| HOW DID YOU GET STARTED
AS A DJ..? |
|
| In 2007 I hired dave to be
the DJ at my wedding, and was very much impressed with his ability.
Throughout the process we became good friends, and our love of
music brought us to the topic of DJ entertainment. I expressed
an interest in becoming a DJ as it seemed to compliment my work
as a trial attorney and professional musician. Dave also thought
it would be a natural fit, and as they say….the rest is history. |
|
| |
| WHAT WOULD YOU SAY SUMMARIZES
YOUR DJ STYLE..? |
| Like Lindsey, having been trained by dave, and having just experienced
what it is like while looking for the right DJ, I fully intend
to keep my presence at your event as low-key as possible, while
keeping guests lively, informed and musically entertained all evening..!
Through all points of your day.. (CT and Reception..). |
|
| |
| My DJ style is very similar to
dave and Lindsey's, whereby I do not wish to make myself the
'star' or 'entertainer' of your special day. I do intend on providing
a memorable evening of dance and great music, while keeping things
professional, elegant, and fun. |
| |
| WHY BECOME
A DJ..? |
| As I am getting older now, it seems all
of us in the band are becoming more an more busy, and unable to
perform as we love to do, and once were intently focused on doing.
Priorities and families take over, and I find myself now looking
for that creative outlet that I once had. Being a DJ at these events
where we are fortunate to attend is the perfect way for me to regain
that 'high' of seeing everone have such a great time, and know
I had a direct influence toward that emotion. |
| |
| Honestly, it's as much if not more fun
as performing live for a concert with the band.. I love it. |
| |
| Again, like dave and Lindsey - My top
priority is to create an elegant, refined atmosphere, without producing
a stuffy, or obviously structured evening. I would not have it
any other way.. |
|
| |
| DOES YOUR WORK AS AN ATTORNEY or BAND
MEMBER TRANSLATE SOMEHOW INTO YOUR DJ WORK..? |
| Yes - I believe so in the following
ways..: |
| |
LAW - |
| |
• Psychology - Understanding the psychology of people and
their motivations is very important |
| |
• Very professional in appearance, attitude, and work ethic |
| |
• Preparation is the key to success in the courtroom, as
well at each Wedding |
| |
• Oral presentation skills are already learned and at ease |
| |
|
| |
MUSICIAN - |
