Djdaddy#sotc

I am old school. You will get prompt professional communications with a slice of fun and a smile (my day job is a corporate one :) fro the get go. I will work with you on what songs/genres you want (and DON'T want) WAY before hand so I can prep my playlists and practice fun ways to mix/blend them!.(maybe make a playlist of the songs you can keep as a thank you..wink wink)
Yes I am a DJ that has true DJ Skills (not over the top showman no worries) not a person pushing buttons and lets songs fade out then on to the next one. Why pay for that right?
Will investigate/visit the venue where your event is to build a rapport with said venue...make sure any electrical/technical set up is covered before the time of your event. WILL show up early and set up make sure we got sound and lights (I often show up earlier then the people who hire me s they can relax..one less thing to be concerned about.
During the party of course you get a friendly pro who of course wants your crowd happy and DANCING! aka requests are taken and do my best to fulfill them (see the comment above what genres you DON'T want ha.)
I am not afraid to engage the crowd encourage them to dance even if I have to put my dancing shoes on. :) ANY announcements you want me to make just ask...if someone you give me consent to make announcement (i.e a toast, roast, shout out etc.) I have two wireless pics that work great so EZ Peezy there.
And lastly if you for any reason (hope not the case) are not satisfied I will make it right.

This is a passion I have resurrected in life after a break for LIFE events,,,Move Career, Wife, Kids, Dog, etc) I would love to share that passion as a hired DJDADDY#SOTC!!

A Tale of Two DJ’s my DJistory
MARCH 21
SO my Story is in two parts
OLD SKOOL DJ (SOTC). Western Michigan (phone number hidden)4 –All thru College I became a DJ (Skunk on the Cut #SOTC) at My College Radio Station (WTHS) mixing hip hop and dance music on vinyl on Technics 1200’s (aka on the 1’s and 2’s) that radio show furthered opportunities for DJ’ing parties, College dances, Fraternity/Sorority formals and finally a Slew of Weddings. I also became resident DJ at small college bar, and 2 Holiday Inn’s in the surrounding cities.
Then after Graduation (I will spare you the details), I “retired” from DJ (sold my gear regretfully) and moved around few years, finally settled in Charlotte (1999) to settle into career, musician (bands), husband and father, etc.
May 2017-aka THE Resurrection When I was hired to DJ my 25th College reunion and the Dive College bar I worked at. After 23 years of NOT doing it..I’d be lying if I told you I was not nervous and wondering if I still had it.
Challenge Accepted!
I re-learned how to DJ like the kids do Digitally with Software, Controller build playlists , some new tricks, etc…I had A BLAST!! I forgot how much I missed it. Not only playing 80, 90’s for my class …the TRUE test was late night when (phone number hidden) year olds showed up and they see this older “Guest DJ”. Challenge Accepted!
I DJ 7 hours that night and rocked that crowd!
Then this year I DJ’d my daughters’ school “Snowflake” Dance and had had just as much fun (if not more) playing a 2.5 hr. Set for 5-11 year olds and a slew of parents and teachers dancing like crazy!
I named myself that night over the mic DJ DADDY Tongue -n-cheek
When parents were asking for my business card to do their parties. I decided why not get back in the game as a $ide-Hu$tle and do something I ALWAYS loved and admired all these years
Then I got booked for a grad party and a wedding this fall
SO DJ DADDY #SOTC is (re)-launched..
Again, I forgot how much I missed it. A true DJ is a MC and a performer of music to bring the BEST out of an event.
That is the spirit I bring to my DJ efforts and events.
A DAD, A DJ , A Great Time to be Had.
KIDS Parties of ALL ages
Peace and Beats,
DJ DADDY #SOTC
