Introduction

I'm your one stop shop for fantastic events *********, ! I believe fun & high quality events don't have to come with an exorbitant price tag. I am a one man operation (owner / operator, DJ / MC). When you book with my service you will have me as your DJ and I will not be sending someone else in my place. Performing at parties with diverse musical styles throughout the course of the year. I enjoy all genres of music and meeting great people at the events that I perform at. Playing something for every one and finding the songs that bridge the gap, to get everyone out there on the dance floor enjoying themselves!

We recently had the pleasure of working with GNJ DJ & Photobooth Service, who impressed us with his exceptional professionalism, rapid responsiveness, and punctuality. His outstanding work ethic and ability to read the room resulted in a musical selection that kept our guests thoroughly entertained. He balanced his presence perfectly, stepping into the spotlight with the right tracks and staying ‘invisible’ when necessary, allowing the event to flow naturally. His intuitive understanding of our guests' needs made our event unforgettable.

Details: Party • 25 - 49 guests • 31 - 50 years old • Pop • Rock • Oldies • 80s • R&B / soul • Top 40 • Funk / disco • Outdoor venue

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I start with an email or phone greeting (whichever the client is most comfortable with). For weddings and more involved events I will schedule a personal consultation meeting.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I played alto & baritone sax in jazz, symphonic, and marching bands giving me a terrific appreciation for all types of music.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
My knowledge & appreciation for all styles of music began in grade school while playing the alto & baritone saxophones through highschool, as well as my personal interest in the high end audio equipment. It was a natural fit for me!
