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 have fog machines if anyone needs smoke. 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 DJed for a summer camp dance at a large camp serving kids and adults with disabilities. Our Special Olympics camp campers LOVED the music, the lights, the song selection, and the entertainment. John is so easy to work with, enthusiastic, and has a big passion for what he does. I highly recommend his services for any event- I am looking forward to using his company again. You will not go wrong if you choose John Thorp!!

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.
