electronic, Disco, Hip Hop, Rap, Country, Holiday music, 70's, 80's. 90s, 2000-2024 music, Top 40 Latin, Lima Peru, Spanish American music, Bollywood, Indie Pop Hits, Kidz Bop for the Kids. I get to listen to good music and meet new people, and I love what I'm doing. Check out my reviews, Hope to see you soon!

John is such a nice guy and was a pleasure to work with for my block party. He came early to set up and wasn’t on the clock like other DJs- he’ll play until “people fall down”, his words! He has a nice lighting setup. Recommend giving him a playlist so he knows what kind of songs you’d like to hear.

Details: Birthday party • 25 - 49 guests • 31 - 50 years old • 51 or older • Pop • Hip-hop / Rap • Top 40 • Oldies • Rock • 80s • Outdoor venue • Lighting

John was great to work with. He took time to respond to each of my questions and went above and beyond in helping me. it is my daughter's wedding and she needs extra time to finalize getting her DJ and my recommendation is that she hire John. He has excellent reviews and his website is professional and easy to follow. I especially like his calendar. It makes it easy to see if he is still available when my daughter makes the final decision. Thank you John. Gayle A.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing moves with the market, I like to work with the customers to make sure they get what they need at a fair price.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
A good introduction, going over what their needs are, and helping them by answering questions they might have at the time.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I stay on top of new light systems, sound system, music by watching YouTube, reading and online research for new ideas I get a lot of information from LinkedIn, other DJ's in the business around the United States. I look at billboard top 100 songs every week to stay up with the music.
