Overview

I’ve been DJing since 2014, and over these years, I’ve had the honor of working with so many amazing clients. I know I’m not perfect, and I’ve definitely made mistakes in the past. Every piece of feedback, whether positive or negative, helps me grow into a better DJ and entertainer. At the end of the day, I care deeply about my clients’ experiences, and I’m always working to improve my craft to keep every dance floor alive.
So As a Professional DJ bringing the perfect vibe to weddings, private parties, art shows, corporate events, and karaoke nights. I specialize in reading the room and blending genres like R&B, hip-hop, house, Afrobeat, dancehall, reggaeton, and more.

Great set up!

Dj Moose was very open minded of all requests made. Very accommodating and super cool and complete set up! Only 4 stars because of music being played was not of our choosing/too loud and would be cool if the projector would have a background related to the event instead of a blue screen. I recommend, being throughout with music selection would help.

The projector and a projector screen was an ad on bonus. Doing those events, they took the computer that was connected. They supplied that because that's where the presentation was. They didn't send me the presentation if they would have sent me the presentation. Then I could have, I could have used the presentation on my laptop, and it had made it that flow back. So that's why. Screen was blue, not is what the way they wanted it. And they never told me what they wanted and the music I did ask them countless times and then they told me on the fly. So majority of the music they wanted, I did play that, I played exactly the music they wanted. The problem is

DaMoose is so much fun and made our event a hit!

DaMoose and his crew are the best and turned our summer pool party out! He even made us our own personalized song for the event and brought his limbo stick for a limbo competition! We're so grateful we found him and couldn't recommend him more.

About

About Me
Hey, I’m Terry Da Moose Skillings, and I’ve been bringing music to life since October 31, 2014. It all started with my love for making people smile, dance, and create memories they’ll never forget.

Over the years, I’ve DJed all kinds of events – from beautiful weddings filled with love, to high-energy proms that keep students dancing all night, and even dark-themed parties with moody, immersive vibes. I also host karaoke nights, giving everyone the chance to step up, grab the mic, and become the star of the show.

My style is all about reading the crowd and making sure the music fits the moment perfectly. Whether it’s a bride and groom’s first dance, a prom king and queen celebration, a gothic masquerade ball, or a karaoke singer’s big moment, I strive to make each event special and memorable.

I believe in honesty and growth. Throughout my DJ journey, I’ve learned from my mistakes and used them to become better at what I do. Every party teaches me something new, and I’m always working to bring the best experience possible to my clients and their guests.

When you book me, you’re not just hiring a DJ – you’re getting someone who truly cares about your event, your people, and your memories.

Let’s make your next party unforgettable. Ready to dance? Let’s make it happen.

Additional booking notes

In the pulsating world of DJing, the rhythm is driven not only by beats but also by the unseen technical symphony behind the scenes. Exploring the technical requirements for a DJ service reveals a fascinating landscape where cutting-edge equipment meets artistic expression, creating an unforgettable auditory and visual experience.

Essential Hardware Components
✅ Professional Turntables
Turntables are the foundation of any DJ’s setup, shaping the soundscape and feel of each set. Choosing between Direct Drive and Belt Drive systems involves factors like torque, stability, and response time to deliver the smoothest and most responsive performance possible. Modern turntables incorporate enhanced tonearms, high-precision platters, and durable build quality, elevating the tactile experience for the DJ and enhancing the music experience for your guests.
